What Is Hair Botox? Meet Kerasmooth BTX 50

Keratin vs. BTX vs. Relaxer: Which Service Should You Recommend?

Kerasmooth BTX 50 is for clients who want hair to look smoother, calmer and easier to style, while keeping their own wave or curl pattern. It is not a straightening service.

Important: A consultation and strand test are required before every application. This page explains the service; a qualified professional should carry it out.

The simple answer

Hair Botox: Softer, Smoother Hair

“Hair botox” is a common salon phrase, not a medical treatment. Kerasmooth BTX 50 is a professional hair volume-control service designed to reduce the look of frizz and puffiness, so the hair feels more manageable and keeps its natural character.

It is the better conversation to have when the client does not want pin-straight hair. Instead, the aim is a neater finish, less unruly-looking texture and more visible shine, while allowing waves or curls to remain.

The key difference: BTX 50 helps refine the finish. If the desired result is clearly straighter and sleeker hair, look at the Brazilian Keratin System instead.
The vivid blue colour is the BTX 50 cream. The 120 ml bottle remains off-white.

What clients may notice

What BTX 50 is designed to help with

The service is particularly useful where hair feels difficult to control day to day. A professional consultation is still essential: hair history, current condition and the strand-test result decide whether to continue.

01

Frizz

Helps create a smoother-looking finish when humidity or texture makes the hair appear unruly.

02

Volume

Helps calm unwanted puffiness and bulk without making straight hair the goal.

03

Manageability

Supports a neater, more workable finish for everyday styling.

04

Natural character

Designed for those who value their own wave or curl pattern and want it to remain visible.

05

Shine

Helps hair look smoother and more polished when the service is suitable and correctly performed.

06

Professional choice

For qualified professionals working from the product directions, not a home-use treatment.

Finish reference only. A consultation and documented strand test determine suitability and the expected finish for each client.

The salon appointment

A clear, responsible BTX 50 process

Exact timings and heat settings must follow the current BTX 50 product directions and the outcome of the strand test. These five controls keep the appointment clear for the client and responsible for the professional.

  1. Consult firstDiscuss the client’s goal, hair history and current condition before deciding whether BTX 50 is appropriate.
  2. Strand test before the full serviceUse a small concealed section and assess the completed strand. Do not proceed if it appears fragile, weakened, overly damaged, discoloured or breaks.
  3. Apply with professional careWear suitable gloves, work in a well-ventilated area and keep product at least 1 cm from the scalp.
  4. Follow the current BTX 50 directionsUse the approved preparation, processing, rinsing, drying and heat guidance — never another brand’s routine.
  5. Give tailored aftercareAdvise the client from their service record and the official directions. Do not promise a fixed result duration.
Illustrative finish references, not a guarantee. Results vary with hair condition, hair history, consultation and correct professional application.

Set expectations properly

What a good consultation should make clear

There is no one identical result for every head of hair. A responsible professional will confirm the client’s hair history, check the condition of the hair, carry out the strand test and explain the realistic finish before the full service begins.

BTX 50 is not presented as a permanent straightening, structural repair or a “one-size-fits-all” solution. Its role is much clearer: a professional option for a calmer, smoother-looking finish where keeping movement matters.

For salons: record the consultation and strand-test result. For clients: ask to see the test result and talk through the finish you want before booking the full service.
