Ingredient Spotlight Pt.4: Hydrolyzed Keratin

Monday, September 19, 2016

What is Hydrolyzed Keratin?

Amino acids broken down small enough to penetrate and adhere to the hair shaft providing it with strength and protection against damage.

What does it do for the hair?

Due to its low molecular weight, Hydrolyzed Keratin provides temporary repair to damaged hair by filling in the cracks along the hair shaft caused by i.e. chemical treatments, excessive direct heat, manipulation etc. Hydrolyzed Keratin will fortify and strengthen the hair by penetrating into cuticle and cortex of the hair shaft. Due to its moisture binding capabilities, Hydrolyzed Keratin increases the moisture content in the hair, restores shine and body, increases elasticity, reduces breakage and increases manageability. Hydrolyzed Keratin is a necessary component in keeping your hair healthy.

  2. I use the Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor and it really makes a difference for me. My hair feels moisturized, softer and easier to comb. I try to never run out of it!
