Which Hair Treatment Is Right for You?
If your hair is feeling dry, frizzy, weak, or just not playing nice lately, you’re probably considering some type of salon treatment. But with so many buzzwords flying around—keratin, protein, hair botox—it’s easy to get confused. Don’t worry—we’ve got you.
Let’s break down the key differences between keratin, protein, and hair botox treatments so you can choose the one that actually suits your hair.
A keratin treatment is a smoothing service designed to reduce frizz, boost shine, and make hair easier to manage. It works by replenishing lost keratin—the natural protein in your hair—and sealing the cuticle with heat.
✅ Best for:
Frizzy, puffy, or curly hair
People wanting straighter, smoother locks
Those living in humid climates
⚠️ Heads up:
Some keratin treatments contain formaldehyde, which can irritate sensitive skin or eyes. Always ask your stylist what’s in the formula.
Hair made weak from chemical processing, heat styling or over-brushing? A protein treatment could be your saviour. This type of treatment adds strength back into the hair shaft, helping it resist breakage and snap.
✅ Best for:
Damaged, brittle or stretchy hair
Hair that’s been bleached or coloured too often
Anyone noticing lots of breakage or shedding
❗ Keep in mind:
Protein makes hair stronger — but too much can make it stiff. Most people only need this treatment every 4–6 weeks.
Despite the name, hair botox doesn’t involve needles. It’s a deep-conditioning treatment packed with vitamins, oils, amino acids and collagen. It helps fill in broken or rough spots along the hair shaft to restore softness and bounce.
✅ Best for:
Dry, dull or lifeless hair
Fine or ageing hair needing extra love
A natural, healthy shine (without harsh chemicals)
✨ Bonus:
Hair botox doesn’t contain formaldehyde and doesn’t straighten — it just deeply restores and hydrates.
Choosing between keratin vs. protein vs. hair botox depends entirely on your hair’s condition and goals:
Frizz and flyaways? → Go for keratin
Weak or damaged strands? → Try a protein treatment
Dry, dull, or ageing hair? → Book in for hair Botox.
Still not sure? Your best bet is to chat with your stylist. A proper consultation (and maybe even a strand test) can help you avoid costly mistakes.
There’s no one-size-fits-all answer when it comes to hair care. Whether you’re dealing with frizz, damage, or dehydration, understanding the benefits of each treatment will help you make an informed decision.
When in doubt? Treat your hair like it’s your best mate—give it what it truly needs, not just what’s trendy.
