Shampoos after Botox for hair: types and features

Botox hair treatment is one of the fastest modern ways to restore healthy shine and smoothness to curls. The healing cocktail revives even the most hopeless strands. To ensure that the effect remains for a long time, it is important to properly care for hair after Botox.

For some time, you will have to abandon staining and minimize the use of thermal iron, a hot dryer and tongs. In addition, you will need to stock up on special shampoos without the content of chemically active components. If you ignore this recommendation, the effect of treatment with a nourishing smoothing composition for hair restoration will completely disappear after a month. With proper care after applying Botox, the curls shine with a healthy glow and flow beautifully for about 3 months.

There are a lot of aggressive factors in the environment that negatively affect the hair. Hair dries out and becomes brittle from UV radiation, dust settles on it, particles of dirt. All this worsens their condition. If we add to this the damage caused during frequent laying with thermal appliances and styling tools, it becomes clear that hair needs nourishment and support.

In addition, in many shampoos that should (according to the manufacturers) improve the condition of the hair, in reality they only harm them. They are not suitable for hair after Botox, because they have the wrong composition. Especially those that contain harmful sulfates.

No need to refine yourself by creating natural shampoos yourself. Mixtures of eggs and herbs are not stored for a long time, and their preparation takes time and effort.In addition, now there is such a huge selection of shampoos with a delicate composition. This, of course, is not natural kefir and chamomile broth, but sulfates and other components harmful to the hair are absent there.

To choose a quality, sulfate-free, mild treatment Beauticians advise to observe the following rules.

• Do not purchase detergent with silicone. This substance only creates the illusion of hydration, forming a film on the hair. In fact, the hair becomes heavier, which harms the state of the follicles.
• Do not experiment with the means of little-known brands. Spontaneous purchase of an untested mass product may be derived from low-grade raw materials. Before making a purchase, it is important to study the composition of the detergent. It should not contain dyes, all kinds of preservatives and sulfates.
• You need to choose a shampoo by type of hair.

Sulfates (salts of sulfuric acid) are included in the composition of conventional shampoos as blowing agents. These substances are aggressive surfactants and wash off the protective hydrolipidic layer from the hair. As a result, dry scalp appears, under it microcirculation of the blood is disrupted, which leads to hair loss. Manufacturers like to use such a trick - the louder the foam, the better the hair is washed. But this is not true. Foam is unable to remove dirt, but only creates the appearance of cleansing. Other components remove dirt.

Sulfates contained in shampoos can be found in liquids for washing dishes and car washing. Chemical components adversely affect the hair after treatment with Botox. The following components are considered the most aggressive.

• Ammonium laureth sulfate. Irritating to the scalp.
• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. It has an aggressive effect on the skin and hair structure.
• Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate. The most dangerous element that destroys botulinum toxin protein and enhances dryness and subsequent fragility of hair.

Sulfates have the following "abilities" not to the benefit of healthy hair:

• provoke allergic manifestations;
• dehydrate the skin on the head;
• destructive effect on the epidermis and hair follicles;
• thin the curls.

With regular use of sulfate products for washing hair, you will need repeated frequent Botox courses, or even consultations of a trichologist and a dermatologist. And then follows a long hair treatment and the resumption of normal skin condition. Such shampoos neutralize the effect of Botox instantly. Just one wash - and the curls noticeably lose their luster and smoothness. Using these tools is not just not advisable, but also harmful.

When switching to sulfate-free shampoo, changes in the positive direction will not take long: hair will accelerate growth and become more elastic, dandruff and itching will disappear.

Sulfate-free shampoos do not wash off beneficial substances with foam, which is why collagen and a vitamin shake are stored longer in the hair structure. Some consumers mistakenly believe that sulfate-free products do not have enough foam to wash away dirt. In fact, as already mentioned, Foam is almost not involved in the removal of dust, grease and dirt from the hair. After the Botox procedure, you need to wash your hair with sulfate-free products with a certain acidity. Ideally - 4-5 pH.

If you use shampoos without the above components, a positive result from Botox on your hair will be obvious: they will stop breaking, dandruff and itching will remain in the past, and the growth rate of hair will accelerate. Sulfate-free shampoo carefully treats the hair without affecting their structure. It does not flush nutrients, and all the vitamins and collagen that Botox contains remain inside the hair.

Organic cosmetics for healthy hair strength are rich in natural extracts from coconut oil and glucose - Lauret sulfosuccinate, Lauril glucoside, Cocoglucoside. Therefore, such detergents perfectly manage to cope with various contaminants. Natural cosmetics for washing hair perfectly cleans strands without changing their structure and without harming the scalp.

Disadvantages of shampoos without harmful sulfates are still there. Let them be few, but it will be useful to know the reverse side of the coin:

• natural ingredients can cause severe allergies;
• when washing a little foam is formed;
• funds less economical due to their liquid consistency;
• often you have to wash your hair repeatedly (especially after styling products);
• do not relieve dandruff;
• high cost with a small amount.

Having found out which shampoo will be the most suitable for hair care after applying Botox to them, it remains to decide on general recommendations. After the Botox application procedure, you can wash your hair in 2-3 days. This time is enough for most useful substances to penetrate the curls. You need to wash your hair with water up to 40-45 C. High temperature will accelerate the washing out of the hair of all those vitamins and minerals that are contained in Botox.

The first 1.5-2 weeks after the completion of the care procedure, the hair should not be subjected to excessive mechanical stress. It is important to comb the strands extremely carefully, preventing tangling. It is not recommended to use additionally any strengthening formulations. After Botox, the strands are already enriched with all the necessary substances.

Taboo is imposed on high temperatures during installation, on any thermal effect such as curling or ironing. Temporarily have to reduce the contact of hair with external factors of the atmosphere of destructive effects. In particular, do not expose them to heat from ultraviolet radiation. On the street, be sure to cover your head with seasonal clothing. At home, frequent wet cleaning is required to minimize dust. Its settling on the hair immediately after the Botox procedure will have a bad effect on the hair.

How long the result will remain, also depends on the regimen and nutritional quality of the woman. For an attractive look of curls, it is worth removing fried and very fatty foods from the diet. It is recommended to introduce natural and dairy products, berries, fruits and cereals into the menu. In principle, it is advisable to organize such nutrition on an ongoing basis, regardless of whether Botox was made or not.

The head needs to be washed sulfate-free shampoo, focusing on all the above recommendations. Thus, the effect of smooth hair will last longer and even after the product is washed, the hair will look more attractive and healthier than before. With such a gentle detergent, it is advisable to wash your hair without treatment with all kinds of agents such as Botox or keratin. Otherwise, ordinary sulfate shampoo will dry the curls sooner or later, changing their structure for the worse.

Sulphates are especially detrimental to dry hair by nature. They become brittle and delaminated very quickly. Sulfates can also lead to the appearance of copious dandruff, since they aggressively act not only on strands, but also on the scalp. The upper layer is dehydrated and depleted, dryness and irritation, itching appear. Hair follicles are gradually destroyed, the dermis cells die, allergic reactions appear.
