Hair botox and keratin straightening are two procedures that are often confused with each other. Apparently both improve the appearance of the hair, making it shiny and smooth. But in fact they differ in both potency and durability.
Effect
Keratin straightens and improves the appearance of strands, softening them from the outside. And Botox repairs hair from the inside by nourishing the hair fiber.
So how does it work? keratin straightening? First of all, keratin is a natural protein found in hair, skin and nails. 80-90% of this consists of hair. The composition is based on chemical compounds that weaken the disulfide bonds in the hair (bridges that hold protein fibers together and form the shape of the hair), straightening the hair and making it more flexible. After applying the composition with keratin and then heating the strands with an iron, the hair straightens more easily and keratin is fixed to it. In addition, the composition includes aldehydes – straightening components. At high temperatures (when the hair is heated), aldehydes turn into formaldehydes – highly toxic substances that can cause an allergic reaction or skin irritation. Because of this side effect, many experts do not recommend performing the procedure at all.
botox It aims at deep care of the hair, in which damaged areas are filled with a special composition of keratin, collagen, amino acids, vitamins and oils. There are two types of procedures: Hot and cold Botox. Hot Botox helps eliminate frizz and leaves hair smooth and soft to the touch. Ironing is not used in cold technique. This type is aimed at restoring the internal structure of the hair and giving it external attractiveness.
Effect duration
With proper hair care, results after Botox will last for 1.5-2 months. And the effect of keratin straightening will be visible up to 4-5 months.
Price
The cost of the keratin straightening procedure starts from six thousand rubles. The price of Botox services is lower – from three thousand rubles.
