Keratin vs Hair Botox: What’s the Difference and Which One Is Best for Your Frizz?

 

If you’ve been battling frizz, dryness, or unmanageable hair, you’ve probably heard about two popular treatments: Keratin and Hair Botox. But which one is actually best for your hair? And do you really need both? Let’s break down the difference — and help you choose your perfect match.


Quick Overview: What Are Keratin and Hair Botox?

Keratin Treatment
Keratin treatments use heat-activated proteins to coat the hair shaft, smooth cuticles, and lock out frizz. They're best known for creating sleek, straight results that last for weeks.

Hair Botox
Despite the name, there are no needles involved. Hair botox is a deep-repair treatment packed with nourishing ingredients like amino acids, marine collagen, and oils. It smooths and revives damaged hair without altering its natural texture.


Key Differences: Keratin vs Botox

Feature Keratin Treatment Hair Botox
Main Purpose Straightening & frizz control Deep repair & hydration
Texture Effect Straightens hair Smooths, softens, doesn’t change texture
Best For Coarse, curly, frizz-prone hair Dry, damaged, bleached, or fine hair
Key Ingredients Keratin, proteins, sometimes formaldehyde Collagen, oils, beeswax, amino acids
Application Time 60–90 minutes 30–45 minutes
Lasts For 3–6 months 4–6 weeks
Chemical-Free? Varies by brand Usually formaldehyde-free
Heat Required? Yes, flat iron Yes, gentle heat (like a dryer or cap)

So… Which One Is Best for Frizz?

If frizz is your enemy, both treatments help — but in different ways.

  • Choose Keratin if you want long-lasting smoothness and a sleek, polished finish.

  • Choose Hair Botox if you want softness, bounce, and frizz control without changing your hair’s texture.

Pro tip: Frizz from dryness or damage? Start with hair botox. Frizz from thick, coarse texture? Go for keratin.


Can You Use Both?

Yes — and many stylists recommend alternating between the two.

  • Start with a keratin treatment to reset your hair.

  • Maintain results with a hair botox mask every 4–6 weeks.

That’s why Jumy Bee offers both:
