Liquid keratin for hair: properties and application

To maintain the health and beauty of hair created a lot of tools. To restore the damaged hair, you can go to a beauty salon or try to “revive” the curls at home. The first option is financially costly, which is why an increasing number of women treat their hair on their own. For these purposes, various drugs are used. Of the many therapeutic and regenerating compositions, liquid keratin for hair is distinguished by good efficacy. Consider its advantages and disadvantages, forms of release and rules of application.

Keratin is the component from which a person's hair consists of 80-90%. It is synthesized in the body by the cells keratonicides. This component is one of the main components of the outer hair membrane. Due to his hair become resistant to the effects of wind, the effects of excessively high and low temperatures and other negative influences. With a shortage of keratin or a decrease in its hair, the hair thinning, curls become brittle, a number of related problems appear. To eliminate the deficit of natural keratin, you can use an artificial composition created by people. It is produced in the laboratory through the processing of sheep wool. This substance contains the following beneficial ingredients:

• cysteine;
• various amino acids;
• vitamin and mineral substances.

Keratin is sold in pharmacies or specialized stores offering professional hair care cosmetics. This substance is commercially available in two varieties:

• spray;
• oily suspension.

Liquid sprays are bottled in containers with different volumes. Usually they are applied to the hair before styling or before applying ploek and irons. Keratin in the form of a spray is not particularly popular due to inefficiency. Oily suspensions are placed in ampoules or containers with dispenser.

Means in ampoule containers are intended for single use. Once opened, they cannot be stored. Dispenser bottles are more convenient to use. Thanks to one or several clicks, optimum application of the substance is ensured.

Keratin is necessary for those hairs that lack it. The amount of this component decreases with:

• chemical perms;
• staining;
• using various thermometers for hair.

Keratin production is reduced during stresses, frequent depressive states, unbalanced nutrition, and inadequate sleep. Often, its decline is associated with poor ecology or the use of low-quality products. If one or more of these factors are present, the hair quickly loses its health and attractive appearance.

In the absence of proper care and ignoring measures to restore the hair, curls can start to fall out, look lifeless, dull and brittle at the ends. If the hair began to split, “climb”, lost luster and thinned - it is likely that they lack keratin.

Liquid keratin has certain pros and cons, which must be read before using it. Consider the advantages of this component. These include:

• easy application - liquid keratin is easily distributed over the entire length of the hair in a uniform layer;
• rapid absorption - fluid formulations more easily penetrate damaged hair layers;
• restoration of hair "from the inside";
• nutrition of hair, the return of their radiant appearance and health;
• prevent the "electrification" strands;
• improvement of the hair structure, the effect of their straightening;
• stimulation of the production of natural protein.

Products based on natural protein are used not only for the treatment of hair, but also for prevention. There is a liquid keratin and some flaws. To one of them carry the weighting of the hair, because of which the tool should not be used on too weak and thinned curls. In this case, their more intensive confluence may occur. In addition, the disadvantages include:

• rapid pollution of hair after using keratin formulations;
• the presence of formaldehyde in the media, which adversely affects human health;
• possible occurrence of dizziness and weakness.

Sometimes an allergic reaction to the funds occurs, so a test must be carried out before use. For this, a drop of the product is applied on the inside of the elbow. In the absence of redness, burning or other manifestations, keratin can be safely used.

Pharmacies offer a variety of keratin-based products. They contain different percentages of this component. Here are the most popular brands.

Means in ampoules. Designed to restore hair after perm, dyeing and other procedures that destroy the hair structure. In addition to keratin, the drug contains glutamic and aspartic acids.

DNC is a drug with a high percentage of keratin. Actively nourishes and moisturizes the hair. The product is not washed off after application.

Helso - keratin-based serum. Used to saturate the bulbs with nutrients, giving the hair shine. Promotes "soldering" split ends, restores water balance.

MCY is a dispenser designed for dry, dull and lifeless hair. The oily suspension is indicated for moisturizing and restoring damaged hair. In addition to keratin, the product includes vitamins and minerals, biopolymer additives, various amino acids.

For keratin hair treatments to be effective, some simple tips need to be followed. If you use the drug in ampoules, you must:

• shake the contents of the container thoroughly (until the composition is homogeneous);
• incise vial on the edge;
• Pour the contents into the usual hair mask (to enrich its composition);
• distribute the tool over the entire head and the length of the curls with smooth massaging movements;
• after 10 minutes rinse with warm water.

Sprays should be spread on clean, wet strands. The fact is that the dirty hair is covered with a greasy film (sebum), which will prevent the penetration of nutrients into the thickness of the hair.

After applying keratin formulations, you should carefully monitor the condition of the curls - if they become bold or weighted, you need to reduce the amount of funds. In addition, it is important to adhere to the recommended usage schedule.

Over time, excess keratin will accumulate on the hair and skin, forming a dense shell. Air cannot pass through it, leading to seborrhea, scalp irritation and other problems. Hair at the same time will seem greasy and untidy.

Many women carry out various experiments with their hair - dye them with chemically aggressive substances, curl them with curling irons, straighten them with irons, make chemical perms. After these effects, the state of the curls noticeably deteriorates. In pursuit of beauty, some women try to restore their health and shine with liquid keratin.

Those who have already used the keratin composition, note that the hair becomes more silky and docile. After several times of use, some manage to get rid of the washcloth on the head. Curls gain strength and shine.

The disadvantages of liquid keratin include its quick washing with shampoos with a high percentage of sulphates. To avoid this, you should choose low-sulphate hair care products.
