Which is better: Botox or eyelash lamination (an expert told us)

A woman's appearance largely depends on the condition of her hair. Despite the fact that many girls naturally have healthy, thick, strong and beautiful curls, there are a large number of different external circumstances (in particular, the environment, poor-quality care products, poor water quality and much more) that worsen the condition of the hair. That is why many ladies have to resort to health-improving cosmetic procedures, the most popular of which are Botox and lamination.


What are these methods for improving hair health? How are they different and which one should you choose? What is the cost of the procedures? Read more about this in our material.

Keratin straightening (keratin)

This is not treatment or hair restoration.
This is a chemical composition that is used to make hair straight. This procedure becomes a real salvation for those who have super-voluminous hair and restless curls. Just choose the manufacturer carefully and be very careful! Many brands use large amounts of formaldehyde, which evaporates during the procedure. All this poison settles in the respiratory organs of both the client and the master. True, there are several companies that replace formaldehyde with another component (when it evaporates, only a sweetish pleasant smell remains). The advantages of keratin straightening are that the curls become straight forever, styling is almost not needed (if the keratin preparation is of high quality).

This procedure has more disadvantages, but only if it is cheap, low-quality keratin: the scalp becomes oily faster, and over time, the hair becomes wavy and brittle.

How to do eyelash botox

Eyelash Botox is a non-specific procedure, just like its name. Each master puts their own content into it. Who cares?

Some offer eyelash Botox to enhance the caring effect as the final stage of lamination (alternate application of several compounds in order to give the eyelashes a curve and visually increase thickness). In general, “eyelash botox” simply involves lubricating them with a special composition that lasts for 10 minutes.

Others call eyelash botox a more extensive service that lasts up to two hours or more. It consists of coloring, curling (hairs treated with a special product are fixed on a roller), as well as alternate application of several compounds to the eyelashes, some of which are considered lamination, while others are considered Botox.

Poor eyelashes are subjected to multi-stage chemical and mechanical effects for two hours. They are treated first with a degreasing agent, then with a composition to open the scales, then with agents for volume and fixation of the bend, and they are also subjected to the harmful effects of paint.

Only after this is the product called Botox for eyelashes applied directly (we have already found out the truth about its composition).

The confusion is that some masters call the same complex procedure not Botox, but lamination. Many get out of the situation by calling theirs.

Less common are proposals for eyelash Botox as a procedure consisting of curling, dyeing and treatment directly with Botox serum (strengthening the hairs and consolidating the results of curling and dyeing). Without peeling and laminating compounds.

During all stages of the procedure, the upper eyelashes are fixed on a special roller, which provides a curling effect. A cotton pad is placed under the lower ones.

What does Botox contain?

The composition of Botox products can vary, but there are key components that are contained in most products:

  • Degreasing is carried out. The master washes the client's hair with a special shampoo.
  • Hair is dried with a towel.
  • The drug is applied either to the hair or injected into the scalp.
  • Then, depending on the instructions, the composition should be kept for 30 to 60 minutes. If an injection is made, then the mother’s further actions depend on the drug that is used and the instructions for it.
  • Next comes heat treatment.
  • After this, the composition is washed off.
  • Apply the fixing agent according to the instructions.
  • Final hair drying and styling.

Effect

  • Hair is more manageable.
  • The styling lasts longer.
  • Hair has a shiny, healthy appearance.
  • There is an increase in volume.
  • Hair loss is reduced.
  • Growth accelerates.
  • The follicles become stronger.
  • The ends do not split, frizz disappears (especially for curly hair).

Depending on many factors, the effect lasts from 3 to 5 months. This method has a cumulative effect.

The more often you resort to this procedure, the more noticeable and lasting the result will be.

How to improve the condition of eyelashes at home?

For the health and beauty of eyelashes, experts give the following recommendations:

  1. Clean your eyelashes using baby shampoo labeled “tear-free.” This will speed up hair growth.
  2. After taking a shower, comb your eyelashes with a special brush.
  3. Use regular balm for hair and eyelashes, apply it for a minute. Castor oil will also benefit, as it enhances hair growth.
  4. Pay attention to products intended for eyelash care. This could be, for example, a growth serum.
  5. Take vitamin complexes that contain B vitamins.
  6. It's better to use curling irons less often. If you still use such a tool, try heating it with a hairdryer first, this way the hair structure will be less disturbed.
  7. Use high-quality mascara, which should be changed after 3 months. There are products on sale that not only color eyelashes, but also nourish them. And you need to wash off the mascara using a cotton pad from top to bottom.

The essence of lamination

The main parameter that distinguishes Botox from hair lamination is the indications. The procedure does not have a therapeutic effect, since it is aimed at changing the external condition of the hair without affecting the root system. This is explained by the fact that the distribution of the drug along the roots can make the hair heavier, reducing its thickness and volume, and the composition contains practically no useful microelements.

Lamination of curls is used to eliminate kinks along their length, neutralize split ends, and restore the structure of the root system. An additional effect of the technology is straightening the strands, giving them a natural shine.

The effect of the procedure is manifested by the following factors:

  1. Moisturizing hair.
  2. Elimination of damage along the length.
  3. Straightening.
  4. The curls become obedient, do not become electrified, do not become frizzy, and do not get tangled.
  5. Increasing the volume and visual density of vegetation.
  6. Adding shine to hair.

The technique, like the previous one, is absolutely painless, so it is prescribed to solve many hair problems and eliminate their visual defects.

There are also several lamination techniques:

  • Hot. Involves heat treatment during the session;
  • Cold. A classic option that does not involve complicating the technology;
  • Colored. The effect is further enhanced by a change in the color scheme of the hairstyle;
  • Biological. The master uses a drug containing only natural ingredients that are safe for the girl;
  • Medicinal. Microelements and vitamins are added to the composition to restore the health of curls.

The cosmetologist does not prescribe any special restrictions due to health reasons. However, it is not recommended to do the procedure if the hairs are weakened and brittle, or if they are falling out profusely. These factors must first be eliminated to prevent side effects after work.

Lamination is mainly aimed at creating external changes in vegetation, sealing its damaged parts, and eliminating split ends. Because of this, the straightening effect is brighter.

What is Botox?

To choose which is better, Botox or lamination, pay attention to the features of each technology and consult with a cosmetologist. This will help you choose a treatment based on the structure and health of your vegetation.

During Botox, the master uses a special keratin-based composition, which is applied to the entire length of the strands, additionally distributed along the root part. Microelements and vitamins included in the solution gradually penetrate the hair follicle, helping to nourish and strengthen the hairs.

A small film is created on the outside of the hair, which involves sealing damaged length particles, eliminates split ends, and creates a natural gloss.

There are two types of Botox:

  1. Hot. It involves the use of heat treatment during the session, which increases the tightness and fixation of the solution on the vegetation.
  2. Cold. To secure the applied serum, a sealing agent is additionally applied, which prevents its premature leaching from the surface.

Regardless of the technique, Botox has the same result - internal restoration of hair follicles, natural processes, as well as external changes: elimination of split ends, neutralization of frizz, electrification of hairs due to dryness, straightening them.

Before visiting cosmetology, the girl is prescribed restrictions for health reasons:

  • Pregnancy, lactation period;
  • Dermatological diseases, scalp damage;
  • Allergy to components of the composition;
  • Neuralgic diseases.

The technique is allowed only after reaching adulthood, since the use of a keratin composition can affect the state of hormonal levels.

What is the difference?

There are significant differences between these methods on several points:

  • Operating principle. When performing Botox, the hair structure undergoes changes from the inside. Getting inside each hair, the drug helps strengthen and completely restore it. And only at the end of the procedure does the gluing of the scales occur. During the lamination process, they are glued together instantly, while the hair is covered with a film that protects it from various negative influences. This method of hair restoration has only external effects.

  • Drugs. Botox products contain a very stable form of creatine and a large amount of useful substances, which allows for comprehensive hair treatment. Lamination preparations are less nutritious and, as a rule, create only an external effect.
  • Duration of action. After Botox, the effect usually lasts up to six months. The effect of lamination disappears after 3-4 weeks.
  • Straightening. After lamination, the hair becomes smooth and stops frizz. Botox does not straighten curls.
  • Coloring. When carrying out Botox, you can dye your hair within a week after its application. When laminating, this must be done before the procedure, because in the future the paint will not stick.
  • Price. The price for Botox is significantly higher than for lamination.

Application of Botox

Hair Botox is a specially developed mixture consisting of active substances that can penetrate the molecular structure of hair and restore it from the inside. Naturally, this procedure is only named so. It does not contain botolirubin, but an intra-silane molecule, which has a beneficial effect on the hair, penetrating inside and forming a so-called film that protects it from the inside. As a result, they become more elastic, resilient and strong.

What are its advantages:

  1. The appearance of the strands changes radically. So, they become silky and shiny. They are easier to comb and style. They look healthier and begin to hold their shape better, even in the absence of styling.
  2. The strands no longer split because their structure changes. And so for more than half a year.
  3. Hair begins to grow noticeably faster.

Disadvantages of the procedure:

  1. Naturally, applying Botox to hair is very expensive. Therefore, not everyone can afford to repeat it monthly.
  2. Validity period of the procedure. Although serum manufacturers write that their effect will last six months, in practice it lasts only two. Thus, beautiful curls will be preserved only for a short time.
  3. This procedure can only be done a few times. The fact is that serums for it contain not only vitamins, but also chemicals. Therefore, if you perform it monthly, you may be left with brittle and fragile strands.
  4. The product has its contraindications. It should not be applied to the scalp in case of lactation or pregnancy, disorders of the scalp muscles or allergies. To check if you are allergic to this substance, ask to apply a small amount of the product to the skin of your hand. If a rash appears after a couple of days, then it is better not to experiment with your head.

Lamination

As for the composition for lamination, it is a vitamin product for hair that forms a thin protective film on it. The composition contains vitamins of groups A, B, C. It is they that allow you to retain all the beneficial microelements and moisture, and then give your curls a healthier look and a beautiful shine.

Advantages of lamination:

  1. It makes any strands shiny and strong, protects them from rain, frost and styling. Women with weak hair who suffer from split ends and fragility especially notice the effect.
  2. Lamination allows hair to grow faster. Moreover, they become more elastic and strong. At the same time, you don’t need to spend a lot of time and effort putting them in order using varnish.
  3. It allows you to improve your curls and enrich them with vitamins. Indicated even for pregnant women.

Minuses:

  1. Since the composition makes the hair heavier, it is not saturated with natural nutrients. Because of this, they become weakened within a few months and fall out faster.
  2. Many people often complain of allergies after the procedure.
  3. Lamination is contraindicated for girls with hair extensions, dry and sensitive scalps, and nursing mothers.

Hair lamination - pros and cons

This is also a fairly effective procedure that allows you to quickly restore the hair structure and restore lost beauty to your curls. It consists of applying a special preparation to the strands - biolaminate. It contains vitamins, proteins and other nutrients. This drug acts externally, enveloping every hair. As a result, a porous film is formed that protects the hair and helps retain moisture. At the same time, due to the porous structure of the film, the hair continues to “breathe”.

To understand which is better - Botox or hair lamination, you also need to learn about the advantages and disadvantages of the second type of restoration. Among the main advantages of lamination it is necessary to highlight:

  • Each hair is saturated with nutrients, the structure is restored.
  • Due to the formation of a film, nutrients are retained in the hair.
  • The curls become thicker, the hairstyle looks more voluminous.
  • The film protects each hair from negative environmental influences.
  • An attractive shine appears.
  • The condition of the hair is noticeably improved.

However, despite a number of advantages, lamination also has its disadvantages. The main disadvantage is the short-term effect (up to 4 weeks). Therefore, this procedure must be repeated regularly. The preparations used do not penetrate the hair, so lamination can provide only a short-term cosmetic effect.

Silk lamination

Silk lamination is a fairly effective and useful procedure. Silk contains a number of useful and “friendly” components for hair. And this has a beneficial effect on them.

Pros of silk:

  • It retains moisture in the hair several times better, which reduces fragility and makes it more vibrant.
  • Able to protect and soothe the scalp.
  • Fills the skin with antioxidants.
  • Substances contained in silk fight aging and protect hair from the harmful effects of sunlight.
  • Revitalizes both hair and skin surface.
  • Volume increases, styling lasts longer.

How the procedure goes:

  • The hair is cleaned using a special shampoo.
  • Silk is applied by hot wrapping.
  • Next, a special serum is applied.
  • The spa is treated with a composition containing silk.
  • Heat treatment.

BTX – Luxury Caviar dreams from the Spanish company Innovatis Hair will produce the same effect. Namely, to give hair shine, softness, and restore healthy processes in the scalp.

  • Instantly restores youth to hair.
  • Gives them shine and softness.
  • Improves condition.
  • Improves the condition of the scalp.
  • Remains effective for quite a long time (up to 2 months).

The main advantage of this drug is its instant action!

The procedure affects its structure and many drugs contain active chemicals. Botox minimizes such consequences.

Lamination procedure: effect and reviews

Lamination is effective when you need to protect your strands in bad weather or in the scorching sun, grow the hair shaft, straighten frizz, create a mirror shine, make curls smooth and not fluffy, remove split ends by “soldering”, make your curls heavier.

Having studied the features of the procedures, you can understand the difference between Botox and hair lamination. Despite the fact that both methods involve straightening the curls as a result, there are different features of the techniques.

The main difference is the effect. If Botox has healing and restorative properties for the root system, then lamination simply straightens the strands, eliminating damage and kinks along their length. Because of this, the duration of saving the result is different.

Keep in mind that during sessions the cosmetologist uses different drugs. Because of this, if you do hair lamination and botox, the difference lies in the components included in their composition, so pay attention to checking that there is no allergic reaction to them. And one of the features of lamination is that the means for its implementation includes formaldehyde, a high concentration of which can lead to cancer. Despite its small content, making therapeutic technology is considered safer.

There are other differences between lamination and Botox:

  1. Long-term preservation of the result (with conventional straightening it is less).
  2. Possibility of straightening thick and curly hair.
  3. Restrictions and recommendations for care (fewer of them are prescribed after the treatment method).
  4. No contraindications.

Despite the differences in technology, they are both absolutely painless and safe, so by choosing a competent cosmetologist and following his recommendations, you reduce the risk of side effects or consequences after the session.

Hair Botox is a technology for improving the appearance of curls. Despite the name, the technique has nothing to do with Botox; the products do not contain botulinum toxin. But there is an Intra-Silane molecule, which promotes the penetration of other components into the strands.

The technique consists of applying a solution to the curls. As it evaporates, the product hardens and creates a frame that supports the hair.

Botox technology is popular because:

  • keratin restores elasticity to strands;
  • unlike keratin straightening, the preparations do not contain aggressive substances;
  • the effect lasts up to 6 months;
  • You don’t have to go to a beauty salon; you can do the procedure at home;
  • the color of the curls becomes bright and saturated.

The method also has disadvantages:

  • high price;
  • Frequent use will make the strands brittle and weak;
  • curls suffering from a lack of vitamins will not be cured;
  • Scalp irritation may occur in those who wear makeup frequently.

To understand which procedure is better, you need to understand the operating principle of each of them. Hair Botox is a complex product based on the Intra-Silane molecule, which is able to penetrate deep into the hair, integrate into its structure, thereby filling damage.

On this topic

The product also contains various active and nutrients that help restore the hair structure, for example:

  • keratin or its derivatives;
  • hyaluronic acid;
  • natural oils;
  • elastin;
  • vitamins of groups A, C, D, E;
  • additional components.

Thanks to the influence from the inside, the hair is saturated with useful substances and microelements. Already after the first procedure they become smooth and silky, denser to the touch, but without the effect of weighting or gluing. Depending on the products used during the procedure, the result lasts from 2-4 weeks to 6 months.

Lamination differs from Botox in its external effect. During the procedure, the strands are treated with a special compound that seals the cuticles and forms a protective “film” that covers each hair.

With its help, the surface structure is leveled, volume is added and shine appears. The hair “breathes”, thanks to the sealing effect, beneficial substances and moisture are not removed from it, but new ones from the outside do not get in.

Therefore, lamination products contain a variety of nutrients and moisturizers that saturate the hair at the first stage. At the end of the procedure, under the influence of high temperature, a protective coating is formed that prevents the effects of various negative factors and substances. The result after lamination is smooth, even, shiny, voluminous strands.

Considering that Botox and hair lamination have different effects, women are thinking about the possibility of combining procedures. As a rule, salon professionals do not recommend experimenting in this direction.

If you laminate your hair after Botox, you can ruin the entire effect - from washing it with shampoo for deep cleaning, to heating the strands under a special lamp. After all, curls treated with Botox require careful care to maintain a long-term effect.

In reverse order, the nutrients simply will not reach the inner hair shaft. Lamination is considered an independent procedure that does not require additional manipulations, but in some situations hair treatment is performed before it. However, salons already offer lamination services with the Botox effect.

Manufacturers have developed a special composition that manages to nourish the hair from the inside, as with Botox, and then seal it with a film on top, as with lamination. Thanks to the combined procedure, the strands become smooth, the structure is restored, and the hairstyle acquires volume and protective functions.

Contraindications:

  • diseases or injuries of the scalp;
  • allergy to lamination or Botox components;
  • pregnancy;
  • lactation.

Experts say that the effect with proper follow-up care lasts for about two months.

The chemical industry actively works for the beauty industry, since the modern rhythm of life places high demands on women, and they place high demands on themselves. Today you can correct mistakes, cure your hair, and create a chic look even with severely damaged curls.

However, trichologists and stylists agree that only a careful attitude to health and a correct assessment of risks will keep the hair in a naturally beautiful state. Therefore, before deciding on this or that procedure, you should think seven times.

What is it and what is the difference?

Most aesthetic hair treatments end up with a similar picture - shiny, bouncy curls, reduced breakage, easy to comb and style. However, the essence of each service lies in the nuances, neglect of which can cost, at a minimum, a damaged hairstyle and money spent, and at a maximum, loss of health.

Hot lamination

A feature of hot lamination is injury. But don't take it dramatically. If you have fairly thick and healthy hair, then there is no reason to worry. If they are weak and damaged, then you should consult a specialist. Or you can resort to more gentle methods.

As for Botox, there are also both hot and cold options, but unlike lamination, even the hot option has a more gentle effect and does not injure.

This technique may vary depending on the manufacturer’s recommendations. But the principle is this:

  • Wash your hair, then dry your hair with a towel.
  • The composition is applied either directly to the hair, or injections are made into the scalp with a syringe.
  • Then you should put a plastic cap on your head and expose it to warm air. Thus, the drug penetrates deep into the hair and is better absorbed.
  • After this, the composition should be washed off.

Side effects

Negative side effects of the procedure are extremely rare, and most of them are associated with intolerance to the components of the product or non-compliance with safety precautions during application.

Concept's unique complex for lamination with a Botox effect can be an excellent alternative to expensive and unsafe procedures for the beauty of curls. It is affordable and easy to use, has very few contraindications, is non-toxic, and has a pleasant fragrance. By following the rules of its use, you can significantly improve your hair health and look great.

Curly hair

If you wear curls or have naturally curly hair, then there are special formulations and restoration techniques. Curly hair has a special twisted structure. They are more “fluffy”, dry and brittle. Therefore, the care will be special.

First of all, you need to figure out what effect you want to get:

  • Leave your hair curly (that is, the curls will be more well-groomed and moisturized).
  • Or straighten your curly hair.

If you want to straighten curly hair, then hot lamination is what you need. Because this option is more effective.

Botox for curls

In which cases is it better to use Botox and in which cases is it better to use lamination?

There are different reviews regarding Botox or hair lamination, which is better. They point out the positive and negative aspects of technology, but they are subjective, since you need to make a choice based on your goals.

If you want to change the appearance of your curls, take a lamination course. You will create the effect of evenly straightening the length, emphasizing their thickness and naturalness, eliminating damage and split ends. Since the effect of the technology is temporary and noticeable externally, keep this in mind - to restore hair follicles, you should choose Botox.

To straighten curly hair, you need to use a formaldehyde-based product. A keratin product, despite having a straightening effect, will not be able to completely align them, which is why the result will subside quite quickly.

Take into account health restrictions, recommendations pre-prescribed by the cosmetologist, including the possibility of perm, coloring after the service, which may adversely affect the preservation of the effect of the technique. Pay attention to the condition of your hair, since not all methods are equally effective for different types and structure of vegetation.

Consult with a specialist to choose an option to effectively solve the initial problems and restore curls.

It is impossible to answer the question of what is best for hair. When choosing, you need to focus on the desired goal, the absence of contraindications and the initial state of the curls.

Botox technology has no indications for use. Hairdressers recommend it to clients who are unhappy with the appearance of their hair and want it to look better.

Lamination is used for aesthetic purposes and is useful in the following cases:

  • split ends;
  • brittle, damaged, overdried strands;
  • medicinal preparations are applied to the hair;
  • curls were subjected to various strong cosmetic procedures.

To decide which of the two services is more suitable, you need to decide on the goals that need to be achieved in the end. If in doubt, advice from a trichologist will help, who will assess the condition of the hair and give his recommendations.

Owners of hair in good condition can choose lamination to get a quick cosmetic effect of gorgeous hair - shine, increased volume, smoothness, protection from UV rays before going to a resort, straightening unruly curls. It will also serve well those with colored curls - the paint under the laminating composition will last longer.

The lamination procedure will help out if you are going to attend a public event - the treated hair will look great on its own and will retain its style; in addition, possible imperfections, including split ends, will be masked.

And if your hair needs to be treated, nourished with moisture, prevent brittleness and, in some cases, hair loss (this is also true for men), put it in order rather than hide split ends, and improve its health after numerous dyeing and lightening, then it is better to opt for Botox.

Important! Both methods give hair beauty and a well-groomed appearance, however, there are differences in the effect: with Botox it is therapeutic, while with lamination it is cosmetic.

Healthy Alternative to Botox for Eyelashes

It will be useful for you to know that the eyelash consists of keratin (protein) by 97%. On average, she lives 3 months. All eyelashes are renewed within 5 months. The daily rate of hair loss is 1-5 hairs.

Having lush and expressive eyelashes is a natural desire for women. But you need to treat it wisely. Instead of harmful Botox, which only gives a temporary visual effect, we can actually help the hairs. At-home treatment compared to eyelash Botox is safe and effective in the long term.

Don't count on instant results. It will take time to awaken the follicles and allow the eyelashes to grow. Did you remember that the eyelash growth cycle is 5 months? And don’t think about deceiving nature. If she gave you sparse and short eyelashes, then they will not turn into fans, but it is possible to strengthen them and make them more noticeable.

For eyelashes to be strong and beautiful, you need to:

  • Eat properly.
    Your diet should contain healthy proteins, so eat chicken, eggs, legumes, and whole grains. To protect eyelashes from the harmful effects of the environment, antioxidants are needed, first of all, inside the body, and not outside. Vitamin C is the main assistant in this. Don’t forget also about vitamins A, B, E.
  • Take care of your eyelashes.
    You can prevent hair breakage and loss with the help of vegetable oils. The simplest and most affordable option is castor oil. Try mixing it with strong black tea to make your eyelashes darker.

    Our favorites for eyelash growth and thickness are argan and usma oils, a storehouse of nutrients and vitamins. Women who have tried Beauty 365 usma oil (sold in the online store www.beauty365.ru) want nothing more. They say it awakens even the bulbs on a bald spot. Despite the fact that usma is a plant from the mustard family, oil from it can be applied to eyelashes bordering a very sensitive organ (of course, subject to precautions). The oil activates hair follicles, improves blood supply and delivery of nutrients to the hair follicles, and has an antibacterial effect (so that hidden inflammation does not inhibit hair growth).

  • Knead the tendon helmet, neck, shoulders.
    Such manipulations improve our natural functions, including the quality, thickness and growth of hair, eyebrows and eyelashes.

Lamination for fine hair

Here we should talk about the disadvantages of lamination. One of the main risks is damage and hair loss after lamination.

If the strips are weakened and damaged, the situation can worsen. In this case, the positive effect will be short-term and purely cosmetic.

First option. The drug is from the French company Carmen Sensitive. Vanite would be a good solution. Its main features:

  • Gives vitality without weighing down hair.
  • Protects during daily blow drying.
  • Moisturizes.
  • Makes hair thicker and healthier.

The second option is Fiberceutic from the French company L'oreal. Available in ampoules. Suitable for very fine and damaged hair.

  • Restores.
  • Heals.
  • Moisturizes.
  • Protects.

In this situation, you should pay special attention to daily care after the procedure and the frequency of its repetitions. For daily care, be sure to use a mild, gentle shampoo. As for repeating the procedure, it is better to consult a specialist.

Fine hair requires special attention and if Botox or lamination procedures are performed more often than recommended, this can cause significant harm.

Positive sides

Both procedures have a visible positive effect after the first visit to the salon, this is confirmed by customer reviews and their photos.

The hair becomes smooth and even, stops frizz, and split ends are sealed. The hairstyle is transformed instantly, which is why express restoration is often used before special events.

Pros of BotoxAdvantages of lamination
  • deep hydration of damaged curls, which entails increased elasticity;
  • penetration of nutrients into the depths of the hair shaft without creating a barrier to the entry of other nutrients that you receive through daily care;
  • improving the condition of damaged curls.
  • giving your hair a glossy shine after the first procedure;
  • protection from the negative impact of external factors;
  • increase in hair volume;
  • highlighting the strand structure and color.

Hair extensions

When extensions are made, the strands (tresses) are already in a processed state. High-quality tresses are made from natural hair and have an aesthetic appearance. Since the hair is natural, it can be subjected to various types of processing, including lamination. It should be said that this procedure is rarely resorted to.

  • Firstly, because it is much more profitable to laminate your own hair, and only after that extensions.
  • Secondly, because the tresses themselves do not require such a procedure.
  • Thirdly, because extension presupposes subsequent correction, and this is a separate topic.

How much does eyelash botox cost?

Since the eyelash Botox procedure itself is vague, and there are no clear boundaries between it and lamination, the prices for it are a complete mess.

For Botox as the final stage of lamination, the additional payment is from 200-300 rubles. A complex service, which is called differently (eyelash botox, lash botox, eyelash lamination with Botox, eyelash lamination+Botox) and involves coloring, curling and treating eyelashes with several compounds (peeling, volume and restoration, “sealing”), costs, on average, from 2 thousand rubles. Although the price range is colossal: from 700 rubles to 7 thousand or more.

On average, eyelash Botox is about 1.5 times more expensive than eyelash extensions.

If you wear a haircut

And if you want to do lamination, no problem. But you should take into account the condition and type of your hair, and you should only trust experienced hairdressers. Haircut requires constant updating. Therefore, you may have to cut your laminated hair. And this is not very good. Since during lamination the tip of the hair is sealed and this prevents delamination and splitting.

Lamination is performed after the haircut, and not vice versa.

If you have a haircut, Botox can be used in the same way as with long hair. Fiberceutic from Loreal - ideal for short hair. Intra-silane is the active ingredient. Initially it is liquid, but after application it turns into a solid state.

Wherein:

  • The hair structure is strengthened as much as possible, which helps maintain styling.
  • The hair is at the same time quite flexible and at the same time durable and strong.
  • They are obedient.
  • The color becomes more vibrant.
  • The roots are strengthened.
  • Protect the ends.

It is the tips that are affected by the effects of the environment and adverse factors.

This is true for both haircuts and long hair. The point here is that a certain composition (most often protein) is applied not to the entire length, but to the ends of the hair and then moved by heat. This procedure is always hot.

If you combine sealing of ends with other wellness programs, the result will pleasantly surprise you.

Eyelash Botox effect

Some products consist only of laminating compounds, while others include shampoos, masks, and result fixers.

Home application technology

Anyone can do hair biolamination at home, but before the procedure you should carefully read the instructions and find out the recommendations of specialists. You can purchase a product for biolamination at home in cosmetic stores. You should definitely buy a clarifying shampoo. It will remove the fat layer and prepare the hair for processing. Curls washed with a special cleansing shampoo will retain the results longer.

The procedure consists of several stages:

  1. Wash your hair with deep cleaning shampoo. It will cleanse them of dirt, dust, and sebum. It will increase the permeability of each hair and speed up the process of penetration of substances into the structure.
  2. Dry your curls. The product is applied only to dry hair.
  3. Distribute the pre-prepared composition evenly. Avoid getting the product on the scalp.
  4. Depending on the condition of the strands, the duration of action of the product is selected. It can be on the curls for 25–60 minutes. Warming up the strands with a hot hairdryer will significantly enhance the result. Don't forget to wrap your hair in plastic wrap.

They are presented in a large assortment in specialized cosmetic stores. A brush will be used to distribute the composition. It should be easy to use and wide enough. You can avoid troubles and get an excellent result by strictly following the recommendations specified in the manufacturer’s instructions.

Hair care after biolamination

Girls who have completed the biolamination procedure should use shampoos that do not contain alkali. You can choose cosmetics designed for colored hair. Experts recommend enhancing the effect with masks and balms.

Biolamination is not a panacea for all problems. It is advisable to strengthen your curls before starting the procedure. The more beautiful the strands were before use, the better they will look after the procedure. The results last from three to six weeks. The duration depends on the type of curls, the composition used and further care.

If you want to restore and straighten your hair

Indications: thin, brittle and damaged hair.

Contraindications: allergy to drug components.

As some experts note, lamination is not a treatment. Hair is not restored. This procedure produces only a cosmetic effect.

As for straightening, high-quality lamination is quite capable of solving this problem.

Both lamination and Botox are virgin effective means. But when choosing, be sure to:

  • Be guided only by your individual characteristics.
  • Choose only high-quality, proven products.
  • Trust only professionals.
  • Don't listen to other people's advice.
