Bixiplasty for hair: what it is, pros and cons, how it’s done, care after the procedure

What is bixiplasty for hair?

Bixiplasty is, in fact, an analogue of the familiar keratin hair straightening or nanoplasty , but with a rich composition that contains significantly more beneficial oils. Bixiplasty is often called a hybrid of “keratin” and restorative Botox care, since, in addition to smoothing, it has a powerful healing effect, that is, it provides straightening and deep nourishment to the hair.

The procedure gives the strands a luxurious and well-groomed look, making them soft, shiny and absolutely smooth. Hair becomes denser, more elastic, easy to comb and style.

What's in it?

Let's figure out why bixiplasty works?

The main component of the complex, responsible for deep care and restoration of damaged hair structure, is the oil of the South American bush bishi , rich in proteins and fatty acids - by the way, this is how the procedure got its name.
Babassu oil instantly moisturizes and softens curls along the entire length, preventing the appearance of split ends.
Pracaxi seed oil prevents hair from frizz and ensures smoothness.
Brazil nut oil is known for its nutritional properties, as well as its high selenium content - the latter can repair damaged hair, strengthen its roots and awaken dormant hair follicles.
Keratin - similar to the main protein of hair - fills voids in places where the cuticle is destroyed, thickens and improves the quality of hair.
The composition also includes the sulfur amino acid cysteine - it significantly reduces the fragility and electrification of hair.
The preservative phenoxyethanol is responsible for straightening and mirror-like shine of hair.

Indications and contraindications

Understanding the pros and cons of the service, hairdressers agree that the bixiplasty procedure is designed more for thin hair of the Slavic type and will be useful for those with curls:

curly,
naughty,
fluffy,
dim,
damaged,
fragile.

Bixiplasty is not recommended during pregnancy. Also a contraindication is the presence of an allergy to the components of the products used.

Keratin straightening

Aimed at immediate improvement in appearance and long-term straightening. Doesn't cure. The procedure is performed similarly to Botox, but there are significant differences.

After washing, the composition is applied to dry curls, left for 30 minutes, then dried at medium temperature with a hairdryer. Iron 2-6 times.

It is recommended to wear a mask during the procedure!

The composition contains formaldehyde, which releases toxic fumes. It is this or an analogue - aldehyde acid - that straightens curls for a long time.

Features of care:

for 72 hours you cannot wash or pin up your hair, make a ponytail, or tuck it behind your ear;
use sulfate-free shampoo and make masks with keratin for 4-6 months - this will prolong the effect of the procedure.

Effect of keratin straightening:

smoothness and silkiness;
4 months straight hair, without using an iron (blow-dry);

The duration of the effect is 4-6 months.

Suitable for:

curly, if you want to straighten your hair for a long time;

for normal hair – add shine.

Who is not suitable for:

Pros and cons of the procedure

Advantages

Bixiplasty not only straightens the strands, but also heals them, restoring the damaged structure.
The composition provides hair protection from UV rays.
The wow effect remains on the hair even several months after visiting the salon.

Flaws

Phenoxyethanol has been added to bixiplasty products along with natural oils. In hair products, it replaces more harmful parabens, however, despite the safety stated by the manufacturers, it can cause irritation and an allergic reaction.
A controversial point for hair health: during the procedure, the master treats the strands with an iron heated to 230 degrees. On the one hand, high temperature makes it possible to seal beneficial ingredients inside the hair, on the other hand, the hair experiences real stress from such “treatment” even if thermal protection is used.

Botox

When you hear the word “Botox,” the first thing that comes to mind is injections that smooth out wrinkles. However, hair Botox is not related to “beauty injections.” The name of the procedure was given because of the rejuvenation effect produced . The whole process consists of applying a special restoring serum to the strands using a certain technology. The main component of the Botox Intrasilam composition, which makes hair smoother and less fluffy, adds volume, and simplifies styling.

The main stages of Botox:

Rinse and dry the strands with a hairdryer or towel.
Application of a special reconstructive serum.
Application of a special sealing agent. Rinse with water after 5 minutes. Drying and straightening strands with an iron.
Applying a leave-on restorative mask.

One of the benefits of Botox is reducing styling time . After the procedure, curls are more manageable, soft and smooth, thin and weakened hair looks more voluminous, split ends become less noticeable. For those with lighter shades, Botox will help get rid of yellowness.

Contraindications:

Pregnancy and lactation period.
Damage to the scalp.
Severe hair loss.
Allergic reactions to the components included in the composition.
Recent bleaching or perming (must be at least 2 weeks old).

Bixiplasty: at home or in the salon?

The bixiplasty procedure takes on average from two to four hours depending on the length of the hair and occurs in several stages.

First of all, the hair and scalp are thoroughly washed with a deep cleansing shampoo - it removes impurities and opens the hair scales.
After washing, the curls are dried, combed and divided into zones.
Stepping back from the base of the hair, you need to apply a special composition to each strand, which “works” on the hair for about 20 minutes.
The hair is dried with a hairdryer and treated with an iron heated from 180 to 230 degrees: on average, each strand needs about 15 “pullings” with tongs.
After the hair has cooled - this may take about half an hour - it is washed and dried again.

After a few months, when the hair begins to fluff and curl again, you can safely repeat the procedure. What’s nice is that bixiplasty has a cumulative effect.

On the Internet you can find instructions, photos and videos on how to do bixiplasty yourself, but SalonSecret experts do not recommend repeating the procedure at home. It is quite labor-intensive; straightening it correctly and not missing a single strand is not so easy. In addition, there is a possibility of damaging your hair by holding it between the heated plates of a curling iron.

Post-procedure care: advice from professionals

To maintain the results of bixiplasty, you must follow a few simple rules.

On the first day after the bixiplasty procedure, it is not advisable to pin your hair up with hairpins, do hairstyles, braid hair, or even tuck strands behind your ears to avoid the formation of creases.
Shampoo, conditioner, masks and other hair products will have to be replaced with soft, sulfate-free products, otherwise the composition will be washed off from the hair in a couple of weeks.
It is recommended to dry your hair only with a hairdryer.
Before swimming in the pool or sea, be sure to apply a hair protectant to your curls.
