If you're reading this article, we're pretty sure you're familiar with Botoxa.k.a. the secret to freakishly smooth, youthful-looking skin. Now, you might be wondering, what the heck is 'hair botox'? First of all, it doesn't involve needles. But just like the cosmetic procedure, this buzzy new hair treatment helps smoothen one's tresses, making them appear healthier.

So what exactly is hair botox?

Essentially, hair botox is a deep-conditioning treatment for damaged hair that's being offered at salons. It acts as a filler! According to Healthline, "the treatment fills in any broken or thin areas on each hair strand to make [the] hair appear more full and lustrous."

Unlike a Keratin hair treatment, which uses a chemical complex to relax and straighten your locks, a hair botox simply works to nourish and strengthen your tresses while maintaining the natural texture of your hair.

This semi-permanent hair treatment can last up to two months. But of course, it will vary from person to person.
