Here is the difference between keratin ,cysteine and hair botox treatment

None of these treatments strengthen your hair or replenish lost protein. These will only make your hair manageable so your grooming time is reduced.

▪️Keratin: either formaldehyde or glycoxylic acid is used to break the disulphide bond on hair shot and reel them so that the hair is straighter, smoother and appears shiny. Results last upto 4 months. At the end of 6 months, hair may appear more frizzy and unmanageable as there are now breaks in the hair shaft.
👩‍⚕️ : If you have frizzy unmanageable hair and if you use heating tools on a daily basis then it may be worthwhile. Keep a short hair cut. And make sure you use proper shampoos and conditioners to reduce further hair damage.

▪️Cysteine treatment : Glycoxylic acid+cysteine+ acetic acid is used to change the shape of hair. It doesn’t completely break the disulphide bonds like keratin. This is less damaging to the hair shaft but lasts for a shorter period of time and costs more.
👩‍⚕️This has all the same indications as keratin treatment. If you are willing to spend more and get treatments done at regular intervals , then you can go for this treatment .

▪️Hair botox: A mixture of oils and vitamin b5, Vitamin E etc are used to seal the cuticle. This does not break the bonds in hair shaft and is more of a “patch work” on damaged hair. The results last 2-3 months.
👩‍⚕️ if you have dry, frizzy, colour treated hair, then this may help in making hair appear more shiny.

Remember that all the three treatments use strong chemicals and heat, so none are actually good for hair. If you have good hair then don’t go for these treatments. But if you have unmanageable hair then these treatments may be worth a try. Do not do them when you are experiencing hair fall If you have low density, thin hair, then these treatments are not a good option as they will reduce your volume further due to hair breakage and make your hair appear more scanty.
