The Beautiful Benefits of Keratin for Healthy Hair

Keratin is a basic protein found in the hair, nails, and skin of all mammals.  When the outer layer of keratin is damaged it affects the unprotected new cells beneath it resulting in dry hair, brittle nails, or cracked skin.

Keratin is the building block of our hair, forming the interior structure in the hair cortex and the exterior protection of the hair cuticle. However, with improper hair care including chemical treatments, heat styling, poor water quality, and other environmental factors, keratin can be depleted.  When this happens, the hair’s cortex becomes damaged. 

Fortunately, there are things you can do to replenish keratin and restore hair health!  Here we’ll discuss some of the benefits of keratin and how to incorporate it in your hair care routine.

  • Repairs Hair Structure - Keratin can help repair hair damage from heat styling, chemical processes, and environmental factors by providing moisture to brittle, dry hair strands.  

  • Strengthens Hair - Treating hair from the inside out, keratin strengthens hair by forming protein bonds that help fight future damage.

  • Improves Appearance of Hair - Keratin can make hair straight, soft, and shiny.  With continued use, you’ll see an improvement in the appearance of your hair.  One way to easily incorporate Keratin into your hair care routine regularly is by using shampoo and conditioners infused with Keratin.  We recommend Arganatural Smoothing Keratin Shampoo and Arganatural Smoothing Keratin Conditioner.

  • Repairs Heat Damage - If you use a lot of hot tools to style your hair, there’s a good chance it’s causing some real damage to your hair.  Keratin can help repair and protect your tresses by sealing and coating each strand.  We recommend incorporating Arganatural Strengthening Keratin Treatment Mask to reverse heat damage.  

  • Shine for Colored Hair - If you color your hair, keratin is a great way to restore hair health.  Keratin restores shine and makes colored hair look more healthy and vibrant.
