What is the difference and what is better: lamination or botox for hair? The difference is in the effect!

Do you have curly hair? They will remain so when using Botox. If you decide to laminate, then perhaps yours will straighten out. Are you the owner of thick hair? When laminating, you may lose volume as the hair becomes heavier and at the same time smoother. If you take Botox, this won't happen. It refers to deep penetration procedures and can be classified as a means of a more gentle (restorative) effect.

What does Botox contain?

The composition of Botox products can vary, but there are key components that are contained in most products:

• Elastin.
• Keratin.
• Vitamins B, A, C, E.
• Antioxidants.
• Hyaluronic acid.
• Various oils.
• Extracts of medicinal plants.

How does the procedure work?

• Degreasing is carried out. The master washes the client's hair with a special shampoo.
• Hair is dried with a towel.
• The drug is applied either to the hair or injected into the scalp.
• Then, depending on the instructions, the composition should be kept for 30 to 60 minutes. If an injection is made, then the mother’s further actions depend on the drug that is used and the instructions for it.
• Next comes heat treatment.
• After this, the composition is washed off.
• Apply the fixing agent according to the instructions.
• Final hair drying and styling.

Effect

• Hair is more manageable.
• The styling lasts longer.
• Hair has a shiny, healthy appearance.
• There is an increase in volume.
• Hair loss is reduced.
• Growth accelerates.
• The follicles become stronger.
• The ends do not split, frizz disappears (especially for curly hair).

Depending on many factors, the effect lasts from 3 to 5 months. This method has a cumulative effect.

The more often you resort to this procedure, the more noticeable and lasting the result will be.

Execution techniques

Initially, express hair restoration was exclusively a salon procedure, the price of which scared off some girls. However, over time, many companies began to produce serums for lamination, biolamination and Botox. With the expansion of the range, the cost of production has decreased. Kits have appeared for self-performing procedures at home.

To get a good result from treatment, it is still better to entrust your curls to a specialist for the first time.

We will look at how the techniques are performed by specialists and what the difference is between them.

Botox treatment

Depending on the manufacturer's brand, the procedure may have different execution algorithms. The simplest technology is to evenly distribute the serum over the strands and wait the time specified in the instructions. Next, the composition is washed off with plenty of running water and styling is done. But there are means, the use of which requires compliance with more complex rules.

The following manipulations are carried out in strict sequence:

• the hair is washed with a special shampoo for deep cleansing to remove all dirt, dust and grease; the detergent also opens the hair scales, which helps the nutritional components penetrate deep into the hair shaft;
• curls are dried with a hairdryer by 70%;
• the strands are divided into 4 parts, after which each of them is evenly treated with the composition, an indent of 1-2 cm is made from the roots;
• the serum is kept on the hair exactly as long as indicated in the manufacturer’s instructions;
• the hair is completely dried with a hairdryer, there should be no moisture left in it;
• thin strands are separated, and each of them is processed with a straightening iron at least 5-15 times, depending on the structure of the curls;
• the remaining composition is washed off with running water; you can dry your hair with a hairdryer or naturally.

Features of lamination

The technologies for applying different formulations differ from each other, as is the case with Botox. It is important to follow all the manufacturer’s recommendations so as not to harm your hair and achieve your goals.

The simplest technology consists of applying the product to the curls, letting it sit and then fixing the laminating composition using irons.

In some cases, additional heat is required for better penetration of substances deep into the hair. The technique is performed according to the following algorithm:

• the hair is washed with deep cleaning shampoo so that the laminate penetrates into the structure of the curls and is firmly established in it;
• the curls are thoroughly dried with a hairdryer; it is important to apply the composition to completely dry hair;
• the restoring solution is applied to thin strands;
• the strands are wrapped in foil and heated with an iron, or a warming cap is put on the head so that the composition has a better effect on the curls, the duration is indicated in the instructions;
• at the next stage, an oil composition and a product are applied to accelerate the penetration of components deep into the hair, and the time recommended by the manufacturer is waited;
• the solution is washed off with running water, the hair is dried with a hairdryer or naturally.

Lamination of hair

In order to preserve the color and at the same time give the hair a healthy look, maintain styling, and strengthen it, women resort to color lamination.

How it happens

1. Washing head. Before the procedure, the hair is degreased.
2. Applying moisturizing powder. This is necessary to prevent dehydration of the hair and to prevent brittleness and dry damage.
3. Then a laminating composition is applied, which contains dyes (the master mixes several different shades to get the desired result), vitamins, glycerin, biostimulants and substances that impart smoothness. Leave for 30–40 minutes. This procedure can be either hot or cold.
4. Apply a fixing balm.

The point of color lamination is that if you want not only to improve the hair structure, but also the color, then compositions containing coloring pigments will be used. At the same time, the color lasts much longer than with conventional dyeing.

Cost of funds per procedure

In order to know the costs, it is necessary to vary:

• the name of the product itself;
• length of strands.

On average, it is 1000–1500 rubles for short hair, 1600–2500 rubles for medium-length curls, 2600–3500 rubles for long strands.

Silk lamination

Silk lamination is a fairly effective and useful procedure. Silk contains a number of useful and “friendly” components for hair. And this has a beneficial effect on them.

Pros of silk:

• Able to protect and soothe the scalp.
• Fills the skin with antioxidants.
• Substances contained in silk fight aging and protect hair from the harmful effects of sunlight.

Botox Luxury Caviar dreams

BTX – Luxury Caviar dreams from the Spanish company Innovatis Hair will produce the same effect. Namely, to give hair shine, softness, and restore healthy processes in the scalp.

• Instantly restores youth to hair.
• Gives them shine and softness.
• Improves condition.
• Improves the condition of the scalp.
• Remains effective for quite a long time (up to 2 months).

The main advantage of this drug is its instant action!

The procedure affects its structure and many drugs contain active chemicals. Botox minimizes such consequences.

Results after the procedure

Regular use of Concept restorative products helps improve the overall condition of strands. Lamination with the Botox effect leads to the following results:

• restoration of the structure of damaged hairs;
• elimination of split ends;
• return of strand volume;
• moisturizes hair and prevents breakage;
• strengthening roots and preventing hair loss;
• return of healthy shine and silkiness.

Lamination has a beneficial effect not only on the strands, but also on the scalp, rejuvenating it and protecting it from irritation. The beneficial substances and vitamins obtained during the procedure continue to nourish the hair even after washing your hair. Curls become softer and more manageable, easy to comb and not tangled.

Important: lamination allows you to rehabilitate your hair in a short period of time, but the result does not last long. If the strands are too damaged and depleted, then after 1.5-2 months the treatment procedure will have to be repeated.

Hot lamination

A feature of hot lamination is injury. But don't take it dramatically. If you have fairly thick and healthy hair, then there is no reason to worry. If they are weak and damaged, then you should consult a specialist. Or you can resort to more gentle methods.

As for Botox, there are also both hot and cold options, but unlike lamination, even the hot option has a more gentle effect and does not injure.

Hot method of using Botox

This technique may vary depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations. But the principle is this:

• Wash your hair, then dry your hair with a towel.
• The composition is applied either directly to the hair, or injections are made into the scalp with a syringe.
• Then you should put a plastic cap on your head and expose it to warm air. Thus, the drug penetrates deep into the hair and is better absorbed.
• After this, the composition should be washed off.

Lamination procedure: effect and reviews

Lamination is effective when you need to protect your strands in bad weather or in the scorching sun, grow the hair shaft, straighten frizz, create a mirror shine, make curls smooth and not fluffy, remove split ends by “soldering”, make your curls heavier.

Marina, Novosibirsk:

I did lamination on my split ends a few months ago. The effect was immediately noticeable. They immediately became radiant, beautiful and luxurious. Now he is practically invisible.

Sveta, Yalta:

I did this procedure for myself in the summer and couldn’t take my eyes off my beautiful long hair. They became straight, even and shiny. Well, what else can you dream of?

Of course, after three months there seemed to be no effect, but even during this time I managed to fully enjoy the result. You didn’t need to stand with a straightener to look irresistible, you didn’t need to pour a lot of hairspray on yourself to curl your curls. You just need to comb it and you are already gorgeous!

Many people write that the strands then become lifeless and brittle. I will say that this did not happen to mine. I recommend this procedure to everyone.

Anna, Moscow:

I went to a local salon and had my hair laminated. I never complained about split ends, but I always dreamed of shiny, even and beautiful curls. That's what I received. For almost four months I was happy with my shiny and beautiful curls. Then the effect simply disappeared. After this, the ends began to split and the hair became very brittle. Only masks and vitamins saved me. If you like experimenting with your hair, do it once, but don't do it again.

Curly hair

If you wear curls or have naturally curly hair, then there are special formulations and restoration techniques. Curly hair has a special twisted structure. They are more “fluffy”, dry and brittle. Therefore, the care will be special.

First of all, you need to figure out what effect you want to get:

• Leave your hair curly (that is, the curls will be more well-groomed and moisturized).
• Or straighten your curly hair.

In the first case, Botox is better suited so as not to weigh down the hair. In the second case, you can use both lamination and Botox.

If you want to straighten curly hair, then hot lamination is what you need. Because this option is more effective.

Botox for curls

Tahe Magic Effecto Botox is a drug that has proven itself very well when working with curly hair. Since they need hydration most of all, this composition ideally performs this function. Curls:

• do not split ends;
• look well-groomed and neat;
• no straightening effect is created.

What services are there with a similar effect?

There is another popular service - keratin straightening-restoration. Its difference lies in the fact that the master, using a special straightening iron, seals the active components of the composition in the hair at high temperature. This method partly combines both of the above procedures:

• thickens and seals hair like lamination;
• nourishes and moisturizes like Botox.

Note! Keratin straightening requires repetition every 4-5 weeks, takes much longer and is more difficult, and is also suitable primarily for those with curly hair.

Exotic procedures such as glossing, glazing, screening, eluminating, cauterization - nothing more than ordinary lamination with the addition of various care products, such as extracts from bamboo or soy stems, keratin, negatively charged ions; or using high temperatures.

Lamination for fine hair

Here we should talk about the disadvantages of lamination. One of the main risks is damage and hair loss after lamination.

If the strips are weakened and damaged, the situation can worsen. In this case, the positive effect will be short-term and purely cosmetic.

Botox for fine hair

First option. The drug is from the French company Carmen Sensitive. Vanite would be a good solution. Its main features:

• Gives vitality without weighing down hair.
• Protects during daily blow drying.
• Moisturizes.
• Makes hair thicker and healthier.

The second option is Fiberceutic from the French company L'oreal. Available in ampoules. Suitable for very fine and damaged hair.

• Restores.
• Heals.
• Moisturizes.
• Protects.

In this situation, you should pay special attention to daily care after the procedure and the frequency of its repetitions. For daily care, be sure to use a mild, gentle shampoo. As for repeating the procedure, it is better to consult a specialist.

Fine hair requires special attention and if Botox or lamination procedures are performed more often than recommended, this can cause significant harm.

Concept system

Lamination using the Concept Botox effect is a restorative complex consisting of three main components - the hot cycle of the process, the cold part and the final one. Manufacturers, after the action of Keratin and Prospin included in the complex, promise:

• increase in volume;
• healthy and unsplit ends;
• moisturized and shiny curls.

Botox under the Concept program works for about a month. Constant use of the procedure restores the structure and shaft of damaged hair.

Lamination stages

1. Hot stage. Curls are restored using the drug Keratin and Prospin. Under special influence, the scales are opened, and this makes it possible for the composition to penetrate for their further restoration. The product is applied along the entire length, departing 2 cm from the roots. After which a cap is put on for a hot effect. Experts recommend additional heating with a hairdryer for 5-10 minutes to enhance concentration.
2. Cold step. After the first exposure, the hair is washed off with water. The next stage is a restorative and astringent effect for 15-20 minutes. You will feel a pleasant chill, during which the scales close and the hair structure smoothes out.
3. The final stage. Apply moisturizer to the strands after coloring.

If you wear a haircut

And if you want to do lamination, no problem. But you should take into account the condition and type of your hair, and you should only trust experienced hairdressers. Haircut requires constant updating. Therefore, you may have to cut your laminated hair. And this is not very good. Since during lamination the tip of the hair is sealed and this prevents delamination and splitting.

Lamination is performed after the haircut, and not vice versa.

Botox for short hair

If you have a haircut, Botox can be used in the same way as with long hair. Fiberceutic from Loreal - ideal for short hair. Intra-silane is the active ingredient. Initially it is liquid, but after application it turns into a solid state.

Wherein:

• The hair structure is strengthened as much as possible, which helps maintain styling.
• The hair is at the same time quite flexible and at the same time durable and strong.
• They are obedient.
• The color becomes more vibrant.
• The roots are strengthened.
• Protect the ends.

It is the tips that are affected by the effects of the environment and adverse factors.

Lamination partially or completely solves this problem. In addition, there is a procedure called “end sealing”.

This is true for both haircuts and long hair. The point here is that a certain composition (most often protein) is applied not to the entire length, but to the ends of the hair and then moved by heat. This procedure is always hot.

If you combine sealing of ends with other wellness programs, the result will pleasantly surprise you.

Which is better to choose?

Since these procedures have completely different effects , before choosing which is better, it is recommended to visit a trichologist. He will be able to professionally assess the condition of the curls and recommend a more suitable method. You should also take into account the side effects that are inherent in these methods.

These care methods return your hair to its beauty and well-groomed appearance. But at the same time, Botox has a healing effect, while lamination simply straightens them temporarily and creates protection.

Therefore, when choosing one or another procedure, you should proceed from the condition of the hair and what result you want to get. The future health of the curls will depend on the decision made.

Hair extensions

When extensions are made, the strands (tresses) are already in a processed state. High-quality tresses are made from natural hair and have an aesthetic appearance. Since the hair is natural, it can be subjected to various types of processing, including lamination. It should be said that this procedure is rarely resorted to.

• Firstly, because it is much more profitable to laminate your own hair, and only after that extensions.
• Secondly, because the tresses themselves do not require such a procedure.
• Thirdly, because extension presupposes subsequent correction, and this is a separate topic.

Each procedure has its positive and negative sides. Those who use Concept lamination highlight the positive qualities of the product:
