Hydrolyzed keratin protein
Skim through
What it does: moisturizer/humectant, antistatic, film forming, conditioning
The science
Hydrolyzed keratin protein helps fill the minor gaps throughout the hair shaft, including its three layers - the medulla, cortex and cuticle. When it fills these microscopic gaps, hair gets the strength to minimize damage from chemical treatments, heat styling, mechanical manipulation and the sun.
Benefits for your hair
Prevents frizz and breakage
Hydrolyzed keratin increases smoothness and elasticity with its moisture-binding abilities, thereby also reducing frizz, breakage, and static.
Promotes thickness
Hydrolyzed keratin helps rebuild the hair’s natural protective layer from the inside by increasing the diameter of each strand. This gives a fuller appearance and replaces lost protein. It also increases volume, strengthens your hair, and restores luster.
Promotes shine
It creates a protective barrier on the hair, simultaneously imparts shine.
Promotes curl formation
Keratin absorption has been found to increase the strength and elasticity of hair fibers, which means better curl formation.
TLDR
Hydrolyzed keratin is a great conditioner that increases the smoothness and shine of hair. It reduces frizz and breakage, promotes curl formation and increases the thickness and health of hair.
