Luxury is becoming more democratic. A few months ago, to enjoy the benefits of keratin, you had to go to the salon and spend at least 200 €. Keratin has now infiltrated many hair products for use at home. Shampoos, conditioners, masks, and sprays .... we are spoiled for choice.
Decoding of Myriam K , queen of hairdressing and inventor of French smoothing, on these new super hair care.
Why does keratin have such an effect on the hair?
Keratin is a protein found in our hair, but also in our skin and nails. It gives our hair its shine and flexibility , which is why there is no better restorative and restorative care than those based on keratin.
Shampoos, conditioners, masks or care without rinse with keratin, all rely on the same principle: to reinject keratin in the most weakened and damaged places of the hair fiber to smooth it and to repair it. Yes, over the washings, brushings, colorations, hair lose in keratin and are much more fragile and rough.
What are the capillary promises of this keratin care?
From the first use, detangling, styling and brushing are easier and the hair is much brighter. There is a real before-after effect. After 4 or 5 uses, there is a marked decrease of the forks and a silky touch to the tips of the tips. The hair is repaired, nourished and supple.
If there are whole ranges constructed around this asset, one places especially on the masks and the sprays which are more concentrated in keratin than the shampoos.
When to use keratin care on her hair?
- All year round to restore strength, shine and suppleness to very dry, fragile and sensitized hair.
- In cure, after the summer , to repair hair damaged by salt, sun and chlorine pool.
- After a smoothing in the living room to prolong its effects as long as possible.
How to apply a mask to keratin to get a maximum of benefits?
The key word: spin . The less our hair contains water and moisture, the more care and keratin will penetrate the fiber. And for that nothing is better than to keep a towel at hand.
Another tip: divide the lengths into two parts and apply the care to keratin on each of the two sections. Let stand for between 5 and 15 minutes .
What about the keratin spray? Same, spinning is paramount. And for a homogeneous diffusion of the keratin, comb the lengths . The roots are avoided except on very curly hair.
