Photo: wallpapercan.com Hair Botox is not an injection cosmetology at all, but a useful treatment for moisturizing and nourishing curls. In salons, a special mixture with vitamins, keratin and other useful additives is applied to them. This all needs to be properly soaked and dried. But the procedure is quite expensive, but I want to try it. Especially for you, we learned everything about Botox for hair at home!
What is it for?
Botox is similar to a hair mask, but its effect lasts for a couple of months. Unlike straightening with keratin, there is no need to straighten the curls. But the fluffiness and disheveled look with untidy split ends still go away.
Botox formulations contain dozens of nutritional components, plant extracts, hyaluronic acid, keratin and elastin. The procedure will appeal to girls whose hair is hopelessly dry after years of coloring and styling. If your curls have deteriorated due to illness, hormones and stress, or are naturally weak, Botox will also improve the situation.
It is important to understand that Botox is a cosmetic procedure, so its effects are temporary. But even this way it lasts up to 3 months, and after that you can safely repeat it. In addition, Botox supports cool shades of colored hair, and especially cool blonde without yellowness.

Varieties
Depending on the application technology, there are several types of products.
- Cold Botox. Recommended for girls who have scalp problems, split ends or dull, dry hair. It can also be used to stimulate hair growth. The duration of this procedure does not exceed 40 minutes, but after 3 weeks it is advisable to repeat it to consolidate the effect obtained.
- Hot Botox. It is used not only to improve the health of strands, but also to straighten them. This procedure is carried out using ironing at high temperatures. But don't worry about the condition of your hair. After all, the composition of Botox prevents their damage even with such an aggressive effect.
You need to choose the best option not only taking into account your own wishes, but also depending on your hair type.
Choice of drug
Almost all major cosmetic brands produce their own series for the Botox procedure. When choosing, pay attention to the composition. For example, oils make hair smooth and shiny, but weigh it down, and Intra-Silan restores the structure of damaged hair, but not everyone uses it.
You can even make your own whey. Mix 2 ml of collagen with elastin, 3 ml of 15% hyaluronic acid, 10 ml of keratin and jojoba oil, 2 drops of 8% lactic acid, 1 capsule of vitamins C and E. All these ingredients are available in pharmacies, so decide for yourself, whatever is more convenient and profitable for you.

Sugaring at home: how to do it right for yourself
General recommendations
The compositions of the masks differ. Compliance with general recommendations for their use will increase the effectiveness of the procedures:
- The mask is made for one session. The ingredients used lose their properties over time.
- Before applying any composition, the skin must be cleansed. Scrubs, foams and lotions are suitable for this procedure.
- After applying the mask, you do not need to move your facial muscles. Actions reduce the degree of weldability of substances.
Many masks lead to a feeling of dryness. You can eliminate the side effect with a regular moisturizer. To achieve results, the procedure is carried out at least 1-2 times a week. In this case, you can alternate the compositions if changes are observed after their use. If after a few weeks there is no result, you need to change the composition of the mask. It is better to control the results with photographs. Changes occur gradually, so many do not notice them.
Botox is used for cosmetic preparations due to multi-stage purification, reducing the concentration of the active substance and adding stabilizers. Injections cannot be given at home. The procedure involves calculating the dose and determining the puncture site. The area is decontaminated and local anesthesia is applied. This is done by doctors after a preliminary consultation, during which the use of Botox is determined. The results of the injections are amazing. But many are simply afraid of injections that are given to sore spots on the face.
Application of the drug
It is most convenient to apply the drug with a large syringe without a needle or a bottle with a narrow spout separately on each strand. Be sure to step back a centimeter from the roots, because Botox cannot be applied to the scalp. To distribute the product, use a fine comb.

5 best paste recipes for sugaring at home
Description of the action of the composition
Let's figure out what this drug is.
The main active ingredient of the product is Intrasilam. It has a unique property: getting inside the hair, Intrasilam turns from one into many tiny molecules, distributed over the entire area of the curl, and stays there for a long time, thereby making the strands strong, healthy and well-groomed. Additional components of Botox are elastin, valuable amino acids, vitamin complex, hyaluronic acid, and vegetable oils.
Hair care after Botox
We recommend doing the procedure in the morning or afternoon, since you cannot lie down for at least 5 hours after it. Also, you should not collect your hair, do hairstyles or wear hats - nothing that will contribute to bends and creases.
In the future, you can use shampoos, conditioners and even occasionally masks - but only sulfate-free ones. Sulfates quickly wash out the mixture, so the effect will only last a couple of weeks. Also, for 1.5 weeks, avoid the scorching sun, salt water, solariums, swimming pools and saunas.

Useful tips
Before you decide to try hair botox at home, catch some more useful facts and recommendations!
1. Botox can and should be done on short hair - this way you can get rid of daily styling in the morning. 2. It is impossible to unambiguously calculate how long the effect will last and how pronounced it will be. This is always very individual and depends on the condition of the hair. 3. It is not recommended to do Botox for pregnant or breastfeeding women, because the result can be unpredictable. 4. If you have skin diseases or damaged scalp, you cannot do the procedure before treatment. 5. If you wear makeup, we recommend doing it 5 days before Botox to avoid unexpected reactions. 6. To dye your hair over Botox, choose a dye half a tone darker than usual. It will not appear as bright and rich. 7. During the procedure, always dry your hair with a hairdryer - it doesn’t matter whether it’s cold or hot. 8. Styling products, curling irons and flat irons can be used, but rarely. Each styling shortens the duration of the Botox effect.

Pros and cons of such methods
The method of influencing nerve impulses has several advantages when compared with injections. They are as follows:
- Fewer contraindications. The injections damage the skin. Therefore, doctors often refuse to perform the procedure due to concomitant chronic diseases.
- After the cream, facial expressions are not disturbed. With high doses of Botox, there is a chance that the patient will not be able to express emotions or feel contact with the skin. The situation occurs due to a complete blocking of the process of transmission of nerve impulses. A frozen face is acquired due to doctor mistakes.
- Does not cause injury to the skin and muscle cells. There is no need to make any punctures to apply the cream. At the same time, movements are made that increase the degree of absorption of substances.
- The cream is applied to any part of the body.
There are also a few disadvantages. They relate to the low effectiveness of the procedure, since wrinkles do not disappear completely. At the same time, the cost of peptide-based drugs is high. Not everyone is able to achieve visible results.
Rules for using professional kits
At the moment, countless drugs for restorative procedures are presented in stores. But the following brands are in demand among our women :

These products have a standard application algorithm. which is described in the article above. But we should talk separately about drugs from companies such as Loreal, Honma Tokyo and Nano Botox, since some points in the instructions are added, and some are slightly adjusted. Let's start with the instructions for use of Loreal .
Hair preparation is the same (wash, pat dry with a towel).- Divide the dried hair into strands (five centimeters in length and one in width).
- Take the mixture into a syringe and apply it in the middle of the selected strand, retreating about 2 cm from the roots.
- Then use your hands (wearing gloves) to distribute the product over the entire area of the strand.

- Then apply the fixing mask included in the kit without washing off the first product.
- Put the cap on again and leave, but for 15-20 minutes.
- After this time, rinse with plenty of water.
