Does hair botox work on damaged hair?
Hair botox is aimed at hair that is frizzy, tangled, dull or damaged, so it is the one to ask about for that job; the specialist still checks the hair first.
When hair is too damaged for heat treatments, a repair step such as cold hair recovery or hair reconstruction can come before keratin or hair botox.
How do I choose between them?
The consultation is $0 and takes 20 min: a specialist looks at your hair and scalp, picks the treatment and gives you a quote.
Bring a photo of the hair you want and tell the specialist about any past chemical treatments. The consultation is also where thickness is assessed, which decides the final price.
