From botox to keratin: everything to know about modern hair treatments

Botox, keratin, lamination, nanoplastia – and dozens of other salon treatments that promise to make your dream of shiny, manageable hair come true. But how do you navigate the names and choose the one that’s truly right for you? We’ve gathered the key hair rituals – from timeless classics to innovative newcomers – and broken down who they’re for and what results they deliver.

Botox therapy without hair damage 

The beauty world has its own “eternal trends.” If fashion has the little black dress, hair care has botox. Despite the name, this treatment has nothing to do with beauty injections. Hair botox is a cocktail of deep restoration, which is rich in amino acids, vitamins, proteins, hyaluronic acid, and oils.

Effect: hair becomes denser, stronger, shinier, and more resilient. This treatment is especially effective for dull, brittle strands that have been weakened by coloring or frequent styling.

Keratin straightening for absolute smoothness 

Keratin straightening has been one of the most popular treatments of the past decade. Its formula is based on liquid keratin – the protein that makes up 90% of the hair structure. Under heat, it seals into the hair, leaving it perfectly sleek.

Effect: hair no longer frizzes, gains shine, and becomes easy to style. However, keep in mind that you may lose some natural volume, and certain formulas may contain formaldehyde. Modern salons now use gentler alternatives, but it’s always a good idea to check in advance.

The gloss of lamination without altering the structure 

Lamination is a cosmetic treatment in which a special solution coats the hair, forming a thin, transparent film. This film “locks in” moisture and nutrients while protecting strands from external factors.

Effect: hair looks healthier, with that coveted glossy shine. But note that lamination doesn’t repair hair – it only masks damage, with results lasting up to six weeks.

Nanoplastia – smoothness and care in one bottle

If you’re looking for a modern alternative to keratin, consider the “nanoplastia” procedure. Unlike lamination, this treatment actually changes the hair’s structure, straightening it with a blend of organic acids, proteins, and amino acids. Most formulas are formaldehyde-free, making the procedure a gentler option.

Effect: eliminates persistent frizz and tangles, giving hair a sleek, smooth look for up to five months. However, it’s not recommended for very fine hair and requires significant time to carry out.

Healthy and beautiful hair may be a gift of nature – in the form of voluminous curls or soft waves. And that’s a wonderful part of your unique beauty. That’s why, when choosing between Botox, keratin, or their alternatives, don’t be guided by trendy names, but by the true needs of your own hair.
