Kapous Magic Keratin shampoo: composition features, pros and cons, use
Keratin is an important component of hair, which provides them with strength and healthy appearance. If the curls for some reason lose part of the keratin, problems begin: hair breakage, dullness, dryness, curls become disobedient, confused and pushes, and the ends begin to split.
The solution may be the procedure of keratin hair restoration, during which the curls will be filled with keratin again and will acquire a protective layer that prevents mechanical damage. In the conditions of the house, it is sometimes difficult to perform it, and in the cabin it is expensive. In this case, an excellent alternative to the procedure can be the use of care formulations for curls, which directly includes keratin.
The release of this kind of products is engaged in the brand Kapous Professional. The company's specialists have created a whole line of keratin-based hair care products, called Magic Keratin.
The main feature of this series is to restore by filling damaged hair with keratin.
The line includes a lot of products (masks, balms, serums, lotions, fluids for the tips), but in this material we will talk about shampoo.
Description
Magic Keratin is part of the Fragrance Free series, which is distinguished by the absence of perfumed fragrances or additives in the composition of the products.
Kapous Magic Keratin shampoo is available in two formats: a bottle of 300 ml and 1000 ml. Large volume will be more profitable purchase. But if there is no certainty that the shampoo will do, you can start with a small volume and thus evaluate the product.
The shampoo has a pleasant texture: not very liquid, so as not to spread instantly, but not too thick to facilitate removal from the bottle.
The absence of fragrances and additives made the shampoo completely transparent and virtually odorless.
Composition
As noted above, the shampoo does not contain fragrances, parabens, and sulfates. This tool can be used independently, and you can apply it after keratinizing hair, to further prolong the effect of the procedure.
In addition to keratin, shampoo has in its composition and such components: vitamin E, fruit acids, extracts of various oils. They provide nutrition to locks, protect them from mechanical damage and negative external influences, give them tone and strength.
Also in the shampoo includes soft surfactants, whose main task is to gently cleanse the scalp and hair along the entire length.
The manufacturer claims that the product also contains polysaturated amino acids, which are designed not only to nourish the scalp, but also to prevent the accumulation of free radicals on it.
Advantages and disadvantages
An important advantage of Magic Keratin regenerating shampoo is that it takes care of your hair with each hair wash. It does not require additional actions - the restoration of curls occurs with the implementation of standard care.
Keratin shampoo gently, but rather deeply cleanses the hair and scalp thanks to a specially selected complex, whose main task is not only to clean the curls, but also to ensure the penetration of the active substances of the shampoo into each hair.
The undeniable advantage is the effect of healthy curls, which persists until the next shampooing.
The use of shampoo makes the curls more docile and silky than it facilitates grooming them, any styling and combing.
Since keratin is a natural component of curls, the advantage of shampoo can be called the fact that it is embedded in the hair and works from the inside. Thus, the active components continue to work on the restoration even when the shampoo itself is already washed off.
The composition of the Magic Keratin can be attributed to its merits: it is free from fragrances, parabens and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) - standard sulfate, which is present in the composition of almost all mass-market shampoos. However, Magic Keratin includes another sulfate - Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate.
The disadvantages also include the relative high cost of the product from Kapous: its price exceeds the average cost of a standard shampoo with sulphates.
Before using the tool you need to consider that sulphate-free shampoos do not foam as abundantly as the most common meanscontaining Sodium Lauryl Sulfate. For some, this is a significant disadvantage of the product. But this is not only a feature of Kapous sulfate-free shampoo, but also of any other similar product. This must be taken into account before switching to a composition of this type.
There are cases of individual intolerance to the components that make up the shampoo, which can lead to undesirable consequences, such as hair loss or obvious allergic reactions: itching, redness, peeling of the skin and others. therefore experts insist on doing a test of the product on a small area of skin before starting to use.
Due to the fact that the tool foams worse than the usual sulphate shampoo, Magic Keratin consumption will be slightly higher than usual, especially if you need to wash long hair.
Magic Keratin is not recommended for use by owners of hair with fat content, as it can aggravate this problem.
Who is suitable?
Sulfate-free Magic Keratin shampoo is primarily created for dry curls and hair with split ends. The main task of the tool is to restore the curls. And he can even restore hair damaged during dyeing, perm, straightening. So says the manufacturer.
Also keratin shampoo suitable for strands that have become lifeless, dull, very confused and push. He will make them shiny, obedient and soft again.
Those who constantly style their hair or use a curling iron can also choose Magic Keratin shampoo. It nourishes and moisturizes the hair and prevents high-temperature damage. But even when using this product you should not neglect the means for thermal protection of the hair.
Magic Keratin will be a good choice for owners of long thin hair who have difficulty with tangled strands and the inability to comb them. Shampoo helps to make hair soft and easy to comb, even when wet.
How to use?
The manufacturer recommends washing the curls twice for effective shampoo and a positive result. The first time you need to apply the product to wet hair, lather and rinse. This is necessary in order to clean the curls from all the dirt: dust, secretions of sebaceous glands, residues of styling.
At the same time, it is not necessary to massage the skin too much, as non-removed dirt can be absorbed even more into the hair.
Rinse off thoroughly with warm water before reapplying.
The second time the shampoo is applied again on the strands, it foams and is left for 3-5 minutes. During this time, the active components of the product will open the hair scales and penetrate inside to restore the keratin from the inside. After exposure means on the head you need to wash it off. If the hair requires additional conditioning, hair should be applied balm.
If you do not follow the instructions prescribed by the manufacturer, do not hope for a quick result. Keratin takes time to penetrate the hair. Therefore, the shampoo requires some exposure time, as it usually happens with balms or hair masks. The active substance must reach the core of the hair and begin to act.
To achieve a stronger effect, the manufacturer recommends using Magic Keratin line-ups along with other shampoos as well.
