What is keratin?

Keratin can be found in hair and nails. It's a building protein of skin derivatives that makes up 88% of the hair structure and is responsible for their quality, growth, firmness, softness and shine. Keratin consists mainly of amino acids. People come into contact with it mainly in the form of dead cells. It sounds a bit morbid, but hair, nails and horned skin are really dead tissue. Live cells can be found in the hair bulb and nail bed. What further grows is inanimate tissue, which, when properly nourished, acts as a protection for the skin and also looks nice. 

What is Brazilian keratin?

It is a purely natural product that was developed in 2006 in Brazil. This non-chemical product containing keratin is intended for shaping and regenerating hair and especially for their long-term straightening. Keratin molecules penetrate the inner part of the hair by ironing and repair its damage. You will notice the results immediately after application and they last for at least 3-4 months. The hair is after application strengthened and protected from UV radiation, wind, frost or even sea and chlorinated water. Brazilian keratin is suitable for fine, damaged, curly, elongated, hard, unruly and coarse hair. Thanks to its properties you don't have to be afraid to use it on chemically treated or colored hair.
