Does anyone know what kind of hair treatment Shawn did to her hair? It’s like perfectly straight and shiny now. I know she referred to it as “hair Botox” but what exactly is that?! Haha

'Hair Botox' doesn't contain any Botox. It has mostly keratin plus other hair nutrients but w/o the chemicals used in keratin treatments such as Brazilian blowouts use. In other words, it's less damaging than traditional keratin treatments but still not all that good for your hair.

ETA-

'Botox' is an actual registered brand name of a type of Rx neurotoxin. I can't believe the industry allows that name to be used in hair treatments.

How would I ask my stylist for it then?

@AndreaG222  I also believe it's a keratin treatment. They must have put a fancy name on it to re-market it again. I just recently moved to humid and hot Florida and with naturally wavy hair, I am considering getting it done. I went to my new hairdresser yesterday and she has curly hair that was straight and she had it done. She told me there are two types offered there and one leaves your hair stick straight and the other will allow some natural wave to come through. Now that I live here, and have long hair, I am considering the second one. It's expensive, but supposed to last like 4 months.

If you just ask for "hair Botox" they should know what you mean even though it's not the official name.  My stylist does them even though I get a keratin type treatment called Pura luxe. I'd say the one I get is in between the 2.  

 Hair Botox doesn't last as long or create the stick straight hair that most keratin treatments do.  

The one I get is customizable to how much wave I want left in or how straight I want it.  It's ok for now but still not exactly what I want.  I'm still searching.

Hair Botox's main difference from a Brazilian blowout (keratin treatment) is that the Brazilian blowout uses chemical straighteners and the hair Botox does not.  

Hair Botox ...aka collagen deep-conditioning hair mask.

The last time I peeked at a Shawn show she had a Flintstones Pebble's do. Was cute on baby Pebbles.

I have hair similar to Shawns, very thick and will get fuller and wavy with humidity.

I don't care for Shawn's hair as the treatment makes her hair look too thin.

I love my thick hair.

Every stylist I've asked about Keratin treatment  - old and newer - has agreed it can damage your hair.

I can't use anything with keratin or collagen in it, shampoos or conditioners, b/c they make my hair go completely flat and weighed down.

I think her hair looks dry and damaged.  No shine.  She always had nice hair but now it lacks luster.
