Shampoos after botox for hair: types and features

Botox hair treatment is one of the fastest modern ways to restore healthy shine and smoothness to curls. Healing cocktail revives even the most hopeless strands. In order for the resulting effect to last for a long time, it is important to properly care for your hair after Botox.

For a while, you will have to give up staining and minimize the use of a heat-iron, a hot hair dryer and tongs. In addition, you will need to stock up on special shampoos that do not contain chemically active components. If you ignore this recommendation, the effect of treatment with a nourishing smoothing composition for hair restoration will completely disappear after a month. With proper care after applying Botox, the curls shine with a healthy shine and flow beautifully for about 3 months.

There are many aggressive factors in the environment that negatively affect the hair. Hair dries up and becomes brittle from UV radiation, dust and dirt particles settle on them. All this worsens their condition. If you add to this the harm caused by frequent styling with thermal devices and styling products, it becomes clear that hair needs nutrition and support.

In addition, in many shampoos, which should (according to manufacturers' statements) improve the condition of the hair, in fact, they only harm them. They are not suitable for hair after botox because they have an inappropriate composition. Especially those that contain harmful sulfates.

You don't have to go overboard creating natural shampoos yourself. Mixtures of eggs and herbs do not last long, and preparing them takes time and effort.In addition, there is now such a huge selection of shampoos with a delicate composition. This, of course, is not natural kefir and chamomile broth, but sulfates and other components harmful to hair are absent there.

To choose a quality sulfate-free gentle treatment, cosmetologists advise to observe the following rules.

• Do not purchase detergent with silicone. This substance only creates the illusion of hydration by forming a film on the hair. In fact, the hair becomes heavier, which harms the condition of the follicles.
• Do not experiment with products of little-known brands. A spontaneous purchase of an untested mass product may be derived from low-grade raw materials. It is important to study the composition of the detergent before making a purchase. It should not contain dyes, all kinds of preservatives and sulfates.
• You need to choose shampoo by hair type.

Sulfates (sulfuric acid salts) are included in conventional shampoos as foaming agents. These substances are aggressive surfactants and wash away the protective hydrolipid layer from the hair. As a result, dryness of the scalp appears, microcirculation of blood is disturbed under it, which leads to hair loss. Manufacturers love to use this trick - the thicker the lather, the better the hair is washed. But this is not true. Foam is unable to remove dirt, but only creates the appearance of cleansing. Other components are involved in removing the dirt.

Sulfates found in shampoos can be found in dishwashing and car wash liquids. Chemical components negatively affect hair after botox treatment. The following components are considered the most aggressive.

• Ammonium laureth sulfate. Irritating to scalp.
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. Has an aggressive effect on the skin and hair structure.
• Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate. The most dangerous of the elements, destroying the protein of botulinum toxin and increasing dryness and subsequent fragility of the hair.

Sulfates have the following “abilities” that are not beneficial to hair health:

• provoke allergic manifestations;
• dehydrate the scalp;
• destructively affect the epidermis and hair follicles;
• thinning curls.

With regular use of sulfate products to wash your hair, you will need repeated frequent courses of Botox, or even consultations with a trichologist and dermatologist. This is followed by long-term hair treatment and restoration of the normal skin condition. Such shampoos neutralize the effect of Botox instantly. Just one wash - and the curls noticeably lose their shine and smoothness. Using these funds is not only not advisable, but also harmful.

When switching to sulfate-free shampoo, changes in the positive direction will not be long in coming: hair will accelerate growth and become more elastic, dandruff and itching will disappear.

Sulfate-free shampoos do not wash off useful substances along with the foam, which is why collagen and vitamin cocktail remain in the hair structure longer. Some consumers mistakenly believe that sulfate-free products don't have enough foam to wash out dirt. In fact, as already said, foam almost does not participate in the elimination of dust, grease and dirt from the hair. After the Botox procedure, you need to wash your hair with sulfate-free products with a certain acidity. Ideally 4-5 pH.

If you use shampoos without the above components, the positive result from Botox on the hair will be obvious: they will stop breaking, dandruff and itching will remain in the past, and the growth rate of the hair will accelerate. Sulfate-free shampoo treats hair carefully without adversely affecting its structure. It does not wash off the beneficial substances, and all the vitamins and collagen that Botox contains remain inside the hair.

Organic cosmetics for the strength of healthy hair are rich in natural extracts from coconut oil and glucose - Lauret sulfosuccinate, Lauril glucoside, Cocoglucoside. Therefore, such detergents are excellent at coping with various types of dirt. Natural cosmetics for washing hair perfectly cleanses the strands without changing their structure and without harming the scalp.

There are still disadvantages to shampoos without harmful sulfates. Let them be few, but it will be useful to know the other side of the coin:

• natural ingredients can cause severe allergies;
• when washing, little foam is formed;
• funds are less economical due to their liquid consistency;
• often you have to rinse your hair again (especially after styling products);
• do not get rid of dandruff;
• high cost with a small volume.

Having found out which shampoo will be the most suitable for hair care after applying Botox to them, it remains to decide on the general recommendations. After the procedure for applying Botox, you can wash your hair in 2-3 days. This time is enough for most of the nutrients to penetrate into the curls. You need to wash your hair with water up to 40-45 C. The high temperature will accelerate the washing out of the hair of all those vitamins and minerals that are contained in botox.

The first 1.5-2 weeks after the procedure, the hair should not be exposed to excessive mechanical stress. It is important to comb the strands very carefully, preventing tangling. It is not recommended to use any additional strengthening compounds. After Botox, the strands are already enriched with all the necessary substances.

A taboo is imposed on high temperatures during styling, on any thermal effect such as curling or flattening with an iron. Temporarily it will be necessary to reduce the contact of the hair with external factors of the destructive atmosphere. In particular, do not expose them to ultraviolet heat. On the street, be sure to cover your head with a headdress for the season. At home, frequent wet cleaning is required to minimize the amount of dust. Its settling on the hair immediately after the Botox procedure will have a bad effect on the hair.

How long the result lasts also depends on the woman's diet and diet. For an attractive look of curls, it is worth removing fried and very fatty foods from the diet. It is recommended to introduce natural and dairy products, berries, fruits and cereals into the menu. In principle, it is advisable to organize such nutrition on an ongoing basis, regardless of whether Botox was done or not.

The head needs to be washed sulfate-free shampoo, focusing on all the recommendations given above. Thus, the effect of smooth hair will last longer and even after the product is washed out, the hair will look more attractive and healthier than before. It is advisable to wash your hair with such a gentle detergent without treatment with all kinds of agents such as Botox or keratin. Otherwise, ordinary sulfate shampoo will sooner or later dry out the curls, changing their structure for the worse.

Sulfates are especially detrimental to naturally dry hair. They become brittle and delaminated very quickly. Sulfates can also lead to the appearance of profuse dandruff, as they aggressively act not only on the strands, but also on the scalp. The top layer is dehydrated and depleted, there is dryness and irritation, itching. The hair follicles are gradually destroyed, the cells of the dermis die off, and allergic reactions appear.
