Luxurious, well-groomed hair, after which not only men but also women look back - perhaps any girl dreams of this. Fortunately, even if by nature the hair does not look as it would be desirable, in modern beauty salons there is a wide range of procedures, thanks to which the desired can easily be turned into reality. The most popular procedures in recent years include: Botox, keratin straightening, nanoplastics.
Description of procedures
Botox procedure for hair should be attributed to therapeutic methods of exposure. Many professionals especially recommend it to blondes, because they know firsthand what dryness and brittle hair are after bleaching and lightening. This procedure impregnates each hair with beneficial substances from the outside. Bulbs and cuticles of each hair are processed. Experts say that after this procedure, the hair begins to grow actively and become stronger.
Indeed, unlike keratin straightening, Botox procedure is aimed at healing and hair restoration. The active ingredients contain vitamins and minerals in combination with plant extracts, amino acids and collagen.
It is worth noting that the fact that Botox is an accumulative procedure, and the result can not be noticed right away.
Keratin hair straightening is a cosmetic procedure. It is an ideal procedure for dry, damaged and brittle hair. The composition contains formaldehyde. A very strong substance that has the property of accumulation, so keratin straightening should not be done very often, unlike nanoplastics.
Nanoplasty is one of the types of keratin straightening, which can be attributed to more gentle procedures. The method is quite new, but has already gained sufficient popularity among stylists and hairdressers. Unlike keratin straightening, nanoplasty is not performed on very damaged hair for the reason that the effect does not last long. Manufacturers claim that no harmful substances in the composition.
