Keratin and Hair Botox: Understanding the Differences

Two treatment families often confused, with distinct objectives and protocols. Factual explanation, without medical claims.

Two different objectives

Keratin-type treatments mainly target discipline and smoothing of the fiber, while so-called 'hair botox' treatments primarily seek a reconstruction and apparent density effect. Neither is a medical act.

Variable compositions by manufacturer

Formulas differ greatly from one brand to another. The manufacturer's labeling and safety data sheet remain the only reliable source, and no absence of substance can be presumed.

Consultation and contraindications

A prior diagnostic, checking contraindications, and informing the client are an integral part of the service.

Working conditions and protection

Ventilation of the space, protective equipment, and respect for the thermal protocol indicated by the manufacturer are essential.

Maintenance and realistic expectations

The duration of the effect varies according to the fiber, the frequency of washes, and the products used at home. Announcing it clearly avoids disappointments.
