Hair Botox is a deep conditioning treatment that coats hair fibers with a filler, such as keratin, to fill in any broken or thin areas on each hair strand to make hair appear more full and lustrous. Hair Botox does not actually contain botulinum toxin, which is the main ingredient of Botox, but is named after it because of how the product works. The ingredients of Hair Botox differ depending on the product. For example, L’Oreal Professional’s Fiberceutic uses an ingredient called Intra-Cylane to fill hair strands with flexible, soft fibers, while Majestic Hair Botox claims to use a patented mix of caviar oil, BONT-L peptide, vitamin B-5, E vitamins, and collagen complex. Moisture is also key for healthy, shiny hair, so ingredients that can impart moisture and help to seal it play an important role in hair Botox treatments, just as they do in any deep conditioning treatment. The moisturizing ingredients vary between products and formulation but some good ones to look for are black caviar oil, jojoba oil, argan oil, and macadamia oil. Antioxidants, like vitamins E and C, also help to restore the hair cuticle.
