Hair Botox
Despite the name, Hair Botox does not contain botulinum toxin (the substance used in cosmetic Botox).
Instead, it’s a deep conditioning and restorative treatment that targets damaged, dry, or frizzy hair by filling in broken or thinning areas along the hair shaft.
It’s called “Botox” because — like facial Botox smooths wrinkles — this treatment smooths and rejuvenates hair fibers, making them look shiny, healthy, and youthful.
What’s in Hair Botox?
Formulas vary by brand, but high-quality Hair Botox products usually contain:
Hydrolyzed keratin and collagen – rebuilds and strengthens hair fibers.
Amino acids – repair structural damage.
Vitamins (B5, E, etc.) – nourish scalp and strands.
Hyaluronic acid – deeply hydrates.
Natural oils and plant extracts – restore shine and smoothness.
It is formaldehyde-free, making it safer and gentler than many keratin treatments.
How Long Does It Last?
Usually 2–4 months, depending on your hair type, lifestyle, and aftercare.
With proper maintenance (sulfate-free shampoo, less heat styling, fewer washes), it can last even longer.
Possible Drawbacks / Considerations
Results are temporary, so it requires reapplication every few months.
If overused, it might weigh down fine hair.
Some brands may exaggerate “straightening” effects — Hair Botox mainly smooths and repairs, not fully straightens.
