Most of us associate the word Botox with injections at the cosmetologist. However, when it comes to hair care, such a procedure has nothing to do with injections. And the common name is due to the instant and long-lasting results that both procedures give. Botox hair promotes deep rejuvenation and restoration of the very structure of the strands, it also gives an excellent cosmetic effect. And for very damaged curls often advise cold Botox. Let's consider the features of this procedure in more detail.
Cold Botox: what is the essence of the procedure?
The term cold Botox is used to denote a gentle care procedure aimed at healing and regeneration of the cuticular layer of the hair shaft. The main feature of this effect is the refusal to use a hot iron, respectively, cold botox does not harm even very traumatized strands. In addition, the lack of need for evaporation of the composition allows you to reduce the duration of the procedure. And due to the ease of cold Botox, girls can safely try to conduct it at home, by their own efforts.
The active components of cold botox are selected in such a way as to penetrate as deeply into the hair structure as possible. The procedure has an intensive restorative effect. This is due primarily to the scrupulously selected composition. Means for cold botox can contain a variety of nutrients, among which:
- vitamins, including A, E and B vitamins;
- minerals, in particular zinc and iron;
- nourishing and revitalizing plant extracts;
- hyaluronic acid, which provides intense and long-lasting moisturization;
- amino acids that restore the structure of the strands;
- collagen and keratin proteins that can fill voids and defects in the hair shaft, smoothing and improving its structure.
The application of such a mixture on the hair give a rapid therapeutic effect. As a consequence of this procedure occurs:
- elimination of excessive porosity and frizz;
- nourishment and strengthening of hair along its entire length;
- elimination of brittleness and split ends;
- deep moisturizing;
- increase of the strands' manageability;
- thickening of the structure;
- return of healthy shine, flexibility and elasticity.
After the procedure, hair is softened, becomes pleasant to the touch and silky. The product helps to protect them from environmental factors, so the strands remain attractive for a long time.
How to perform cold Botox: step-by-step process
Despite the fact that the procedure can be performed at home, in order to obtain an excellent effect, it is worth adhering to the step-by-step algorithm of actions:
- The first thing to do is to clean the strands. And for this, an ordinary shampoo is not suitable, you need to use a deep cleanser. It eliminates absolutely all impurities: particles of skin fat, residues of styling products, etc. After using such a shampoo opens the cuticular layer of hair, so that the active components of Botox can easily penetrate into its structure. Washing with deep cleansing shampoo is carried out 1-3 times depending on the structure of your strands. If your strands are dense and natural or heavily soiled due to frequent use of styling products, it is better to wash them three times. And thin weakened hair will be enough and one application.
- Next, the strands need to prepare for the procedure. To do this, just blot them well with a soft towel to eliminate excess moisture, and then dry them with a hair dryer partially or completely (taking into account the recommendations of a particular manufacturer).
- Now comes the most responsible stage: the application of Botox. In order for the remedy to completely soak all the strands, it is important to initially divide the entire hair into parts. Start applying Botox from the occipital area, then move gradually forward. Do not forget to back off a little from the root. After the product will be distributed on the strands, you can comb them with a frequent comb - for even application of Botox.
- The next stage of the revitalizing procedure is soaking. The product should be kept on the curls for the time specified on the package. Sometimes for better absorption, masters use a thermo hat, but at home there is no need for such experiments.
- After that, the composition should be completely washed from the hair. Then the strands are blotted with a soft towel, dried with a hair dryer or let them dry naturally (if we are talking about carrying out the procedure at home).
Cold Botox is a fairly simple procedure. Unlike the hot version of such exposure, even if the remedy is distributed unevenly over the curls, this will not affect their appearance and condition.
Cold Botox: duration of the effect
Cold Botox is kept on the strands for about one month. However, the effect of such a procedure is cumulative in nature. In other words, with each time the result looks more pronounced, and its duration lasts longer. And to further prolong the effect, it is necessary to provide the right comprehensive care for curls, including regular use:
- sulfate-free shampoo;
- conditioner or balm;
- nourishing mask;
- thermal protection;
- indelible products for moisturizing and nourishing.
