Keratin! The moment someone utters this word, the next word that instantly pops into our mind is ‘treatment’, like a keratin treatment. Which is then followed by images of long, silky, straight, nourished hair in our imagination.
Many a times keratin treatment is associated with something luxurious that you would want to indulge in for a special occasion or just another ‘pamper myself’ situation. Fair enough?
But the million-dollar question is, ‘what is keratin actually?’
So, to answer your question in simple words, keratin is actually a protein in nature that makes up your hair, skin and nails naturally. Keratin is also found in your internal organs and glands. Keratin acts like a protective layer that can combat scratching, wearing down or tearing.
Originally keratin used to be derived from feathers, animal horns and wool from different animals. This was later used as an ingredient in hair care products ranging from shampoos, conditioners, hair creams and hair treatments.
But, with new technology and knowledge we now have access to plant protein elements that imitate the original keratin ingredient perfectly. This is a better option because it is vegan, and it does not harm any animal life in the process of acquiring this ingredient for human benefit.
Keratin is a great option to include in your hair care regime because it helps in better absorption and anchors in proteins to damaged and dull hair. It deeply conditions the hair shaft while improving elasticity and also reducing hair fall.
Let’s check out Iba Professional Plant Keratin Range of hair care products below -
