You are probably familiar with the fact that collagen can be a very beneficial supplement for one’s skin, bones, and muscles. However, many of us are missing the opportunity to use this gem to help improve our hair health, especially if mixed with keratin.
What is collagen?
Collagen is sometimes called the glue that holds everything together and it is found in nearly every cell in our bodies. Collagen is solely responsible for maintaining the elasticity of the skin, and it contains three important essential amino acids: lysine, proline, and glycine. Our body produces collagen, but as we get older, our natural collagen production slows down.
What is keratin?
Keratin is the primary component of hair fibers and its responsibility is to maintain the healthy structure of hair. Keratin-infused hair care products are usually used to replenish lost keratin and strengthen the hair temporarily. Keratin treatments temporarily tame frizziness, straighten hair, and add a gorgeous shine to it.
Therefore, hair specialists have come up with a brilliant idea: bring collagen and keratin together! The primary purpose of these types of treatments is not to straighten the hair, but to bring your hair back to its naturally healthy condition, making it feel soft and frizz-free.
Keratin treatments with collagen are suitable for any hair type but are most effective on damaged, dry, and overly porous hair.
Here is how keratin-collagen treatments will affect your hair:
- Keratin-collagen treatments will deeply repair damaged hair, reduce breakage and split ends, and recover the strength and elasticity of hair fibers.
- Keratin-collagen treatments will replenish hair strands with protein and moisture. This will make your hair appear more youthful and healthier.
- The infusion of keratin and collagen smoothens out the ruffled cuticle layer to lock the moisture into the hair. This will help to diminish frizz and make your style more resistant to humidity.
So if you are struggling with damaged, dry, and overly porous hair or you want to give your hair new shine and bring it back to life, you should give keratin‑collagen treatments a try.
