“A new treatment that is trending right now is hair botox; it’s pretty mild and gives great results”, said celebrity hairstylist Yianni Tsapatori. But don’t fret; there are no needles involved in this one! Hair botox is a formaldehyde-free deep conditioning treatment. It is chemical-free and does not offer similar straightening benefits as keratin or cysteine treatments do. Instead, it helps rebuild broken hair bonds, smoothens rough texture and helps thicken hair fibres in the process.
Compounds like vitamin B5, amino acids, collagen complex and lipids are used for the procedure. A single session can help fill in the gaps in the fibres of thinning hair; thus, the name ‘botox’ because it pretty much works as a filler for your tresses.
2. Moisture Treatments

Since India lies in the tropical belt region, most of the country usually experiences a humid climate. Therefore hair spas and treatments that control frizz are extremely popular and will continue to be so. Pooja Singh, National Creative Director for Hair, Lakmé Salon, said, “I would recommend the Moroccanoil Spa. The treatment helps add hydration and lock in the moisture in the hair, giving you a smooth, soft, shiny, frizz-free mane.” Pooja also recommended indulging in a good spa after proper consultation with your salon expert at least once a month.
3. Colour Protection Treatments

Hence, Wella’s Color Motion Spa treatments have become the GO-TO destination for all colour clients. The procedure starts with our colour protection shampoo; it includes additional anti-oxidants, which helps to improve protection against free radicals. A clear consistency with luxurious foam leaves hair smooth and with vibrant shine. The Colour Motion mask with WellaPlex bonding agents is then used to strengthen hair structure, lasting manageability and shine with colour protection.”

According to Justin Dayalu, Technical Educator-Hair, Enrich, “Getting into a hair care routine is just like embarking on a skincare one. Once you’ve found one that works for you, you’ll rarely stray. If your hair has come in contact with dye, bleach, or chemicals, you may have to think extra hard about your hair treatment. My recommendation will be the Fusio Dose instant conditioning treatments.” The quick and easy procedure can infuse your hair with damage-fighting complexes without having to spend too long in the salon chair.
