Choosing the right treatment depends on your hair goals. Whether you’re looking to restore, smooth, or simply tame the frizz, understanding these differences ensures you pick the perfect treatment for your hair type and lifestyle. Here’s a breakdown of the benefits and differences.

Benefits:
- Deep conditioning and moisturizing treatment.
- Reduces frizz and repairs damaged hair.

- Does not contain formaldehyde or harsh chemicals.
- Suitable for all hair types, including colored and chemically treated hair.
Differences:
- Does not straighten hair like keratin treatments or Brazilian blowouts.
- Focuses more on restoring hair health rather than altering hair texture.

- Keratin Treatment – Smoothing with a Straightening Effect
Benefits:
- Smooths and straightens hair.

- Adds shine and reduces blow-drying time.

Differences:
- Aims at straightening hair, making it less frizzy and easier to manage.

- Some versions may contain formaldehyde or similar chemicals. At Amis we only use CocoChoco Keratin that contains a range of diverse minerals, to nourish and hydrate but does not contain harmful allergens, sulfates, parabens or formaldehyde.
Duration: Lasts about 3-6 months, depending on hair type and maintenance.
- Brazilian Blowout – Flexible, Frizz-Free Hair
Benefits:
- Eliminates frizz and smooths hair without making it completely straight.
- Adds shine and improves hair manageability.
- Allows for more flexibility in styling; you can still curl or wave the hair.
- Suitable for all hair types.
Differences:
- Less intense straightening than a keratin treatment; more focused on frizz control and smoothness.
- Uses a specific blend of ingredients, including formaldehyde or similar compounds, to achieve results.
- The treatment seals the hair cuticle with a protective protein layer.
Duration: Lasts around 3-4 months, depending on hair type and care routine.
Summary:
Hair Botox is best for deep conditioning and repairing damaged hair. It does not straighten but smooths and rejuvenates.
Keratin Treatment is ideal for those wanting straighter, smoother hair with reduced frizz.
Brazilian Blowout is for those wanting frizz control and smoothness while retaining some natural texture. This is also available as the 72 Hair phrizzy-o-therapy 80% Organic Treatment.
All treatments’ longevity depends on aftercare, particularly using sulfate-free shampoos and avoiding excessive heat styling.
