What is better for hair: botox or lamination?

The appearance of a woman to a large extent depends on the condition of her hair. Despite the fact that many girls by nature have healthy, thick, strong and beautiful curls, there are a large number of different external circumstances (in particular - ecology, poor-quality care products, poor water quality and much more) that worsen the hair condition. That is why many women have to resort to health cosmetic procedures, the most popular of which are Botox and lamination.

What are these methods of healing hair? How do they differ and which one should I choose? What is the cost of the procedures? Read more about this in our material.

Botox, by its nature, is a process of sparing cosmetic products on hair (do not confuse botox for hair with so-called beauty injections). The preparations used in this procedure are intended primarily for smoothing, strengthening and healing the hair along its entire length.

The basis of almost all cosmetic products that are used to produce a Botox procedure is Intrasilan. The microparticles of this component accumulate inside the hair shaft, thereby strengthening it. In addition to the main element, the preparations for Botox include:

• vitamin complexes - have a positive systemic effect;
• plant extracts - perform recovery function;
• essential oils - protect hair;
• keratin - fills the gaps inside the hair rods;
• amino acids - fill hair with moisture, and also promote strengthening;
• collagen - solders hairs.

In general, among the popular means for Botox emit such drugs: Grammy, Capilar, Selectiv, L'oreal, Fix Nanokeratin, Nexxt professional, Perola, Felps, Inoar, and more. others

It is important to note that today beauty salons offer 2 types of Botox procedure: cold and hot type. Both are designed to heal and strengthen hair, however, the hot botox effect is also an alignment - hair becomes straight and smooth.

Before you carry out the Botox procedure directly, you should wash your head with a special shampoo, which is included in the Botox preparation kit. After curls are dried, and in the case of hot Botox, a special serum is applied to them, which is also washed off later. Further, the hair is divided into strands.

If you chose a cold-type procedure, the master applies a serum to each strand using a special syringe, and after 40–60 minutes - a sealing agent. After that, the mask is applied and the head is washed again. If your choice fell on the hot type, then after washing your head and applying the serum, the master uses a special thermal device, a hair iron, for the procedure.

Before you start the procedure of Botox, you need to find out if you have any contraindications. So, these include:

• wounds on the scalp;
• dermatological diseases;
• neuromuscular diseases;
• It is contraindicated to make Botox to girls under 18 and women after 60 years;
• idiosyncrasy and allergies to components of preparations for botox.

In the case of at least one of these contraindications, the procedure should be abandoned.Neglect of this condition can lead to negative consequences not only for your hair, but also for your overall health.

Hair lamination is not a medical procedure. It is primarily intended to prevent further destruction of the hair and the impact on them of various negative factors. Moreover, an important feature of this procedure is the fact that lamination is able to prevent the occurrence of various negative effects both inside and outside the hair shaft, thus providing a complex effect.

Positive effects:

• moisturizing;
• soldering hair ends;
• fortification;
• color saturation (which is why lamination is recommended to dyed or bleached hair);
• natural shine;
• increase in volume;
• simplification of the procedure of combing.

There are various types of lamination:

• cold (in this procedure, the master does not use any additional tools);
• hotter (assuming the use of thermal devices);
• silk (implies hair treatment);
• colored (hair recovery is accompanied by the acquisition of a new shade);
• biological (for the implementation of the procedure, only natural products and preparations are used).

Before laminating your hair, the stylist should wash them thoroughly. After that, the hair is treated with a special tool, and a cap or cap is put on the head (a special lamp is also possible). Further, a special oil and a booster are applied to the curls, and then a regenerating agent. The next step is the use of a special lamination solution, completes the procedure of washing and drying the head.

It is important to note that the lamination procedure should be abandoned to girls whose hair is rather weak and damaged (in such a situation, first of all, it is necessary to carry out medical procedures rather than health procedures). Also, experts do not advise lamination of hair to those who have bad hair fall out, to those who have hair below the waist or tight curls.

Now that we are familiar with the nature of the most popular health treatments for hair, we need to understand the question of how Botox differs from lamination (and vice versa), what is the fundamental difference between the processes, and what are the consequences for the hair.

So, a noticeable difference can be seen in the direct result of the procedures.

• If you chose lamination, then you should expect to maintain the saturation and brightness of the color (even in the case of colored and streaked hair). In addition, your curls will be straight and smooth, will gain natural shine and volume. Another positive effect of lamination is to thicken the hair.
• Botox is more aimed at curing strands from the inside. After the procedure, the hair will become more lively, they will gain elasticity, become strong and resistant to external influences.

In addition, there are differences in the cost of salon procedures. It is this characteristic that is often decisive for many women. It is worth noting immediately that both procedures are quite expensive, especially if carried out in elite beauty salons by highly qualified specialists. So, high-quality Botox will cost you at least 2,500 rubles, and lamination can be done from 2,000 rubles. The specific price will depend not only on the length of your hair and the preparations used, but also on the price policy of your chosen beauty salon.

Of course, the choice of this or that procedure is a purely individual decision.If your goal is treatment, recovery, recovery from the inside, then you should choose Botox. If you are a happy owner of healthy hair and want only to restore them a little, and also to give them a perfect look, then you can give preference to lamination. However, it is important to remember that in fact, and in another case, you should choose only experienced and highly skilled craftsmen, as well as proven beauty salons with a good reputation. Do not save on their beauty and health.

Thus, we got acquainted with the nature and essence of the popular health treatments for your hair. Lamination and Botox differ primarily in their purpose. So, the first procedure is suitable for healthy, but inanimate and dull hair, and the second - for damaged and weakened curls. It is for this indicator that it is worth giving preference to one or another option.

If you are unsure of the condition of your hair, then contact a professional beauty salon, you can get a specialized diagnosis from a trichologist, who will tell you in detail about the condition of your hair, as well as give all the necessary recommendations and advice.

It is also important to note that despite the fact that, in theory, the lamination and Botox procedures can be performed independently at home, the masters do not recommend using this feature. The procedure, carried out by an unqualified master, can not only have a positive effect, but also greatly harm already weakened hair. Therefore, be careful and careful.
