Two treatments, two approaches
Hair botox is a reconstructive treatment with no permanent straightening effect: it fills the hair fiber with amino acids, hyaluronic acid, and ceramides. Straightening, on the other hand, alters the shape of the hair.
Compared composition
Botox: amino acids, collagen, vegetable oils, formaldehyde-free. Brazilian straightening: hydrolyzed keratin, thermo-activated straightening agents.
Expected result
- Botox: repaired, shiny hair, curl preserved
- Straightening: straight hair or very relaxed curl
Can they be combined?
Yes — a botox 15 days before a straightening treatment prepares and strengthens the fiber.
Average salon price
Botox: €90 to €180. Brazilian straightening: €180 to €400 depending on length.
