Capillary botox is a treatment that promises to nourish through proteins and amino acids, without involving chemical components. Its main objective is to replace the mass that our hair loses due to chemistry (such as progressive brush and coloring), pollution, sun, wind, among others. In addition to functioning as a mass replenisher, it also returns hydration and results in soft, shiny and frizz-free hair.
What type of hair is it suitable for?
Contrary to what the name suggests, this process has nothing to do with dermatological botox because it does not contain botulinum toxin. Or rather, the only similarity is that, like the aesthetic procedure, the function of capillary botox is to reconstruct the fibers and fill.
Since this is a treatment without formaldehyde or any chemical additive, there is no contraindication. Capillary botox can be made on all types of hair.
Of course, if yours is already nourished, hydrated and with cuticles sealed, the effects are unlikely to be visible and there is a risk of leaving the strands overloaded.
On the other hand, if your hair is showing signs of damage caused by chemical processes, curling iron, dryer or even abrasive beach effects, this may be the solution to your problems.

To make a diagnosis, analyze your hair for the following symptoms:
- Are you suffering from frizz?
- After removing the conditioner, do you notice that the texture is still rough even with wet wires?
- After drying, has it presented more volume than normal?
- Do you notice that it is more opaque and with a dry aspect?
- Choose a thread and hold it tightly with both hands. Gently pull on both sides in opposite directions, stretching it another two or three centimeters. It must be moderately elastic! If it breaks, it is a sign that the hair is brittle. If it is too elastic, you need keratin.
If your hair is showing two or more of the above symptoms, it is a sign that it is weak, damaged and in urgent need of care.

How it works?
Capillary botox can help you regain hair vitality because it acts as a mass repositor, returning to the hair amino acids and proteins lost during the day.
To identify which products have amino acids and proteins, look on the packaging for ingredients such as: Creatine, Cysteine, Arginine, Collagen, wheat proteins and the like.

When the hair is without structural mass, the cuticles open and cause porosity, split ends, dryness and the dreaded frizz effect. Botox’s function is to nourish this hair and then seal the cuticles, making the hair the same thickness from root to tip, which reduces split ends and allows for healthy and strong growth.
In other words, botox works as a reconstruction for hair that has mild damage. It does not heal serious problems such as chemical cutting, but restructures the fiber in order to recover the healthy aspect of the hair. Its effects can last up to three months.

Does botox smooth?
Not! This procedure can be done both in straight hair, like curly and wavy. What happens is that by sealing the cuticles, capillary botox will probably make the hair less bulky and uneven.
This effect can cause a feeling of straightening, but in reality it is only the result of a well hydrated hair. If your hair is curly, immediately after botox try using less dense rinsing creams. That way you avoid that heavy appearance.
