Blow-tox: Is This The New Way To Frizz Free Hair?

There’s nothing we like better than reading about, and trying out, hair hacks to keep our locks healthy, soft and?frizz free. We’re as open-minded as the next person, but even we’re not so sure about this one.

Dr Carolyn Berry, Medical Director and Founder of Firvale Clinics in the UK said she has noticed an influx in women enquiring about the procedure.

?I have used Botox injections into the scalp before to treat people who sweat excessively, particularly around the hairline,? she explained.
