In front of the mirror at our hair salon in Sitges<\/a>, many clients ask us the same question: which treatment is better for my hair, hair botox or keratin?<\/em> The honest answer is: it depends on what you need. Both are high-end hair treatments, but they work in different ways and address different problems.<\/p>\n

Choosing the wrong treatment not only means an unnecessary expense \u2014 it may simply not deliver the results you’re hoping for. That’s why in this article we explain in depth the differences, the benefits, and the cases where each one truly shines. And if you’re unsure, our beauty centre in Sitges offers a personalised consultation with no obligation.<\/p>\n

What is hair botox?<\/h2>\n

Despite its name, hair botox<\/a> contains no botulinum toxin<\/strong>. The term is a metaphor: just as facial botox “fills in” wrinkles, hair botox fills the damaged spaces in the hair fibre with nutrients, proteins and hyaluronic acid.<\/p>\n

It is an intensive hydration and nourishment treatment that works from within the hair, rebuilding the internal structure and restoring elasticity, softness and shine to damaged hair. The effect lasts between 3 and 5 weeks and is especially recommended if your hair undergoes frequent colouring or bleaching at our salon.<\/p>\n

What is a keratin treatment?<\/h2>\n

\"Botox<\/p>\n

Hair keratin<\/a> is a protein that forms part of the natural structure of hair. Keratin treatments supply this protein externally to straighten, smooth and control frizz on a long-lasting basis.<\/em><\/p>\n

Unlike hair botox, professional keratin always involves the use of heat (a flat iron at high temperature) to seal in the treatment. The result is smoother, shinier and more manageable hair that can last between 3 and 6 months.<\/p>\n
