Kératin, what is it?
Made by the body, this protein combines 19 amino acids and is in the composition of nails, skin, hair and teeth enamel. It is also the most important component of a healthy hair since our hair fiber is only made up of that!
It is found in the three layers of the hair: the marrow and the cortex (the interior layers) and the cuticle (the outer layer, composed of scales similar to small fine and flat tiles).
Why is keratin important?
Keratin plays an essential role in hair health:
- Protection and elasticity
Keratin acts as a protective film allowing scales to be perfectly intertwined with each other so that the cuticle is resistant, willed and protected from external attacks (pollution, UV rays, etc.).
-
Shine, volume and strength
With a good concentration of keratin, the cuticle of the hair is smooth and reflects the light. The hair is shiny, it has volume and it is full of vitality.
Why do we often lack keratin?
Smoothing, coloring, hair dryer or straightening iron, limestone water, UV rays, pollution ... The hair is abused and the cuticle is quickly weakened by all these attacks. Little by little, the keratin is deteriorated and the hair is weakened: it becomes dry, brittle, dull and flat, and forks appear.
The catch: once the hair is made up, Keratin is not renewed ! If the hair is attacked and lacks keratin, it will not recover better health naturally.
The only solution: to bring him keratin differently!
How to strengthen the hair thanks to keratin?
To repair already damaged hair or to take care of your daily hair in a preventive way, you can:- Use keratin -enriched care such as shampoos, masks or oils. Make sure they are just dosed so as not to stifle the hair and use them rather in cure to prevent the hair fiber from getting used to it.
- Opt for food supplements. By feeding the hair from the inside, you strengthen it in depth. Unlike care that acts mainly on the outer layer of the hair, you increase the keratin rate here in a global way.
To date, the best source of keratin and the most studied on humans is the Cynatine® HNS. It is she that you find in Krynéo cures for an optimal, quality keratin intake and with proven results.
