If you usually wake up to frizzy, dry, and damaged hair, then you’ve probably been told that you need to try a keratin treatment. While a salon keratin treatment might do miracle work on your hair, it might also break the bank in the process. Not to mention that it’s not a permanent solution as keratin treatments typically last around six months. 

If in-salon keratin treatments aren’t in your budget, there’s still one other way to achieve healthy hair; an at-home keratin treatment! Yes, we mean that you can restore your hair to health using keratin products, minus the stress of feeling buyers’ remorse.

WHAT IS KERATIN?

You may have heard the buzz word “keratin” and have a general understanding that it smoothes out your hair, but what does it actually mean? Keratin is an essential protein that makes up the hair, skin, and nails, otherwise known as the hair’s structural building block.  

Researchers from a 2013 study found that the active components in keratin protein are effective at strengthening the hair, deeming keratin as a promising ingredient!

HOW DOES IT WORK?

Keratin smoothes down the overlapping cells of hair strands, also known as the cuticle, which then absorbs the protein. After keratin has been absorbed, the hair stand is left looking shinier and smoother. 

Anyone with color-treated or chemically-treated hair knows the feeling of breakage and dryness. It almost feels counterintuitive that to get a beautiful new color, it likely requires having dull-looking hair afterwards. Since shampoo, conditioner, masks, and oils are already the staples in your hair routine, you may as well go with Keratin-infused products to avoid frizzy, damaged-looking hair!

KERATIN PRODUCTS BASED ON HAIR NEEDS

Keratin Shampoo & Conditioner

When in doubt, invest in a high-quality shampoo and conditioner, especially one with ingredients that will nourish your hair. The Keratin Shampoo & Conditioner contains ingredients like sunflower seed oil, argan oil, and of course, keratin protein, all of which work together to strengthen and smooth the hair. 

Shampoo is always a product of concern since many shampoos are still made with sulfates and tend to dry out the hair if used too frequently. The Keratin Shampoo and Conditioner are completely sulfate, phosphate, and paraben-free and certainly won’t contribute to drying out your hair!
