Treatments using Botox and Keratin make your hair lustrous, shiny, and frizz-free. But to keep these results longer, taking care of your hair with the right post-care methods is a must. Here is a simple guide for hair care post-treatment.
1. Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo & Conditioner
Regular shampoos contain sulfates which will strip natural oils and treatments from your hair. Always choose gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and hydrating conditioner to keep your hair soft and healthy.
2. Don’t Wash Your Hair for 72 Hours
For both treatments, a minimum of 3 days before shampooing your hair is necessary for Keratin and Botox. This gives the treatment adequate time to set and to achieve optimal results.
3. Shampoo Hair Less Often
Too frequent shampooing washes the treatment out. Shampoo your hair only 2-3 times weekly for the best maintenance of slickness and shine.
4. Use Lukewarm or Cold Water
Warm water can strip the treatment off, drying the hair. Always use lukewarm or cold water to rinse your hair to maintain smoothness and moisture.
5. Restrict Use of Heat-Styling Tools
Hair-dryers, flat-irons, and curling wands are all hazardous to treated hair. Use some heat protection spray, and go for low heat settings when you do use them.
6. Use Silk or Satin Pillow Case
While cotton creates friction leading to frizz and breaking away of hair, the softer silk or satin helps retain hair smoothness and thus reduces damage while you relax.
7. No Tight Hair-Slips
After the treatment, for the first few days, avoid tight ponytails, buns, or braids that can create creases or imprints in your hair. Using a hair scrunchy instead will help, or let your hair out in all its glory.
8. Protect from Sun and Pollution
UV rays and pollution can suffocate their charm, making hair dry and lifeless. Whenever you are outside under the sun, use UV protection that can be in the form of a spray, or a scarf or a hat for treated hair.
9. Regular Touch-Ups & Deep Conditioning
Every 3-4 months, get back to the salon for a keratin or Botox refresher. Coupled with this, once a month, get a deep-conditioning treatment to keep nourishing.
10. No to Chlorine and Salt Water
Swimming pools and salt water can cause frizz and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment. Put on a swimming cap or slather in some leave-in before taking a dip.
Final Thoughts
By following these simple hair care tips, you’ll help your hair stay stylish, enduring, and healthy after keratin or Botox treatment. Take good care of your hair, and it will always be salon fresh.
