Keratin miracle cure: How to repair broken hair

Everyone is talking about keratin. It is supposed to smooth, repair and strengthen the hair. But what can this miracle product do and how can you use the keratin treatment for yourself? We introduce you to the different keratin treatments for at home.

Basically, keratin is a family of proteins that are among the most important and versatile compounds ever produced in nature. Our hair, but also our nails and skin, are made of keratin inside and out. On the inside, keratin strengthens the hair; on the surface, it has a protective effect. The hair owes its robustness and durability to keratin.

Mechanical, chemical or external influences such as jerky brushing, too frequent colouring and sun exposure can weaken keratins. When your hair lacks keratin, it becomes brittle, dry and limp. Hair problems like frizz or split ends can also be traced back to keratin deficiency. The keratin in the hair needs to be replenished to repair the hair and make it look smooth and shiny.

In addition to home care, there is also the option of having an intensive keratin treatment done in the salon. The hair is smoothed, strengthened and fortified.
