Keratin is a 90% protein base of the hair structure, which can be destroyed as a result of the aggressive influence of various factors. It is the sufficient content of keratin in the hair that makes them strong, silky and shiny. Therefore, in case of a shortage of keratin, it is possible to replenish the supply of this component with the help of keratin treatment. The most extreme measure is the need to cut long curls. But this trouble can be avoided if a special restorative procedure is started on time.
Keratin treatment uses cosmetics based on natural components that do not have a negative effect on the hair. Keratin, protein and a number of nutrients form the basis of this treatment complex. In fact, this is a ‘liquid version of hair’, since our hair is 88% keratin. Its molecules, having a small size, are able to penetrate deep into the hair cuticle, improving its structure from the inside and providing protection from negative external influences and stress.
What are the advantages of such masks?
The compositions of professional keratin masks saturate the hair with a substance such as a ceramide, which has a unique ability to restore its structure. Small particles of ceramide fill the pores destroyed as a result of the pathogenic effect of the void in the curls. The benefits of keratin treatment for curly hair:
- helps the restoration of the porous structure;
- copes with the problem of split ends, restoring natural shine, smoothness, and elasticity to curls;
- have a straightening effect, creating the effect of lamination;
- due to the fact that it contains natural protein, this helps prevent hair loss;
- curls become more obedient and as smooth as possible, which greatly facilitates the styling process;
- gives a volume that lasts for a long time;
- strengthens the structure of curls, creating a protective film on them.
Professional masks can be purchased at specialized cosmetic stores at an affordable cost. As a rule, all products for professional hair care are sold in large volumes of 500-1000 ml, which will last for a long time.
The result of the procedure directly depends on compliance with the rules for the preparation and use of the mixture. First of all, find out how to use a keratin hair mask, because there are several nuances in its application that other similar products do not have. As protein is a building material, in some cases it can make the strands too heavy and lead to their total loss. Read the instructions attentively.
It is worth considering the fact that such production strengthens only the outer shell of the hair, while inside it remains damaged. To completely get rid of this problem, it is not enough to use only keratin treatment for curly hair or straight one, because for this you need to completely revise your own diet. The lack of keratin in the body instantly negatively affects the appearance — the layering of the nails begins, hair growth slows down, and the strands become weakened and brittle.
