If you want to tame your frizz, you might consider a ‘Blow-tox’

People have been using Botox not just for wrinkle prevention for a while now.

And the fact that Botox can be used to help prevent sweating in certain areas of your body is now being utilised by some women in order to achieve their best hair looks.

Yes, it is being reported that women are having Botox injected into their scalps in order to beat her dreaded hair frizz.

It’s called, being seriously here, the Blow-tox.

Blow-tox sessions includes having Botox injected into your scalp, around the face and neck area, and then having your usual blow dry done.

Sounds lovely, if you’re not afraid of needles.

When Botox is injected into the scalp it blocks the nerves the transfer messages to the sweat glands, so your hair becomes less frizzy and also won’t need to be washed as frequently.

Dr Sabika Karim told Mail Online about how the treatment “can stop the perspiration that spoils hair and looks so unappealing.”

Fourty-four-year old Michelle MacCormack said she was “so fed up of my daily hair struggles and its terrible condition”, so wanted to give the Botox treatment a chance.

And now she can’t get enough of it.

She says that four months on “it’s cut the amount of blow-drying I do by half. I still run straighteners over the top layer of hair, but only briefly. And the style stays sleek all day.”

Michelle now also only has to wash her hair twice a week. So her hair struggles are no more, lucky her.

While Blotox does sound like it could rid a lot of us of our hair woes and blow dry struggles, and cut back on the amount of heat styling we have to do, it does have a con, or two.

“I paid £400, which sounds a lot,” says Michelle. That’s €560, which is a lot Michelle. But hey, who doesn't want the chance to have Blake Lively's glossy mane?

Dr Zamani, who practises at the Cadogan Clinic in London’s fancy pants Sloane Square, also has said that Blow-tox is not without danger.

“There’s always a risk of neck weakness if you inject around the muscles that hold up your head.”
