Beautiful and healthy hair is the hallmark of every woman. Frequent washing of the head, chemical and thermal effects often spoil the curls: the natural shine is lost, they become brittle and porous, the ends split, in general, the appearance of the hair becomes unsightly. The structure of the hair is 97% keratin, which encourages the use of masks based on this component. Revitalizing masks based on keratin restore the structure of the hair, filling it, smoothing and giving incredible shine.

It is known that hair is a keratinized component of our body, but it is it that attracts or repels with its appearance.

In order for the curls to look well-groomed, it is worth providing your body with good nutrition and a complex of useful trace elements, in addition, cosmetic hair care and the use of a keratin mask will never be superfluous.

Indications for use:

  • brittle hair;
  • Split ends;
  • Fluffy or wavy curls;
  • Painted, damaged.

Peculiarities

Hair, skin, nails, more than 90% are composed of protein, and often this element is especially necessary to maintain their beauty and youth. If the body lacks keratin, the usual shine of the hair, its smoothness and density are lost, “fluffiness” appears, the hair becomes electrified and cannot be styled. Masks based on it help to restore the natural supply of keratin - a real "boom" in the world of hairdressing and, including home care.

  • Masks with keratin allow you to restore the hair structure due to the reconstruction of protein molecules: they fill in the "gaps" and form a new "body" of curls;
  • Almost every protein-based mask is restorative - the manufacturer directly writes about this on the packaging;
  • Thanks to the use of the product, the curls become heavier, more obedient, acquire shine, friability;
  • It is worth knowing that keratin "eats" the volume of hair;
  • Keratin mask does not straighten 100%, rather, it smoothes the curls due to their filling and a slight weighting effect. Only keratin straightening can completely straighten hair - a salon procedure based on a special composition and heat treatment;
  • Professional masks with the effect of keratin straightening resemble a salon procedure, but their use is safer and more affordable in home care;
  • Masks with collagen have similar properties: smooth hair, smooth scales and fill them. Collagen is the same protein of excellent structure, it is more suitable for the skin of the face and body, but has found application in cosmetic products for curls;
  • By their type, there are two types of masks: professional and home. Homemade masks, in turn, are divided into store-bought and home-made;
  • The result of using the keratin composition is achieved through regular use of the product. It is this “golden” rule that can guarantee that curls will acquire density, friability, smoothness and shine after course use.

An important feature of a keratin mask can be that its excessive use can lead to brittle hair due to their weighting: naturally thin curls can not bear such their own gravity and simply break.

In addition, protein significantly reduces volume, so the use of the product is indicated for girls with naturally thick hair or those who are not afraid of smooth heavy hair.

Hairdressers recommend using a keratin mask with a break: for example, apply it once a week for 1-2 months, then rest for 30 days and use it again according to the scheme. Do not confuse the mask with keratin straightening: firstly, the mask is not able to smooth out curly and wavy curls by 100%, and secondly, it is safer and does not require heat treatment of curls (if this is not mentioned in the instructions), it does not formaldehyde and other hazardous compounds.

How to apply

A keratin mask will help restore damaged hair, but even its use is justified by a few tips that will help you achieve the most noticeable result:

  • Keratin mask is suitable for absolutely any type of hair: if the scalp is too oily and sensitive, it is better not to apply the composition of the finished product to the dermis itself and start its distribution from the middle of the hair;
  • Keratin care requires regularity, it is then that the effect of home procedures will be noticeable to you and others;
  • Any keratin composition has a rich texture and requires thorough rinsing: do not be too lazy to spend an extra two minutes in the bathroom, then you will get nourished and at the same time not sleek hair;
  • Experts recommend applying a keratin mask under a plastic cap and a warm towel. - this will allow the components of the composition to “open up” under the influence of temperature. Especially this "trick" is relevant for women with severely damaged hair.
  • The exposure time of a keratin mask usually does not exceed 15 minutes, a homemade mixture may have a longer exposure time of 20 minutes.
