Keratin: The Key Protein for Hair, Skin, and Nails
Keratin is a vital protein that forms the foundation of your hair, skin, and nails. In hair, keratin plays a dual role: it protects the outer layer (cuticle) and is a critical structural component of the inner layer (cortex). However, keratin can degrade due to physical damage, chemical treatments, or environmental factors such as UV rays.
When keratin is lost, the cortex of the hair becomes damaged, creating porosity similar to potholes on a road. This leads to weak, fragile hair that lacks its natural smoothness and shine. Restoring lost keratin can fill these "potholes," repairing the hair’s surface, and revitalizing its strength, elasticity, and youthful, healthy appearance.
Post-Treatment Hair Care Tips:
For the first 72 hours after using keratin treatments:
Avoid water exposure: Do not let your hair get wet or use regular shampoo.
Handle with care: If your hair gets wet, blow-dry it immediately and gently straighten it with a flat iron on low heat to restore smoothness.
Keep your hair loose: Avoid tying, pinning, or clipping your hair, and don't place sunglasses on your head.
After the initial 72 hours, follow these steps:
Use shampoos, conditioners, treatments, and styling products recommended by your hairstylist to maintain the longevity and effectiveness of the keratin treatment
