What is hair botox?
Hair botox is a salon treatment that coats and conditions the hair strand to make it softer, shinier and easier to brush; the name is borrowed from the injection, and nothing is injected.
It is applied to the hair, section by section, and sealed in. kruLA describes it as reviving shine and softness in hair that is frizzy, tangled, dull or damaged.
What is hair botox actually called?
Hair botox is a marketing name, and salons also call it a botox-style hair treatment, a hair filler treatment or a deep conditioning smoothing treatment; the product behind the name varies from brand to brand.
It is not the same thing as the cosmetic injection used on skin. Ask the specialist for the product name and its label if you want to know exactly what goes on your hair.
Does hair botox straighten hair?
No: hair botox smooths light waves and cuts frizz, but it does not straighten hair and does not flatten tight curls.
If you want straight hair, keratin or, for thick hair and tight coils, nanoplasty is the service. Hair botox vs keratin sets the two side by side.
Does hair botox remove frizz?
It reduces frizz: hair feels softer, the surface lies smoother and the hair brushes through more easily.
How much frizz goes depends on your hair and on the weather and care afterwards. Hair that is very damaged or very curly keeps more of its frizz than fine or lightly wavy hair.
Does hair botox make hair flat?
Hair botox is meant to keep natural volume, but hair can sit heavier right after the treatment because it is coated and conditioned.
The heaviness is the product, not a permanent change. If volume at the root matters to you, say so at the consultation.
Does hair botox change the texture of my hair?
It changes how the hair feels, softer and smoother, more than it changes the curl pattern.

What are the ingredients in hair botox?
The ingredients depend on the brand, so the product's label and safety data sheet are the place to read them and not one universal recipe.

What is cold hair botox?
Cold hair botox generally means a version of the treatment that is applied without a hot iron to seal it in.
The no-heat treatment on kruLA's price list is cold hair recovery: a repair treatment for dry, brittle hair that works without heat and without straightening, and is often done before heat treatments when the hair is too fragile for them.
Can I get hair botox after a keratin treatment?
Possibly, but it depends on how long ago the keratin was done and on the condition of the hair, so the specialist decides after looking at it.
Both are smoothing treatments, and the question is how much product and heat the hair has already had. Tell the specialist what you had done and when. The keratin treatment page has the details of that service.
What drives the price of hair botox?
Hair length and hair thickness set the price: at kruLA hair botox runs from $200 for shoulder length and shorter to $450 for butt length and longer, and thick hair adds $30 to $90.
Thickness is measured before the treatment, and the session takes 2 h 30 min to 3 h 30 min depending on length. Every length step is on the prices page, and the hair botox page has the booking button.
