How to care for hair after Botox?

Every day, rejuvenation and anti-health technologies go forward. Different methods are invented, new means are invented, and all this in order to preserve youth, beauty and charm. For a girl, hair plays a very important role in determining her attractiveness. Lush, healthy and shiny curls will add volume to any hairstyle, add youth and help hide face and body imperfections.

Even the priestesses in ancient Egypt devoted a great deal of time to hair care. They made masks and shampoos from various natural components. Protected hair from cold and temperature changes.

Today, using the tremendous opportunities that science gives us about the structure, nutrition, and hair growth, the latest care products are being developed. Keratin, protein - all these are currently popular procedures for improving the quality of hair and maintaining their healthy appearance. The latest successful developments include Botox. This tool can be applied both to the hair itself, and rubbed into the skin of the head.

The process that is carried out at home and the one that is carried out by a professional hairdresser or cosmetologist differs both in effect and in the procedure itself.

• At home, the composition is applied to the hair and warms up. Some manufacturing companies indicated that the composition is applied 1-2 cm away from the roots, others write that the composition is distributed from the roots to the ends. After that, the hair is combed. They put on a special hat and heat the composition applied to the hair for 10-15 minutes, the head should be in the hat. When exposed to temperature, active substances penetrate the hair, envelop them and seal. Next, the product is washed off with water, while shampoo is not used.

• In hairdressing, the procedure is a little different. Botoxulin is applied to the hair and with the help of an iron is sealed in the hair structure. After this, the hair should cool, then they are washed with a special mild agent.

• At the beautician the introduction of active substances into the skin of the head occurs. This is the most powerful procedure in its impact.

The structure of this noble “cocktail of beauty” includes amino acids, keratin, hyaluronic acid, extracts and oils from plants. Hyaluronic acid moisturizes the hair and retains water in it, oils actively nourish and strengthen. However, the main component is botulinum toxin. Its anti-aging effect has long been known in cosmetology. Its use in the fight for strong and healthy hair began relatively recently.

Thanks to the active ingredients, botulinum toxin penetrates both deep into the hair shaft and into the root, making it elastic, whole and smooth. It forms, as it were, inside the hair and on the outside, an elastic and elastic shell that thickens, protects and makes the hair shiny. Thus, the strands can be protected from the environment, the effects of chemical and harmful substances. A process resembling conservation occurs. Many women who have once tried this drug and felt the result of its effects come for it again and again.

Hairdressers claim that the effect after this procedure will last from 3 to 6 months. It all depends on how weak the hair was, whether the client has the first use, dyed or natural hair, and whether he is properly caring for his hair at home after the procedure.

The hairdressers themselves are interested in having the effect please the client longer, and she came to them again. Therefore, after the procedure, they give the client detailed recommendations for care. So they recommend after applying Botox do not wash your hair for 3-4 days. During this time, chemical reactions occur in the hair structure and root and it is highly undesirable to interrupt them.

As well as in the first days after the procedure, and throughout the period, temperature extremes and high humidity should be avoided. Fog and rain are enemies for hair that have undergone Botox treatment. You should hide your hair in a hat or hood. Going to the sea after such a procedure is also prohibited. This is a contraindication, because salt in the air will destroy the effect.

Shampooing is best done 4 days after the procedure. In beauty salons, masters immediately warn that you can wash your hair only with sulfate-free shampoos and only with cool, preferably boiled water. After washing your hair, you can use the balm of the same company as the shampoo, and from the same series.

As mentioned above, after Botox, the effects of steam and water are highly undesirable. Therefore, after washing the hair, strands are necessary gently pat dry with a towel, in no case rub, and immediately dry with a hairdryer. Use warm or cold air - you decide.

When exposed to moisture, the hair flakes open and become susceptible to external conditions. That is why you should use a hairdryer and avoid moisture outdoors and indoors. It is clear that after the Botox procedure, the sauna is contraindicated; long baths and showers, especially with hot water, too.

The use of chemical styling products will also adversely affect the structure of the strands. Having entered into a chemical reaction with styling products, Botox is destroyed and its effect is reduced. Flakes open and hair loses its firmness and elasticity, its luster.

It is no secret that when filling with Botox, the hair becomes heavier and shinier. Therefore, with curls, straightening curls can occur, which is not always desirable. In this case, you can use irons and hair dryers, curling irons and curlers. However, not earlier than 4 days after the procedure itself. You should still be prepared for the fact that the hair will spin less, and the curly effect will remain much less. This is due to the fact that the hair has become heavier, wet and it is difficult for him to keep shape for a long time.

So, you went through this expensive repair procedure. The hairdresser gave his recommendations for maintaining the effect for a longer period. The following additional items will help to properly care for the hair of the house.

1. Wash our heads with sulfate-free shampoos, use balm or conditioner of the same company and series. It is recommended to wash your hair no more than 1-2 times a week. Apply shampoo to the head twice. The first is to wash off the fat, the second is to clean from dirt and dust.
2. We use cool water for washing.
3. We do not walk with wet hair for a long time: in the next 5 minutes after washing, we dab the hair with a towel and blow dry.
4. Do not comb wet hair. First, blow dry to close the scales, and then comb.
5. We comb the hair in a gentle way, that is, from the tips to the roots. We begin to comb from the bottom and gradually rise up.
6. It is advisable to use compositions for easy combing of hair based on natural oils. They will nourish and fill the hair with oil, which will extend the duration of Botox. Oils are best used only at least a week after the procedure.
7. Minimize and possibly remove styling products from use. Irons and hair dryers can be used further.
8. If you dye your hair, then it would be more advisable to do this a few days before Botox hair restoration. And after that, do not dye your hair until the next procedure. Like any other chemistry, paint destroys hair and the substance with which it is filled.
9. If you decide to use tinting shampoos, remember that they have a weaker effect compared to paints. They can color hair sometimes unevenly, and also significantly reduce the effect of "sealed" hair.
10. Do strengthening and nourishing hair masks 1-2 times a week, add oils to them. They will help to care for such hair. Argan, almond, coconut, jojoba oil - these are all recommended for frequent use. It can be used in its pure form: as a compress at night before washing your hair or as part of masks - for 1-1.5 hours.
11. Initially, with dry and thin hair, even with all the recommendations, the result can last 2-3 weeks. However, as subsequent procedures are carried out, a cumulative effect will be created and the action of Botox will last longer each time.

If something went wrong with you and you want to clear the Botox strands, you should be guided by the following recommendations.

In cosmetic stores (far from all) they sell deep cleansing shampoos. They are more caustic and wash away the remnants of paint, chemistry, chemical styling products, provided they are used frequently and in large volumes. Most often, such shampoos can be bought in professional stores.

They perfectly wash their hair, clean it, but at the same time they dry and damage it a lot. Their use is recommended in the case of Botox when, despite the recommendations, the hair was in a humid environment for a long time, dyed or subjected to other undesirable effects. As a result, the active substances no longer act, since their chemical formula is inactive, and they only make strands heavier, making them fat and unhealthy. At the same time, we are no longer talking about any therapeutic effect.

After applying cleansing shampoos it is best to take advantage of special reducing compounds with proteins and amino acids, hylauron. It is especially active to use oils at home. These can be medical formulations of both Russian production, for example, Agafia Recipes, and our closest neighbors - Belarus. It’s not without reason that their cosmetics have gained immense popularity with us due to the combination of price and quality.

If we talk about European manufacturers, it could be Kopous, Loreal, Matrix or Estel. It is they that will help, with regular use for a month and a half, restore their healthy appearance and shine to the hair.
