Keratin is a kind of protein and it is a major component of our skin,hair,nails and teeth. Keratin is made by the combination process of amino acids.

Now, let's discover something about keratin shampoo and creams used in a keratin treatment. How it works ??? 

Keratin hair treatments give you a smooth, straight hair that remains sleek and curl-free for several months. This treatment available at most of the salons  and it can take up to an hour. This process provide double treatments by fortifying the hair through the use of keratin, a natural protein, and then altering the structure of the hair with chemicals in order to make it remain straight.

Keratin is a basic protein found in the bodies of mammals and it is usually present in hair and nails. During keratin treatments, a solution is applied that infuses the hair with keratin, repairing damage and flaws within the hair. Keratin is responsible for increased shine and reduced frizz, but does not directly straighten the hair itself. After the keratin solution is applied, a cocktail of chemicals is added to the hair that creates the straightened effect by semi-permanently altering the hair's structure.
