A clear difference between a keratin smoothing service and hair botox, with published guidance on how long each is said to last.
Keratin and hair botox are different salon services. Keratin is a chemical smoothing process. Hair botox is a conditioning treatment that fills the hair fibre. Neither is a medical procedure, and hair botox is not botulinum toxin.
What keratin is
Healthline describes a keratin treatment, sometimes called a Brazilian blowout, as a chemical salon procedure that can make hair look straighter for as long as six months. The same source notes that washing two or three times a week, rather than daily, helps the result last, and that chlorinated or salt water can shorten it.
A separate Healthline guide puts the straight texture from keratin treatments and Brazilian blowouts at about three to five months, and says many formulas contain formaldehyde or a related chemical even when they are sold as formaldehyde-free. The American Cancer Society identifies formaldehyde as a known carcinogen. If you are pregnant, have asthma, or are sensitive to fumes, say so before you book. Ask which formula will be used.
What hair botox is
Healthline states that hair botox does not contain botulinum toxin and is not injected. It is a deep conditioning treatment that coats the hair with a filler, often including keratin, so thin or broken areas look fuller. The same article says the effect is often described as lasting two to four months, and that a low-sulfate or sulfate-free shampoo helps keep it.
Healthline also draws the practical line: keratin uses a chemical process that can lock the hair straighter, while hair botox is conditioning and is not described as containing formaldehyde.
Which one to book at Leviosa
- Book keratin when the aim is smoother, more manageable hair over several months, and you can discuss the formula first.
- Book hair botox when the aim is softness and shine from a conditioning treatment, not a chemical straighten.
- Book a consultation if the hair is already coloured, previously smoothed, or very damaged. The two services are not automatic substitutes.
Leviosa offers both. Call +91 97319 32828 and name the service. The published durations above come from Healthline, not from a Leviosa guarantee. Your result depends on the hair and on how it is washed afterwards.
