Are you dreaming of sleek, straight hair that looks healthy and frizz-free? Brazilian hair treatments can make that happen. However, what treatment is best for you? After all, hair experts have been working for years on innovations in this area, so now you have keratin, hair botox, and nanoplastia.
Each of these options smoothen your hair, reduce frizz, and make styling easier. Each treatment works differently, so it’s important to pick the right one. Some treatments last longer, while others focus on deep nourishment. NK Studio salon offers all these treatments, so we’ve prepared a post about each procedure and its pros and cons.
Keratin Hair Treatment
Keratin treatment fills hair with proteins that restore damaged strands. The process starts with deep cleansing to remove dirt and oil, then the stylist applies the keratin solution, taking tiny strands of hair.
The next step is to use a flat iron to seal the product into the hair cuticle. This smoothens the surface and makes hair straight. The effect lasts a few months, but only with the right care.
These are the benefits:
- Hair looks shiny and healthy.
- Frizz disappears in humid weather.
- Styling takes less time.
- Hair feels soft and silky.
- The effect lasts up to five months.
These are the drawbacks:
- The procedure takes a few hours.
- Some formulas contain formaldehyde.
Keratin treatment is great for frizzy or wavy hair. It makes hair sleek and easy to manage. However, you must diligently use only sulfate-free shampoos to maintain the effect.
Hair Botox
Hair botox restores damaged hair without changing its texture. The treatment fills gaps in the hair shaft with vitamins and proteins.
A stylist applies the product to clean, damp hair. Similarly to keratin treatment, the stylist uses heat to activate the ingredients, which guarantees smooth and soft hair strands.
Unlike keratin, hair botox doesn’t straighten hair completely. It improves elasticity and reduces breakage.
These are the pros:
- Hair feels stronger and thicker.
- Split ends look less visible.
- Color-treated hair looks brighter.
- No harmful chemicals.
- The effect lasts up to four months.
These are the cons:
- Only slightly straightens hair.
- The effect fades faster than keratin.
Hair botox suits dry or damaged hair, as it adds shine and makes styling easier. You should also use sulfate-free shampoos and deeply hydrating masks (once a week) to maintain the effect.
Nanoplastia
Nanoplastia straightens hair with amino acids and natural oils. A stylist applies the product after washing the hair, then uses the heat to seal the ingredients into the hair structure.
The treatment makes hair smooth and straight without the usage of harsh chemicals. The effect lasts longer, even on thick or curly hair.
These are the advantages:
- Hair stays straight for up to six months.
- No toxic fumes.
- Works on all hair types.
- Hair looks natural and soft.
- Moisturizes and strengthens hair.
These are the disadvantages:
- Takes several hours to apply.
- Some people dislike the scent during the process.
Nanoplastia is a great choice for if you want long-lasting straight hair that also regains shine and elasticity. You should also maintain the hair differently, specifically, use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners.
The bottom line is that all three procedures restore the health of your hair, repair damage, and guarantee extreme shine. However, keratin hair treatment and nanoplastia guarantees better straightening effects. Botox is ideal if you already have straight hair, but want to repair it.
