Keratin vs. Hair Botox: Which Treatment Is Right for You?
At Kroma Salon, we offer two of the most popular and transformative hair treatments on the market—Keratin and Hair Botox. While both smooth, soften, and restore hair, they’re designed for different hair types and hair goals. If you're unsure which one is right for you, this guide will break it down so you can feel confident when booking your next appointment.
What Is a Keratin Treatment?
A Keratin Treatment is a professional smoothing treatment that infuses your hair with keratin—a protein naturally found in your strands. This treatment is ideal for reducing frizz, making hair more manageable, and cutting down on styling time.
Who It’s For:
Those with frizzy, coarse, or unmanageable hair
Anyone who frequently uses hot tools and wants to cut blow-dry time in half
Clients who want a sleek, straight, and polished look
Ideal for those who want long-lasting smoothness
Hair Type Compatibility:
Best suited for wavy to curly hair types
Safe on color-treated or chemically-processed hair
Not recommended for very fine or limp hair
Results & Longevity:
Results last up to 3–5 months with the right aftercare
Hair appears shiny, straight, and frizz-free
What Is Hair Botox?
Despite the name, Hair Botox contains no botulinum toxin. Instead, it’s a deep-conditioning, anti-aging treatment that fills in damaged areas of the hair with a rich blend of proteins, amino acids, vitamins, and collagen.
Who It’s For:
Those with damaged, dry, or over-processed hair
Clients dealing with split ends, breakage, or dullness
Perfect for restoring hair after bleaching, coloring, or heat styling
Great for maintaining natural texture while improving softness and shine
Hair Type Compatibility:
Safe for all hair types, including fine, fragile, or curly hair
Particularly beneficial for hair that has lost elasticity or shine
A gentle alternative for clients who want a boost without commitment to smoothing
Results & Longevity:
Results last about 8–12 weeks
Hair looks healthier, fuller, and more hydrated
No harsh chemicals or strong fumes involved
How to Choose the Right Treatment
If your main goal is to reduce frizz, achieve a sleek finish, and cut down styling time, a Keratin Treatment is likely the best choice—it’s ideal for thick, coarse, or unmanageable hair that needs long-lasting smoothing. On the other hand, if your hair is damaged, over-processed, or fragile, Hair Botox is a gentler alternative that restores shine, softness, and hydration without altering your natural texture or volume. Keratin treatments are better for clients who want to reduce volume and density, while Hair Botox is perfect for maintaining bounce and fullness. Still unsure? Our stylists at Kroma Salon can assess your hair type, history, and goals to recommend the best treatment for you.
