Keratin is a fundamental protein in the structure of our hair, which is found naturally in every strand. As a fibrous protein, keratin plays an important role in keeping hair strong, healthy and shiny.
However, over time, it can weaken to a great extent. This is when treatments with products containing keratin can work wonders to restore and revitalise hair.
What is Keratin for hair?
Keratin is a protein found naturally in hair, nails and skin, and is essential for maintaining the health of these tissues. In the case of hair, keratin acts as a protective layer that strengthens the hair and gives it the necessary resistance to prevent it from breaking or becoming brittle. As a key component of the hair fibre, keratin is also responsible for giving hair its natural softness and shine.
Due to various factors such as heat from straighteners, sun, pollution or chemical treatments, the keratin content in the hair decreases, causing the hair to look dull, lifeless and frizz-prone. In these cases, using products that contain keratin as a main ingredient can help to restore vitality and strengthen each hair strand.
Benefits of Keratin for hair
Incorporating keratin treatments into your hair care routine brings numerous benefits that are visible from the first applications. Among the main benefits, the following stand out:
Damage repair: Keratin treatments help repair damaged hair fibre, restoring the hair structure from the inside.
Frizz reduction: Keratin smoothes hair cuticles, which helps reduce frizz, giving a smoother, more manageable look, even in humid climates.
Smoother softer: Keratin coats each hair strand, giving a smoother finish and a natural, light-reflecting shine, enhancing its appearance.
Protection against future damage: By filling damaged spaces in the hair fibre, keratin strengthens the hair, which helps prevent future damage from external factors such as heat or sun exposure.
Ease of combing: Products with keratin make combing easier, avoiding tangles and reducing breakage during brushing.
