How Do You Maintain Hair Botox?
Hair botox is a popular treatment that smooths, strengthens, and revives dry or damaged hair. If you recently had a hair botox treatment, you might be wondering how to make the results last as long as possible. At Sarasota Balayage, we want you to enjoy your silky, frizz-free hair for weeks after your appointment.
Here’s everything you need to know to maintain your hair botox and keep your hair looking its best.
1. Use a Sulfate-Free Shampoo
Sulfates are harsh detergents found in many shampoos, and they can strip the nourishing ingredients from your hair. To preserve your treatment, switch to a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. These are gentler and help your hair stay smooth and healthy longer.
Ask your stylist for product recommendations at your next visit.
2. Avoid Washing Your Hair Every Day
Washing your hair too often can shorten the life of your hair botox treatment. Try to wash your hair no more than 2 to 3 times per week. In between washes, you can use a gentle dry shampoo to keep your roots fresh.
3. Use Cold or Lukewarm Water
Hot water opens the hair cuticle, which can cause the treatment to fade faster. Try rinsing your hair with cool or lukewarm water to help seal in the smoothing ingredients and add shine.
4. Minimize Heat Styling
Your hair will already be soft, smooth, and easy to manage after hair botox. Try to limit the use of flat irons and curling wands to avoid wearing down the treatment too soon. When you do use heat tools, always apply a heat protectant spray first.
5. Protect Your Hair from the Sun and Chlorine
If you spend time in the pool or at the beach, take steps to protect your hair. Chlorine and saltwater can reduce the effects of hair botox. Use a swim cap, rinse your hair with clean water before and after swimming, and apply a leave-in conditioner for extra protection.
When outdoors for long periods, consider wearing a hat or using a UV-protective spray for your hair.
6. Deep Condition Weekly
To keep your hair hydrated and healthy, use a deep conditioning treatment once a week. This will support the effects of the hair botox and keep your strands strong, shiny, and smooth.
7. Schedule a Refresh Every 10 to 12 Weeks
Hair botox treatments typically last 8 to 12 weeks, depending on your hair type and care routine. To maintain long-term results, plan to book a refresh appointment every 2 to 3 months.
