Which is better for hair: botox or lamination?

A woman's appearance is largely dependent on the condition of her hair. Despite the fact that many girls by nature have healthy, thick, strong and beautiful curls, there are a large number of various external circumstances (in particular, ecology, poor-quality care products, poor water quality, and much more) that worsen the condition of the hair. That is why many ladies have to resort to wellness beauty treatments, the most popular of which are botox and lamination.

What are these hair healing methods? How are they different and which one should you choose? What is the cost of the procedures? Read more about this in our material.

Botox, by its very nature, is the process of applying gentle cosmetics to the hair (do not confuse hair botox with so-called beauty injections). The preparations used in this procedure are intended primarily for smoothing, strengthening and healing the hair along its entire length.

The basis of almost all cosmetic products that are used to perform the Botox procedure is Intrasilan. Microparticles of this component accumulate inside the hair shaft, thereby strengthening it. In addition to the main element, Botox preparations include:

• fortified complexes - have a positive systemic effect;
• plant extracts - perform a regenerative function;
• essential oils - protect hair;
• keratin - fills in the gaps inside the hair shafts;
• amino acids - fill the hair with moisture, and also help to strengthen;
• collagen - solders the hairs.

In general, among the popular remedies for Botox, the following drugs are distinguished: Grammy, Capilar, Selective, L'oreal, Fix Nanokeratin, Nexxt professional, Perola, Felps, Inoar and many others. dr.

It is important to note that today beauty salons offer 2 types of Botox procedures: cold and hot. Both are designed to heal and strengthen hair, however, the bonus effect of hot botox is also straightening - hair becomes straight and smoother.

Before directly carrying out the Botox procedure, you should wash your hair with a special shampoo, which is included in the Botox preparation kit. After the curls are dried, and in the case of hot botox, a special serum is also applied to them, which is also washed off later. Next, the hair is divided into strands.

If you have chosen a cold procedure, the master applies serum to each strand using a special syringe, and after 40-60 minutes - a sealing agent. After that, a mask is applied and the head is washed again. If your choice fell on the hot type, then after washing your hair and applying serum, the master uses a special thermal device for the procedure - an iron.

Before starting the Botox procedure, you need to find out if you have any contraindications. So, these include:

• wounds on the scalp;
• dermatological diseases;
• neuromuscular diseases;
• it is contraindicated to do botox for girls under 18 and women over 60;
• individual intolerance and allergy to the components of Botox preparations.

If there is at least one of the indicated contraindications, the procedure must be abandoned. Neglecting this condition can have negative consequences not only for your hair, but for your health in general.

Hair lamination is not a medical procedure. It is primarily intended to prevent further damage to hair and the impact on them of various negative factors. Moreover, an important feature of this procedure is the fact that lamination is able to prevent the occurrence of various negative consequences both inside and outside the hair shaft, thus providing a complex effect.

Positive Effects:

• moisturizing;
• sealing the ends of the hair;
• strengthening;
• saturation with color (that is why it is recommended to laminate dyed or highlighted hair);
• giving a natural shine;
• increase in volume;
• simplification of the combing procedure.

There are various types of lamination:

• cold (with this procedure, the wizard does not use any additional tools);
• hotter (the use of thermal devices is assumed);
• silk (includes hair treatment);
• colored (hair improvement is accompanied by the acquisition of a new shade);
• biological (only natural remedies and preparations are used for the procedure).

A stylist should wash it thoroughly before laminating your hair. After that, the hair is treated with a special tool, and a hat or cap is put on the head (it is also possible to use a special lamp). Next, a special oil and a booster are applied to the curls, and then a regenerating agent. The next step is to apply a special lamination solution, completing the washing and drying procedure.

It is important to note that the lamination procedure should be abandoned for those girls whose hair is rather weakened and damaged (in such a situation, first of all, it is necessary to carry out medical, and not wellness, procedures).Also, experts do not advise laminating hair for those who have severe hair loss, those who have hair below the waist or dense curls.

Now that we have familiarized ourselves with the nature of the most popular health treatments for hair, we should understand the question of how botox differs from lamination (and vice versa), what is the fundamental difference between the processes, and what are the consequences for hair.

So, a noticeable difference can be seen in the immediate result from the procedures.

• If you opted for lamination, then you should expect color saturation and brightness to be preserved (even with dyed and streaked hair). In addition, your curls will be straight and smooth, gaining a natural shine and volume. Another positive effect of lamination is thickening the hair.
• Botox is more aimed at healing the strands from the inside. After the procedure, the hair will become more alive, it will gain elasticity, become strong and resistant to external influences.

In addition, there are differences in the cost of salon procedures. It is this characteristic that is often decisive for many women. It should be noted right away that both procedures are quite expensive, especially if they are carried out in elite beauty salons by highly qualified specialists. So, high-quality botox will cost you at least 2,500 rubles, and lamination can be done from 2,000 rubles. The specific price will depend not only on the length of your hair and the preparations used, but also on the pricing policy of your chosen beauty salon.

Of course, the choice of a particular procedure is a purely individual decision. If your goal is treatment, recovery, recovery from the inside, then Botox should be chosen. If you are the happy owner of healthy hair and want only to restore it a little, as well as give it a flawless look, then you can give preference to lamination. However, it is important to remember that in either case, you should choose only experienced and highly qualified masters, as well as proven beauty salons with a good reputation. You shouldn't skimp on your beauty and health.

Thus, we have learned about the nature and essence of popular health treatments for your hair. Lamination and botox differ, first of all, in their purpose. So, the first procedure is suitable for healthy, but lifeless and dull hair, and the second - for damaged and weakened curls. It is for this indicator that one should give preference to one or another option.

If you are unsure of the condition of your hair, then by contacting a professional beauty salon, you can undergo specialized diagnostics from a master trichologist who will tell you in detail about the condition of your hair, as well as give all the necessary recommendations and advice.

It is also important to note that despite the fact that theoretically, the lamination and botox procedures can be performed independently at home, the masters do not recommend using this opportunity. The procedure, carried out by an unqualified master, can not only not have a positive effect, but also significantly harm the already weakened hair. Therefore, be careful and discreet.
