Does hair botox cause hair loss?

I just got hair botox done to make my hair smoother and shinier. Now I'm seeing a bit more hair fall than usual when I wash it. Could hair botox treatment be causing increased hair loss?

I just got hair botox done two months ago and honestly, my hair fall actually increased for the first three weeks. The stylist told me it was because of the intense heat they use during the ironing step. It has settled down now, but definitely expect some temporary shedding if your scalp is weak.

Agree with the others, it shouldn't cause hair fall. Just make sure they don't apply the product directly onto your scalp, only on the hair strands.

Look, hair botox doesn't touch your roots, so it cannot cause hormonal or actual hair loss from the follicles. Any shedding you see is just surface breakage due to high temperature flat irons. Go to a premium salon and you will be fine.

Technically, hair botox is formaldehyde-free, so it is safer than keratin. However, chemical sensitivity varies from person to person. If you already have severe hair fall or scalp eczema, avoid these treatments and see a dermatologist first.

Haan yaar, hair fall toh ho sakta hai agar product dhang ka na ho. Actually jo straightener use karte hain treatment ke time, uski heat se baal break hote hain na. Thoda care toh karni padegi, brand humesha accha chuno.

Try not to worry too much. Usually, hair botox is just a deep conditioning treatment and doesn't cause hair loss unless the chemicals are too strong or don't suit your scalp. Just discuss it with a good stylist before you decide.

I totally get it, hair fall can be so stressful to deal with when you just wanted beautiful hair. Sometimes our hair is already weak, and the heavy chemicals just overload it. Take a deep breath, pamper your scalp with some mild coconut oil, and it will recover.

No, it doesn't cause hair loss directly as it's a deep conditioning treatment, but excess heat during the process can cause breakage.

I was literally searching about this for three days because I wanted to get it done but got so scared of going bald. From what I understood, the treatment is safe, but the heat from the styling tools can damage the roots. I decided to wait until my hair gets a bit stronger.
