Owners of naturally curly hair have a hard time. Their curls are initially prone to excessive dryness and damage, often look excessively fluffy and not very neat. But modern care procedures allow to cope with such problems and to get strands that are filled with moisture and vitality. Most often trichologists and hairdressers recommend keratin straightening and Botox for wavy curls. Let's try to understand the difference between these procedures for curly hair and what their advantages are.
What is botox for curly hair?
Botox on curly hair is a popular procedure that has nothing to do with Botox injections to eliminate wrinkles. It has a complex nourishing effect, saturating the hair with beneficial plant extracts, oils, minerals and vitamins. There are several options for Botox, and the effect of such a procedure for curly hair can vary:
- Hot Botox. Implies the use of a curling iron. Gives an effect that visually resembles the result of lamination. Thanks to such a procedure, curls are slightly smoothed, become more disciplined and structured. The strands lose excessive porosity, cease to break and frizz, and tendrils stick together. Perfect for girls who want beautiful clear smooth curls that are easy to care for.
- Botox with Straightening. Helps smooth out soft curls, makes hair more moisturized, written with nutrients.
- Botox without straightening. This treatment adds moisture and nourishment to the strands. Hair becomes softer to the touch, gets an attractive shine and is further strengthened.
- Cold Botox. This procedure is designed for damaged hair and is carried out without a hair dryer. Cold botox for curly hair restores the natural structure of the hair shaft, helping to restore hair's natural density, add resilience and stamina.
The main feature of Botox for hair is that the purpose of this procedure is to deeply nourish, restore and regenerate strands. It can make curls less pronounced or straighten weak curls, but it cannot completely straighten the hair. Only keratin can cope with such a task.
What is keratin for curly hair?
Keratin or keratin straightening is a procedure designed for girls who dream to get rid of curls and want perfectly flat, smooth, heavy hair. It uses special products that are rich in keratin, a natural protein found in the structure of the hair. Curly hair contains an uneven amount of keratin along its entire length, and when a special keratin mixture is applied, the keratin is sealed inside the hair shaft, which helps to straighten it. The structure of the strands is not changed.
During keratin straightening hair also receives an additional boost of vitamins, minerals, useful plant extracts and oils, which affects its overall condition.
Keratin on curly hair makes the strands:
- smooth;
- shiny;
- heavy;
- uniform in thickness;
- well-groomed;
- firm.
After this procedure, there is no need to use a curling iron. Hair does not need to be styled - it always looks perfect. Also, strands receive additional protection from aggressive environmental factors.
What to choose Botox or Keratin for curly hair
Both Botox and keratin straightening of curly hair improve the aesthetic appearance of the strands and also help to restore them from the inside. But keratin is considered a more aggressive procedure, as it implies using a mixture with a heavier chemical composition, and also requires mandatory treatment of strands with a flat iron. Only keratin can be guaranteed to straighten curls of varying degrees of elasticity - manufacturers offer products designed for both tight African curl and soft wave. Everyone can choose an option for themselves, taking into account the needs of the hair and the expected result.
Botox will be the preferred option for restoring severely damaged strands. It will saturate hair with moisture and useful substances, add structure and vitality.
In this case, both the procedure should be performed in the salon. There are kits for home botox and keratin restoration, but on their own it is difficult to observe all the subtleties of the procedure, namely:
- rinse every inch of hair thoroughly before the procedure;
- distribute the product evenly over the strands;
- rinse the strands thoroughly from product residue;
- dry the hair at the desired temperature;
- use a flat iron (if necessary) to evenly heat the strands along the entire length.
In the matter of conducting Botox and keratin for hair, every detail is important. This is why the procedures performed at home are often disappointing and do not give the expected result. It is better to trust an experienced master.
