Keratin is a naturally occurring protein present in hair, playing a vital role as a fundamental structural component. For this reason, treatments containing keratin are in high demand, as they play a significant role in hair repair and are crucial for overall hair health. This ingredient smoothens and strengthens the hair, providing it with a silky and radiant appearance.
The presence of keratin facilitates hair revitalization by managing frizz, repairing split ends, and neutralizing static, all contributing to achieving well-managed and frizz-free mane.
The producs of the Keratin line by abril et nature contain keratin protein fragments of varying sizes. Some of these fragments are larger, while others are smaller. These variable dimensions enable the products to effectively act on different parts of the hair and within different layers of its structure.
Larger fragments tend to deposit on the external surface of the hair, sealing and repairing the cuticle. On the other hand, smaller fragments have the ability to penetrate the cuticle and reach the interior of the hair fiber, where they can repair and strengthen from the inside out. Together, this combination of keratin protein fragments of different sizes provides a comprehensive and effective hair treatment for various issues like frizz, dryness, and hair damage.
Who is it recommended for?
Ideal for those whose hair has lost shine, texture, and keratin structure due to constant use of heat styling devices.
Additionally, it's an excellent choice for revitalizing dry and damaged hair, especially if it's prone to frizz.
What products does the line contain?
Bain Shampoo Keratin: gently cleanses and regenerates the keratin structure of the hair.
Instant Mask Keratin: softens and restores the damaged keratin layer of the hair.
Keratin Intensive: keratin concentrate that rebuilds keratin structure of the hair fiber while enhancing shine and softness.
Aqua/Water/Eau, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Chloride, Amodimethicone, Hydroxyethylcellulose, Cetyl Esters, Cetrimonium Chloride, Trideceth-12, Citric Acid, Hydrolyzed Keratin, Phenoxyethanol, Potassium Sorbate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Parfum/Fragance, Propylene Glycol, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate.
Apply the product by performing a light massage on the hair. Leave on for a few minutes and rinse with plenty of water.
Keratin Hydrolysate: obtained from sheep wool due to its similarity to human hair. Contains keratin pieces of various sizes. Larger pieces of keratin remain deposited on the cuticle surface repairing it. Smaller pieces penetrate through the cuticle to inside the cortex and help rejuvenate it.
Positively Charged Conditioners: consists of two parts: one part that contains the positive charge neutralizes the negative charge of the hair fiber, eliminating static electricity and preventing frizz; another part, that is emollient (softening) and similar to the natural lipids of our scalp, provides moisture nourishing and conditioning the hair.
Nutritious Oils of Vegetable Origin: mostly derived from coconut. Present as tiny droplets in the composition of a shampoo or a cream. When the product is applied, those oil droplets deposit on the hair fiber surface creating a thin moisturizing and nourishing film around the hair.
How can I determine if my hair needs a keratin boosting mask?
There are certain signs that might indicate your hair requires keratin, such as lack of shine, appearance of split ends, hair breakage, or a rough and brittle texture. If you're experiencing any of these symptoms, we recommend using hair care products containing keratin to help strengthen and repair damaged hair.
What causes keratin loss in hair?
Keratin loss in hair can result from several factors, including genetics, environmental stressors, nutritional deficiencies, and medical conditions. Genetics influence how much keratin your body naturally produces and how well your hair retains it. Environmental factors like excessive heat styling, UV exposure, and pollution can damage the hair's outer layer, the cuticle, leading to keratin loss. Inadequate nutrition, particularly a lack of protein and essential vitamins like biotin, can hinder the body's ability to produce sufficient keratin. Certain medical conditions such as autoimmune disorders, hormonal imbalances, and chronic illnesses can disrupt hair's keratin synthesis. Additionally, aging can contribute to reduced keratin levels as the body's overall production capacity declines over time. Proper hair care, a balanced diet, and medical guidance can help mitigate these factors and maintain optimal keratin levels in your hair.
Do all hair types have the same keratin structure?
Not all hair types have the same keratin structure. Hair can differ in terms of thickness, texture, elasticity, and other factors that can impact its structure. Thus, it's important to select hair care products that cater to your hair's specific needs to achieve optimal results. Some products contain various protein types and other beneficial ingredients, especially useful for certain hair types like fine, damaged, or curly hair.
