A Safer, Smarter Alternative to Keratin & Relaxers
I’m happy to share some news with my international clients.
From late January 2026, I will officially introduce Hair Botox Treatment at my salon in Japan.
The product has been ordered from Iowa, USA, and I am currently waiting for it to arrive.
Before we begin, I want to clearly explain what Hair Botox is — and what it is NOT, so you can choose the right treatment with confidence.
What Is Hair Botox?
Despite the name, Hair Botox does NOT contain botulinum toxin and it is not a medical procedure.
Hair Botox is a deep conditioning and repairing treatment designed to improve the overall condition of your hair by:
- Filling damaged areas inside the hair
- Reducing frizz and dryness
- Adding shine, softness, and manageability
- Improving the feel of dry, thick, or chemically treated hair
Think of it as a “hair filler”, not a straightening service.
Hair Botox vs. Relaxers (Chemical Straightening)
A relaxer or Japanese straightening permanently changes the internal structure of the hair to make it straight.
Hair Botox is completely different.
- ❌ It does NOT straighten hair
- ❌ It does NOT break or rearrange bonds
- ❌ It does NOT remove natural curls
✔ Your natural curl pattern stays exactly the same
✔ Your hair simply becomes healthier, softer, and shinier
If you have natural curls or waves, they will remain curls — just in better condition.
This is extremely important for avoiding misunderstandings and unwanted results.
Hair Botox vs. Keratin Treatments
Many people ask if Hair Botox is the same as keratin treatment.
The answer is no.
Keratin treatments:
- Often aim to smooth or loosen curls
- May contain strong chemical ingredients
- Can sometimes cause irritation or discomfort for stylists and clients
- Are usually designed for straightening-focused results
Hair Botox:
- Focuses on conditioning and repair
- Does NOT aim to straighten hair
- Is gentler and safer for both clients and stylists
- Is ideal for improving hair quality without changing its natural shape
For these reasons, my salon has chosen Hair Botox as a safer alternative.
Who Is Hair Botox Best For?
Hair Botox is recommended if you have:
- Dry or frizzy hair
- Thick, coarse, or textured hair
- Bleached or color-treated hair
- Naturally curly or wavy hair that feels dry or rough
- Hair that needs shine and softness, not straightening
It is not recommended if you want perfectly straight hair or prefer very lightweight volume.
Important Notes (To Avoid Trouble)
To maintain results and avoid problems, please note:
- Hair Botox does not straighten hair
- Natural curls will stay curly
- Results depend on hair condition and lifestyle
- You must not wash your hair for 48 hours after the treatment
- This treatment is about hair health, not reshaping hair
Clear understanding = happy results.

Hair Botox may be exactly what you’ve been waiting for.
