Despite its name, hair botox has little to do with the Botox used in cosmetics to reduce signs of aging. It's actually an intensive hair treatment designed to strengthen and revitalize damaged hair. But what are the real benefits of hair botox? How does it work? We'll tell you everything about this increasingly popular treatment!
What is hair botox?
Hair botox is a treatment developed to restore the health, shine, and vitality of even the most fragile hair. Unlike the botox used in cosmetic medicine, hair botox does not contain botulinum toxin and is named for its revitalizing effect! Hair botox deeply nourishes the hair fiber thanks to its ultra-hydrating and restructuring formula. Generally enriched with plant butters, hyaluronic acid, vitamins, and essential oils, this treatment penetrates the hair cuticle to repair damage caused by external aggressors. But that's not all; hair botox has many other benefits, including:
- Controls frizz
- Control the volume
- Deeply hydrates
- Intensely nourishes
- Restores hair's suppleness
- Stimulates growth
- Boosts shine
That's all! This treatment is particularly recommended for hair that seeks to improve its health and appearance while targeting various concerns such as frizz, lack of shine or vitality.
What is the difference between hair straightening and hair botox?
Hair straightening and Botox are two techniques that differ in their objectives and approaches to improving the health and appearance of hair.
Hair straightening: This is a chemical or thermal treatment designed to make hair smooth, straight, and less prone to frizz. There are several types of straightening: Brazilian, Japanese, Tahitian, or keratin. These processes involve the use of chemicals to alter the hair structure, making it straighter. While some straightening treatments are not harmful, such as our Bora Bora straightening treatment , they all involve a chemical transformation of the hair.

Hair Botox: Unlike straightening, Botox doesn't completely alter the hair's structure. It's a treatment that adds suppleness, nourishment, shine, and softness to the hair while reducing frizz and stimulating hair fiber growth. Unlike straightening, Botox slightly relaxes curls by 5 to 10% over a period of 2 to 3 months. It primarily works on suppleness, volume, and frizz, without completely altering the hair's natural structure.
The choice between these two treatments depends on the desired results. If you're aiming for perfectly straight hair for an extended period, straightening will be more suitable. On the other hand, if you prefer to return to your natural curls after a few months, or if you're looking for a solution to improve your hair's texture without a radical transformation, hair botox is for you!
Should you use hair botox when you want to enhance your curls?
Hair botox isn't a treatment designed for people who want to enhance their curls. While it doesn't completely alter the hair's structure, it does relax curls for 2 to 3 months. For those who want a curl-enhancing treatment, we recommend our 5-in-1 leave-in conditioner, specially developed to detangle, hydrate, nourish, and protect curls without weighing them down, while also acting as a shield against external aggressors (pollution, UV rays, cold weather)! You can also opt for a plant-based oil like coconut, sweet almond, or jojoba oil, which nourish and seal in moisture deep within the hair fiber.
