How can you easily take care and invest more in your hair, after all you wear it every day? So which treatments to use; Hair Botox? Keratin Treatment? Expert advice is all that you need.
This month I am going to give you two easy ways to restore your hair, topping up its health and giving it shine with these two best examples of effective hair care; Keratin Hair Treatments (also known as a Brazilian Blow Dry) and Botox Hair Treatments.
What is Keratin?
Keratin is a type of protein present in many parts of our body like in our hair and nails. Formed by amino acids it represents a huge 90% of our hair. Because of this all of the products used for clients at Copa Hair Design contain Keratin, from our colours to finishing serums. Homemade hair treatments using fruit, eggs and coconut oil for example will not recover or properly treat your hair (and for sure you don’t need a mixed salad on your head!) The level of protein required is missing so you won’t make any impact on improving your hair health that isn’t just a superficial, short term enhancement. Products designed by expert hair labs are the best option as they have the right amount of ingredients necessary for every hair type. Our Keratin is made in Brazil and is infused with Argan Oil, Amino Acids, and Provitamin B5.
When do you need Keratin?
Signs when your hair is low in Keratin and needs replenished are:
- Hair dryness
- Hair brittleness with split ends
- Dull hair with lack of shine
- After hair colouring, extending the colour and vibrancy
How Keratin is used to treat your hair
- Deep-cleansing shampoo is applied to eliminate residual chemicals, pollution and dirt, preparing your hair to absorb the treatment.
- The Keratin is applied and carefully worked into your hair.
- Your hair is then blow dried to seal the cuticle, and is further sealed using straighteners to thermally activate the Keratin.
Why use Keratin?
Keratin is one of the most popular and useful hair treatments designed to recover your hair and is ideal for any type of hair damage. It recovers your hair 100% by boosting the Keratin within your hair, recovering all of your cuticles. These cuticles are the micro elements of the exterior layer of your hair strand. This recovery gives a beautiful, shiny mirror effect for your hair, eliminating dryness. This will reduce frizz and give more control of your hair. Made with vegan ingredients it is ideal for anyone or any type of hair without any contraindications.
Shine – Keratin seals the cuticles of your hair and reflects light with more intensity. This gives more life to any type of colour.
Softness – Your hair health improves for weeks and you can really feel this restoring effect in the softness of your hair.
Anti-Frizz – Control frizz by shielding your hair against the climate, humidity, heat, cold and rain as well as those frequent Northern Irish Heat Waves.
Volume – Often hair can have excess volume and needs controlled. When acting on the hair fibre and smoothening it, this volume decreases and in some cases can reduce 90% of rebel hair so volume is focused only where you want it.
Strengthening – In some cases Keratin can be used solely to strengthen your hair; to improve thickness and allow your hair to grow without needing a haircut. It’s like a medicine for hair that’s been left unhealthy from bleaching or damaged by harsh chemicals.
The results of a Keratin treatment last up to 3 months. However the more treatments you do, the more you build up your Keratin levels and the greater the results you get.
What is a Botox Hair Treatment?
Botox is a hair treatment that brings brightness and softness to your hair. It gives you thicker and smoother hair, reinforcing and repairing the hair fibre. This happens by sealing off the surface of your hair to protect against new aggressions.
Botox treatments provide movement and flexibility for your hair without weighing it down.
When do you need Botox?
Signs that your hair could benefit from Botox are;
- Hair thinness
- Lack of volume
- Or as a preventative treatment to protect your hair from heat and harsh chemicals
How Botox is used to treat your hair
- Starting with a collagen shampoo with an alkaline formula, your hair is cleansed to eliminate residual chemicals, pollution and dirt. It works by softening the cuticles and leaving your hair ready to absorb a supplementary dose of Botox ingredients.
- After shampoo we apply Botox, massaging it into your hair so it can work into your hair fibres.
- A blow dry finishes the treatment.
What is in our Botox Treatment?
The main ingredients in our Botox hair care at Copa Hair Design are Salicylic Acid and 24K Gold. Salicylic Acid purifies the scalp to give more volume from the roots along with gentle hydration. It deeply nourishes hair without weighing it down.
24K Gold is a liquid gold oil that has generative, nourishing, moisturising and heat protective properties. It is highly valued for its anti-oxidant effects and ability to rebuild the hair fibres.
Why use Botox?
Botox is a light treatment lasting between 2-4 weeks and is perfect for thin lifeless hair. It is also an ideal treatment after hair colouring, highlights or before your blow dry.
What hair treatment should you use?
Every single person has a different type of hair. Therefore to benefit from the best hair care you need to have a consultation with a specialist in hair treatments, like the expert team at Copa Hair Design, Armagh. Get in touch to care for your hair and enjoy the glossy smoothness of healthy, replenished hair.
