Botox for hair is a cosmetic treatment that aims to enhance the strength and appearance of hair. It is called "hair Botox" because it works similarly to Botox, which relaxes muscles and smooths skin, but it does not contain botulinum toxin, the main ingredient of Botox.

The ingredients of hair Botox differ depending on the product. Some popular products include:
- LOreal Professionals Fiberceutic, which uses an ingredient called Intra-Cylane to fill hair strands with flexible, soft fibers to create the appearance of fuller, smoother hair.
- Majestic Hair Botox, which claims to use a patented mix of caviar oil, BONT-L peptide, vitamin B-5, E vitamins, and collagen complex to make hair smooth and thick.
- Kerazon Intensive Brazilian Hair Botox Treatment, which is designed for all hair types and contains moisturizing and nourishing properties to manage frizz and provide a natural look.
Hair Botox can be used by people with brittle, damaged, or frizzy hair, as well as those whose hair has been damaged by heat styling and coloring.

Hair stylists can purchase their products from verified sellers, so they know they’re getting the best.
