How to apply?
Instructions for use of the Beautex Estel Haute Couture complex are simple.
Before proceeding with hair restoration, they must be prepared after washing with Renovation shampoo. The product is applied to curls and foams. But the foam does not need to be washed off immediately, but kept on the hair for 3 to 5 minutes. During this time, the active substances of the shampoo will cleanse the curls and open the scales. Then the product is thoroughly washed off with warm water.
When washing the head, no additional care or conditioning agents are used, otherwise the serum may not get into the structure of the hair and give no effect.
Before applying serum, the hair must be dried with a hairdryer without using combs. It will optimally leave the curls slightly damp.
Clinic Elixir is applied using protective gloves. For convenience, hair can be divided into zones, but this is not necessary. Serum is applied indented from the roots by about half a centimeter to small strands. It is important that the product covers the curls well, as ironing will follow. Lack of serum can lead to thermal burns.
The treated hair is wrapped with a film and left Clinic to act for 40-50 minutes. Time can be reduced to 20-30 minutes if you use sushuar or climazone at a temperature of 40-50 ° C. After the exposure time, the curls are dried with a hairdryer until dry.
You cannot leave them wet.
The next stage of the procedure is the soldering of serum into the hair. To do this, all curls are machined in a row with an iron. It is important to do everything carefully and choose the right temperature regime depending on the type and condition of the hair:
- for thin and weakened hair, as well as for blondes - 180 ° C;
- for normal and (or) colored hair - 210 ° C;
- for stiff and (or) natural, unpainted hair - 230 ° C.
The strands are taken no thicker than 0.5 cm and no wider than 5 cm. Curls are processed slowly, several times, from the roots to the ends. You can’t hold the iron for a long time on strands. This is the most time-consuming part of the entire procedure.
When the hair is processed, you can proceed to the final stage - applying the Hidrolipid mask. Before that, curls after ironing should be washed again using Renovation shampoo. He will wash off the remnants of serum that has not absorbed into the hairs. The mask is applied for 3-5 minutes, after which it is washed off.
The manufacturer recommends using a Newtone tinting mask if there is a need to refresh the color. You can apply it after the procedure is completed.
Aftercare Rules
At the Botox hair procedure, it doesn’t end; then simple rules are required to keep the curls pleasing with their appearance for as long as possible. Experts recommend the first 48 hours not to wash your hair, and also not to tie it in tails, pigtails, or pin it up in any way using elastic bands, hair clips, and the like. Unpleasant creases may appear on the curls, which will disappear only when the serum is washed out of the hairs.
After Botox for hair, you can not use ordinary sulfate shampoos. They will quickly wash the active substances from the curls and return them to their original state. The Beautex Estel Haute Couture series contains shampoo and balm for subsequent care, but it is completely optional to use them. You can choose any shampoo, which does not contain sulfates, and any balm for care that will nourish or moisturize the hair.
Staining before Botox should be done no later than two weeks, and after the procedure, a second one can also be done in two weeks.
After the procedure, it is better to reduce the use of curling irons or ironing. It is better not to use the hairdryer on an ongoing basis, but if it becomes necessary to dry it in a very short time. The rest of the time, it is good to let the curls dry on their own.
Reviews
Reviews of the procedure are quite contradictory and are divided approximately equally into positive and unsatisfactory.
Many users are satisfied with Botox for hair and willingly recommend it to others. Curls, according to such users, really become shiny and smooth, as the manufacturer claims. They are less confused and fuzzy and look healthy and refreshed. The effect lasts an average of two months.
In some reviews, those who underwent a Botox hair treatment claim that the effect promised by the manufacturer was not achieved. There was no mirror shine, split ends did not disappear, and in general the hair did not change much after Botox.
There are reviews that describe the situation when, immediately after the procedure, the effect was quite obvious. However, after the first wash, it disappeared, the structure of the curls became more porous than before Botox for hair.
