Does your hair need botox more than your face?

Hair Botox is one of those treatments that sounds slightly gimmicky until you see what it actually does to the hair.

And no, despite the name, it is not about freezing your hair into submission or making it unnaturally straight and flat. In fact, one of the reasons it has become so popular is because it does almost the opposite.

At Edward James Salons, clients usually come in asking for Hair Botox when their hair has started to feel tired. Dry at the ends. Puffy in humidity. Slightly rough. Harder to style than it used to be. The shine has disappeared a bit. It no longer swings properly when they move. Holiday hair, essentially. Or London hair after six months of central heating, colouring, over washing, hot tools and life in general.

What makes Hair Botox different from more traditional smoothing treatments is that the focus is far more on the condition of the hair rather than removing all movement or texture from it. The goal is smoother, healthier, glossier hair that still feels like your hair, just significantly more expensive looking.

It helps soften frizz, restore moisture, improve manageability and strengthen the overall feel of the hair without creating that overly flat, poker straight finish some people associate with older keratin treatments.

There is also a reason so many people book it before summer. Hair Botox contains conditioning and UV protective properties that help shield the hair from humidity, heat and sun exposure, which makes it particularly good before a holiday. Equally, it is brilliant afterwards when the hair has become dehydrated from chlorine, sea water and too much sun.

The result is hair that feels calmer somehow. Shinier. Softer. Smoother. Easier to dry. Easier to style. Less reactive to weather. Less exhausted looking. And perhaps the best thing about it is that people often cannot tell you have had a treatment done at all. They just think your hair looks really healthy.
