subject: Spruce Your Locks With Keratin [print this page] We do damage to our hair every day, without even thinking about it. Chemical treatments, such as colouring, highlighting, straightening or perming weakens the hair shaft and often leaves it brittle. Add to that heated styling appliances like blow dryers and styling irons and an array of sprays, mousses and other contaminants, and before you know it, hair that was once glossy and lustrous is now lifeless and dull.
It's ironic that we can also buy shine serums to artificially increase the gloss in our hair when we've battered our locks too much.
Our hair needs protein to keep it strong, shiny, manageable and healthy. One of the natural proteins found in our tresses is keratin. When your hair has lost it's natural gloss and endurance from too much damage, a keratin treatment can revitalize it.
Keratin helps to strengthen the hair follicles as well as the shaft to allow hair to grow. It also contributes to the natural shine and bounce, as well as keeping frizzy locks under control. It's widely renowned as a great way to straighten curly or wavy hair without adding harsh chemicals that can promote further destruction of your fragile strands.
This treatment is available at most higher end salons and hairstyling clinics. Those who have undergone a keratin treatment are delighted by the instant shine and gloss that result from the treatment, as well as improved strength and tangle free locks.
While keratin treatments can be costly, the results are well worth it. As a rule, you can expect a single treatment to revitalize your hair and immediately transform it. The effects last for about three to four months, sometimes longer if you proactively engage in protecting your rejuvenated hair.
Keeping your hair in top shape using keratin protein treatments is a great way to reverse the harm caused by pollutants and toxins in the environment. Plus, you'll have beautiful, shiny hair without frizz or tangles.
