Botox or keratin for hair: Amit Thakur deciphered hair treatments
Amita posted the video on Instagram with the caption: “I recently did an AMA and this was the most asked question. Watch the video to know what I think.” The clip begins with the stylist I wonder how often people get Botox and Keratin treatments done at the salon and if these procedures improve the health of the hair. This is a question that many of us who undergo these treatments have asked ourselves.
What are Botox Hair and Keratin treatments?
Amit then explained what these treatments are and what their purpose is for hair. Talking about Botox for hair“Hair Botox is actually a deep conditioning treatment that contains proteins, vitamins and antioxidants. This coats the outer layer of the hair strands and seals in these nutrients. This is a temporary solution, about 2 to 4 months,” she said.
For Keratin hair treatmentAmit revealed, “When we talk about keratin, it is actually a protein that is naturally present in the hair. But in this treatment, there are certain chemicals like formaldehyde, which is banned in many countries because it is carcinogenic and can cause cancer.”
Why will you never recommend the treatments to your client?
In the end, Amit said that due to the nature of these treatments, he never recommends them to his clients. He explained, “Although hair botox is gentler on the hair, both treatments involve the use of heat to seal nutrients into the hair. Whenever excessive heat is used, it changes the structure of the proteins that are present in the hair.”
She added, “That’s why, in the short term, these treatments will give you what you really want to see – frizz-free or straight hair, that’s what they’ll give you. But in the long term, because it becomes a vicious cycle that you keep doing every few months, you can end up having more damaged hair than you had in the beginning. I don’t recommend any of these treatments to my clients mainly for two reasons: one, I’m a natural hair texture person and two, I encourage my clients to improve the health of their hair in the long term.”
After hearing the hairdresser’s comments, will you ever get these treatments done?
