What is the difference between a Botox, Brazillian & Mycro Keratin treatment

With so many new options for anti-frizz, we know this can be confusing.


Here is a breakdown of what you need to know.



1. Botox for Hair:

  • Purpose: Hair Botox is a deep conditioning treatment designed to restore and rejuvenate damaged, brittle, or lifeless hair. It doesn't involve Botox (the ingredient) but is named for its restorative effects.

  • Ingredients: Contains collagen, proteins, amino acids, and other hydrating ingredients that work to repair hair fibers.

  • Benefits: Smooths frizz, adds shine, repairs split ends, and restores moisture to dry hair. It doesn’t straighten the hair as much as it improves texture and volume.

  • Best for: Hair that is dry, damaged, and needs moisture without heavy straightening.

2. Brazilian Keratin Treatment:

  • Purpose: This is a straightening treatment that uses keratin to smooth the hair and reduce frizz while adding shine. It creates a sleek, straight look that can last for months.

  • Ingredients: Contains keratin proteins that are sealed into the hair using a flat iron. Some formulas contain formaldehyde or similar chemicals to lock in the straightening effect.

  • Benefits: Primarily designed to straighten curly or frizzy hair and make it more manageable. It offers smoothness and reduces styling time.

  • Best for: People who want straighter, more manageable hair, especially those with curly, frizzy, or wavy textures.

3. Mycro Keratin Treatment:

  • Purpose: Mycro Keratin is also a keratin-based treatment, but it focuses more on repair and rebuilding damaged hair rather than straightening. It restores the natural keratin in the hair.

  • Ingredients: Includes micro-keratin particles that deeply penetrate the hair cuticle to repair damaged hair, enhance strength, and smoothness.

  • Benefits: Reduces frizz, repairs damage, and restores hair health, leaving hair smoother and shinier without drastic straightening. It's considered a healthier option for repairing hair over time.

  • Best for: Hair that’s been damaged by heat, coloring, or environmental factors and needs restoration without excessive straightening.

Summary of Key Differences:

  • Hair Botox: Primarily repairs, hydrates, and smooths without drastically straightening hair.

  • Brazilian Keratin: Stronger straightening treatment that smooths and reduces frizz for a sleek look.

  • Mycro Keratin: Focuses on repairing and smoothing damaged hair without altering the natural texture as much as Brazilian treatments.
