I got ‘hair Botox’ to get rid of my frizz – it smoothed out my strands and made them so shiny, the results are amazing
YOU can fight fine lines with Botox — and as one beauty influencer tells it, you can fight frizz with it, too.
Her “hair Botox” may not be the same injectable people use to erase wrinkles, but it certainly smoothed out her mane.
Sophie (@sophie.richardd) shared the salon trip in a video with over 100,000 TikTok followers.
She explained that she got hair Botox in preparation for her trip to Bali.
“You’re probably thinking, what the hell is hair Botox? And it’s basically exactly what it sounds like,” she said.
“It’s smoothing, defrizzing, and it just gives it so much shine.”
There’s no actual Botox involved — or any injectible, for that matter.
First, Sophie grabbed shots of her hair to reveal the dramatic difference the treatment had on her strands.
On top of the huge change in her hair’s look and feel, she also was relieved to not have to worry about blow-drying or styling her hair while on her trip.
Sophie explained that the treatment was fairly simple, with just an hour of waiting.
First, a stylist applied a Brazilian keratin product that soaked into her scalp and then a rinse finished the job.
“Look at that shine, it is crazy, it’s literally like what you see on Instagram,” she said.
According to Vogue, “hair Botox” is a great way to improve the look of dry, damaged hair.
“Hair Botox is a term for a hair treatment that conditions and coats hair with fillers like keratin and collagen to repair damaged and broken hair fibers,” board-certified dermatologist Dr. Michelle Henry told the outlet.
“This can help make your hair look healthier and thicker while also providing strength and protection from future damage.”
However, Vogue’s experts added that the treatment isn’t permanent.
People took to the comments of Sophie’s video to share their thoughts on her procedure.
Many who’ve tried it raved about the treatment, “I’ve had this and it’s the best thing ever,” said one commenter.
“I’m sorry but when it comes to hair Brazilians do it best,” said another.
