Hair Botox treatment is gaining traction as a sought-after salon service, promising significant frizz reduction—up to 70%—and enhanced hair smoothness. Unlike chemical straightening or keratin treatments, this method uses a blend of amino acids, vitamins B5 and E, collagen, botanical oils, proteins, and ceramides. It aims to repair damaged hair fibres from within by opening the cuticle, infusing nutrients, and then sealing it with gentle heat, offering a glossy finish and improved manageability for 8 to 16 weeks.
The appeal for salon owners lies in its broad client base. It targets those with dry, frizzy, dull, or colour-damaged hair, including chemically treated and curly types, without the harsh chemicals. The treatment reconstructs hair fibres, boosting shine and softness while adding volume to thinner hair. This positions it as a restorative service, not merely a cosmetic one, differentiating it from traditional smoothing procedures.
While considered safe, the treatment produces a mild smell during application and, in rare cases, may cause temporary scalp sensitivity. The absence of formaldehyde marks a key difference from older straightening methods. For clients in India, the cost can range from ₹7,000 to ₹15,000, though a festive offer at Kapils Salon priced it at ₹5,999 plus tax for any hair length.
The long-term results, lasting between 2 to 4 months with proper aftercare, suggest an opportunity for repeat business and product sales. Aftercare recommendations include using SLS-free shampoos, avoiding washing hair for 48 hours post-treatment, minimising heat styling, and applying serum.
