Keratin, a true hair “booster”

Your hair seems unmanageable, dry, and brittle to the point where you think that only a trip to the hairdresser could be the solution? Try keratin-based treatments.

Keratin is a natural protein found in hair, acting as a waterproofing agent. Composed of amino acids, it is also an ingredient in many hair care products to strengthen, repair, and hydrate the hair.

The benefits of keratin for hair

Keratin is present in hair, body hair, and nails. However, it wears out quickly, leading to damage of the hair fiber, lack of shine, and split ends. Factors such as straightening, UV rays, highlights, bleaching, or coloring damage the hair, and keratin provides a protective effect.

Keratin gives hair a smoothing and disciplining effect, helping to restore its strength. It acts as a sheath around the hair fiber, making it softer and easier to detangle.

Keratin can be used on all hair types. It is highly recommended for hair prone to frizz. It helps with blow-drying and achieving smooth hair. In terms of volume, keratin helps maintain moderate volume.

This substance is often used in heat-protective treatments: straighteners or curling irons, to make styling easier.

Smoothing hair care to discipline your hair

You can adopt a complete hair routine based on keratin. A shampoo with this protein strengthens the hair from root to tip, while keeping it supple and restructuring it.

Once a week, it is recommended to apply a mask. With keratin, the mask coats the hair and repairs the ends and lengths without weighing them down.

Keratin is often used in leave-in treatments, such as styling sprays or finishing oils. It adds shine, prevents dryness, and disciplines the hair fiber.
