Pros and cons of botox for hair
One of the most popular and demanded treatments for hair is botox. The pros and cons of this method of restoring curls will be discussed in this article.
What is it?
Many girls think that botox for hair and skin is one and the same remedy. However, it is not. Botox for hair is a complex cosmetic product that contains quite a few active ingredients.
The peculiarity of this tool is that each of the biologically active components is able to have a beneficial effect on the shafts and hair follicles.
In order for all the substances contained in the product to penetrate deep into the hair, manufacturers have developed special components, including intra-silane molecules. These active molecules act as a kind of "conductor". With their help, all biologically active components can penetrate deep into the hair.
Currently, there are several different cosmetic products called hair botox.
However, their composition may vary. Such differences largely depend on what active components a particular manufacturer has added to their product. They must be indicated on the packaging. So, this cosmetic product may contain:
- elastin and keratin;
- lactic acid;
- essential oils;
- group of vitamins: A, C, B, E;
- a complex of amino acids;
- green tea and aloe vera extracts;
- proteins.
Positive points
The mechanism of action of this agent is quite simple. With the help of special intra-silane molecules, all active components penetrate into the hair, contributing to a kind of "sealing" of the damage present in it. This effect contributes to the fact that the hair looks better.At the same time, through the use of this cosmetic product you can get rid of several aesthetic problems associated with hair at once.
So, an important advantage of this procedure is that it helps to improve the appearance of the hair. At the same time, after using Botox, the hair looks smooth and shiny.
Of course, it is impossible to achieve a strong shine through the use of this product, but it is quite possible to give the curls a natural natural shine. It is no coincidence that this procedure is quite popular among girls with dyed hair. After using Botox, their curls usually look good and well-groomed.
Hair care professionals point out that such a procedure is also worthwhile for girls who want to grow long curls. A common problem faced by almost all beauties who have such a desire are split ends. Severe dryness of the ends also contributes to the fact that the hairs can fall out more. And this, in turn, does not help at all to grow long beautiful hair.
The use of Botox helps to "solder" split ends, which means that it will be much easier to grow beautiful curls.
Botox contains quite a few components that can have a beneficial effect on the hair follicles. If this remedy is applied not only to the main length, but also to the hair roots, then in this case it is possible to achieve and improve the condition of the scalp. So, after using the product, the skin becomes more hydrated there, and hair growth is therefore improved.
The complex of amino acids and peptides contained in Botox penetrates deep into the hair shaft, contributing to their thickening. As a result, this procedure is recommended for girls with naturally thin hair. Also, this procedure helps to achieve natural beautiful root volume. At the same time, the hair looks well-groomed.
Botox can also be used for curls that are difficult to style. Typically, this hair is quite fluffy and porous. The substances contained in Botox contribute to the fact that the curls become denser, which means they are easier to fit.
This preparation can also be used by owners of wavy hair in order to make them smoother and more even.
Cons and consequences
Botox is a procedure that not everyone can do. So, the use of this cosmetic product should be abandoned by girls who have a number of contraindications. These restrictions include:
- allergies and individual intolerance to the drug, as well as all the ingredients that make up it;
- pregnancy and the period of breastfeeding;
- the presence of wounds and injuries on the scalp;
- fungal scalp infection;
- a number of pathologies of the nervous system;
- menstruation.
Unfortunately, the use of Botox does not always have only positive consequences. Some girls note that after such a procedure, they are faced with the appearance of dandruff. This problem even arose among beauties who had never encountered it before.
Another negative consequence of the use of Botox can be the appearance of unpleasant itching of the skin. This symptom leads to the fact that minor injuries and damage may appear on the skin, due to constant scratching. The reason for the appearance of such an unfavorable symptom may be an individual intolerance to the product or an allergy to it. Also, dandruff or itchy skin may appear due to too often this procedure.
The appearance of allergic dermatitis is another possible adverse consequence of using Botox. Doctors note that for any manifestation of allergy to this remedy, its use should be abandoned.
The Botox procedure has certain disadvantages. One of them is a temporary short effect.Hair after Botox application usually looks well-groomed only for 2-3 months. In order for the curls to look beautiful and well-groomed much longer, it is recommended to repeat the Botox procedure regularly. It is not recommended to re-treat the hair with the agent earlier than three months later.
Another disadvantage of this procedure is its cost. The price for the procedure is determined not only by the initial cost of the drug, but also by where it is performed. If you wish, you can purchase the product from a professional hair care store and apply it at home. However, since several consecutive treatments may be required, girls who want to try botox for hair should be prepared for the fact that will have to sacrifice a significant share of the family budget.
Botox does not work well with some aesthetic hair treatments. So, experts do not recommend carrying out such a procedure together with biowaving curls. The combination of these methods can lead to the fact that the hair becomes lifeless and resembles a "loofah".
Botox should also be carefully applied to hair that has just been blonded or highlighted.
Expert opinion
Hair botox, according to hair care professionals, is a very popular procedure today. Experts note that this method really helps to improve the appearance of the hair. However, they also emphasize that Botox should not be considered a real panacea for repairing curls.

Reviews
The opinions of women who have tried Botox for hair are very different. Positive reviews indicate that this product helped to make the hair well-groomed, and also contributed to the creation of a beautiful shine. Many girls note that this procedure helped to make the curls more "obedient" during styling and when creating hairstyles. At the same time, the beauties also note that after using Botox, the hair visually began to look healthier.
But there are also opposite opinions. So, some girls note that instead of the expected smoothness and shine, they were faced with the fact that the curls began to look dry and break more. There are also reviews that after the application of Botox, dandruff and severe flaking appeared on the scalp.
There are also girls' opinions that Botox did not help them at all. At the same time, the beauties note that they did not notice a significant improvement in the appearance of the curls after using this product.
Many girls note that they also did not like the fact that this procedure must be repeated every 3-3.5 months in order to "consolidate" the achieved effect, and this is financially costly.

After this procedure, my hair looks like a washcloth. The second week has gone ... I'm in shock. The tips are dry and lifeless. So, the master made some mistake. Never settle for botex again!
Most likely, this is a mistake of the master, there are a lot of reasons - from a low-quality product to an incorrectly performed procedure.
Most likely a wizard error. I have been doing the procedure for a year now, after 3-4 months I am very satisfied. My hair has become obedient, it looks healthier, I don't use an iron, I let it dry without a hairdryer, it began to grow faster, I am satisfied with the procedure.
I have gorgeous curly hair, not a washcloth, I only use natural products. "Compote" for hair is much richer than all this chemistry. The peel from the apple and carrot is covered with boiling water and voila! Luxurious shiny curls. Many people think that I attend expensive procedures. I can do it, but I love my natural hair too much. True love for hair is not an investment of money, it is a constant investment of love and care for oneself.
Can you write in more detail how you make this "compote" for hair? I want to use it too.
Can I also have a recipe for such a "compote"?
