Keratin hair mask
Beautiful and healthy hair is the business card of every woman. Frequent washing of the head, chemical and thermal effects often spoil the curls: the natural luster is lost, they become brittle and porous, the tips split off, and the overall appearance of the hair becomes unsightly. The hair structure is 97% keratin, which encourages the use of masks based on this component. Keratin-based regenerating masks restore the structure of the hair filling it, smooth and give an incredible shine.
It is known that hair is the horny component of our body, but it is it that attracts or repels with its appearance.
In order for the curls to look well-groomed, it is worthwhile to provide your body with proper nutrition and a complex of beneficial microelements, moreover, cosmetic cosmetic hair care and the use of a keratin mask will never be a shame.
Indications for use:
- Fragile hair;
- Split ends;
- Fluffy or wavy curls;
- Painted, damaged.
Features
Hair, skin, nails, more than 90% consist of protein, and often this element is especially necessary to preserve their beauty and youth. If the body lacks keratin, the habitual shine of hair is lost, their smoothness and density, "fluffiness" appears, the hair is electrified and cannot be styled. Masks based on it help to restore the natural reserve of keratin - a real “boom” in the world of hairdressing, including home care.
- Masks with keratin allow you to restore the structure of the hair by reconstructing protein molecules: they fill the “gaps” and form a new “body” of curls;
- Virtually every mask on the basis of protein restoring - the manufacturer writes about this directly on the package;
- Thanks to the use of the product, the curls become heavier, obedient, gain shine, friability;
- It is worth knowing that keratin "eats" the volume of hair;
- Keratin mask does not straighten to 100%rather, it smoothes the curls due to their filling and a slight weighting effect. Fully straighten hair under the force only keratin straightening - salon procedure based on a special composition and heat treatment;
- Professional masks with keratin straightening effect resemble a salon procedure, but their use is safer and more affordable in home care;
- Collagen masks have similar properties: smooth hair, smooth scales and fill them. Collagen is the same protein of excellent structure, it is more suitable for the skin of the face and body, but has found application in cosmetic products for curls;
- According to their type of mask there are two types: professional and home. Homemade masks, in turn, are divided into store and own cooking;
- The result of the use of keratin composition is achieved through regular use of the product. It is this “golden” rule that can guarantee that the curls will become dense, crumbly, smooth and shiny after course use.
An important feature of the keratin mask can be that its excessive use can lead to brittle hair due to their weighting: by nature, thin curls can not bear the same gravity and just break.
In addition, the protein significantly reduces the volume, so the use of the product is indicated for girls with naturally thick hair or those who are not afraid of smooth heavy hair.
Hairdressers recommend using a keratin mask with a break: for example, apply it once a week for 1-2 months, then rest for 30 days and use it again. Do not confuse the mask with a keratin straightening: firstly, the mask is not able to smooth curly and wavy curls by 100%, secondly - it is safer and does not require heat treatment of curls (if not mentioned in the instructions), it is not formaldehyde and other hazardous compounds.
How to apply
Keratin mask will help to restore damaged hair, but even its use is justified by several tips that will help to achieve the most noticeable result:
- Keratin mask is suitable for absolutely any type of hair: if the composition of the finished product is too oily and sensitive to the scalp, it is better not to apply it to the dermis itself and to begin its distribution from the middle of the hair;
- Keratin care requires regularity, it is then that the effect of home treatments will be noticeable to you and others;
- Any keratin composition has a rich texture and requires thorough rinsing: do not be lazy to spend the extra two minutes in the bathroom, then you will get saturated and not slicked hair;
- Experts recommend applying a keratin mask under a plastic cap and a warm towel - This will allow the components of the composition to "open up" under the action of temperature. Especially this "trick" is relevant for women with heavily damaged hair.
- The dwell time of a keratin mask usually does not exceed 15 minutes, a homemade mixture can have a longer duration of exposure - 20 minutes.
