FAQ
Short answers about hair botox, keratin, nanoplasty and cold hair recovery.
Keratin is more focused on smoothing and straightening. Hair botox is more of a care procedure: it reduces frizz and adds smoothness, density and shine, but it does not provide the same straightening effect as keratin.
No. Hair botox is not a straightening procedure. It may slightly relax a weak wave, but its main goal is to reduce frizz and add smoothness, softness and a polished appearance.
Usually 1 to 3 months. The duration depends on the hair condition, product formula, professional technique and home care after the procedure.
Hair botox does not repair hair permanently. It nourishes, visually improves hair quality, tones and improves the appearance of hair. To maintain the result, the procedure should be repeated and supported with proper home care.
Yes, but the technique depends on the level of damage. If the hair is severely damaged, with level 4-5 damage, it is better to use hair botox only in a cold technique, without active flat-iron sealing.
Yes. Hair botox is often used as an additional care step, especially on the ends, to add a protective film and reduce the risk of overdrying during hot procedures.
Cold hair recovery is a care procedure without a flat iron or hot techniques. It helps fill the hair, improve density, softness and appearance, but it does not straighten hair.
No. Cold recovery is not designed for straightening. It works on hair quality: fullness, softness, elasticity and a well-groomed appearance.
Cold recovery is suitable for dry, damaged, porous, brittle and weakened hair. It can be used as a stand-alone SPA procedure, as a base before other procedures, or as part of complex care.
Because the procedure does not require a flat iron or hot techniques, it is considered gentler. Still, it is always important to check the exact product formula, consider individual sensitivity and follow the manufacturer's instructions.
Usually not. If the hair has level 4-5 damage, one procedure may not be enough. Most often, 2-3 procedures and proper home care are needed.
For severely damaged hair, it is usually better to start with cold recovery. Hair botox can also be used, but preferably in a cold technique, without high heat.
If the hair is healthy and a strong straightening effect is needed, choose nanoplasty. If the hair is colored, bleached or highlighted and needs smoothing, keratin is often chosen. If the hair is frizzy, tangled and dry-looking, but strong straightening is not needed, hair botox may be suitable. If the hair is severely damaged, breaking or reacts badly to hot procedures, it is better to start with cold recovery.
As a rule, nanoplasty gives a stronger straightening effect. It may be suitable for a more difficult curl pattern if the hair is healthy enough.
Only with great caution and preferably by an experienced professional. With the wrong temperature, blonde hair may turn yellow or change tone. A strand test before the procedure is recommended.
Yes, keratin is often used on blonde, highlighted and colored hair. But the hair condition matters: if the hair is severely damaged, breaking or tearing, the procedure should be postponed.
For colored, bleached and highlighted hair, keratin is chosen more often because nanoplasty has a higher risk of tone change if the technology is not followed correctly.
Nanoplasty usually has a less noticeable smell. Keratin often has a stronger smell, so the procedure should be done in a well-ventilated room, ideally with extraction and protection for the professional.
No. If the hair is severely damaged, breaking, tearing or has level 4-5 damage, recovery should come first. Nanoplasty and keratin may worsen the condition in that case.
It depends on the specific product and the manufacturer's instructions. Different brands may have different technology. Always follow the official instructions and consider the professional's experience.
Yes, especially if the hair is colored, bleached, damaged or has a complex procedure history. A strand test helps show how the hair reacts to the formula and temperature.
These procedures are better performed by a professional. Nanoplasty and keratin require correct hair diagnosis, temperature control, application technique and strict adherence to the manufacturer's instructions.
