Under the world of cosmetology, Botox is commonly understood as a means to help get rid of mimic wrinkles under the influence of neurotoxins. However, there is also the so-called Botox for the care of the appearance of hair, which has nothing to do with a neurotoxic cosmetology drug.
The hair product in question is a liquid serum enriched with vitamin-mineral complex, which improves the structure of the hair shaft, gives it a smooth and beautiful shine.
Features
The use of serum helps to achieve a visible and tangible effect immediately after application, but it is impossible to save the result obtained for a long time, so the procedure for applying the product should be done regularly.
After applying the serum, the hair strands literally transform: they become smooth, strong and soft to the touch.
The active component in the composition of any serum for Botox hair is a substance intrasilam, which penetrates deep into the hair and changes its structure.
Hair straightening and shine are obtained due to the effect of Intrasilam on natural keratin, which is located in the hair shaft.
Getting under the scales of the hair shaft, the composition of the serum remains there for quite a long time, but after washing the head, it begins to wash out more and more, and the effect of the procedure passes with time.
Specialists in the field of hairdressing art believe that in order to obtain persistent results from Botox, a series of regular procedures should be carried out to achieve its cumulative smoothing effect.
Intrasil does not have a health effect on the hair shaft, its effect is rather related to the aesthetic procedure and it is for the beauty of the hair that it is performed.
What is useful?
The application of the Botox procedure for hair is justified not only the pursuit of beauty - the benefits of it are obvious in the event that your hair has become dull, overly thick, they have damaged split ends.
The serum will help seal the hair shaft along its entire length and stop further section and injury to the tips of the hair.
The composition of the smoothing drug, in addition to vitamins and intrasilam, includes keratin, essential oils, elastins, peptides and hyaluronic acid.
When applying such an intensive product to the scalp, the drug penetrates into the hair follicle and nourishes it with nutritive components, so that the hair is not only significantly strengthened, but also grows better.
In addition, with over-dried hair, Botox helps to stop their fragility and loss due to the deep internal moisturizing of your strands.
Serum treated hair strands become not only soft but also elastic.
They are better combed, they behave more obediently when styled into a hairstyle, they do not electrify, all irregularities are smoothed visually on the hairline.
Serum helps to smooth and short young fluffy hair, which in the process of growth like to hang around the top in all directions.
The effect of the procedure can be maintained on the hair from 2 to 5 months, subject to proper subsequent care of the treated strands.
In addition, the duration of the effect also depends on the structure of the hair shaft - porous hair quickly gives up the composition during shampooing.
It has also been repeatedly observed that After the procedure, the composition is washed off from the previously painted hair faster than from natural strands.
How harmful?
In most cases, Botox for hair does not spoil the scalp and does not cause harm to health after application, however, it should be remembered that the body of each person is very individual, and the reaction to a particular chemical substance can be unpredictable.

In case of an allergy, the process of using the product is also dangerous because allergic manifestations can appear not only on the head, but also on the face, neck.
