What is Plant Keratin?

Why Use Plant Keratin?

Benefits of Plant Keratin - 

• Strengthens hair: Plant keratin goes to the root of the hair shaft to strengthen and improve it, reducing breakage and split ends.
  
  
• Restores elasticity: Over time, hair can become brittle (very loose, without energy, looks bland) and lose its elasticity. Plant keratin helps to regain elasticity and bounce to your hair, makes the hair look healthy and vibrant.
  
  
• Protects hair: Plant keratin creates a protective barrier around each hair, protecting it from environmental damage and heat styling tools like curling irons and such.
  
  
• Increases shine: Plant keratin smooths the hair cuticle (outermost layer), resulting in shinier, more lustrous (thick) hair.

How to Incorporate Plant Keratin in Hair Care: 

1. Shampoos and Conditioners: Plant keratin is a common ingredient in shampoos and conditioners designed to nourish and strengthen hair. Look for products that highlight plant-derived keratin on their ingredient lists.

2. Hair Masks and Treatments: Intensive hair masks and treatments infused with plant keratin offer deep nourishment, particularly beneficial for damaged or stressed hair.
