Keratin is a protein that serves as the structural building block of our hair, skin, and nails. In hair care, it is used as a treatment that smoothens and improves shine in our hair strands. Salons offer keratin treatments, sometimes called a Brazilian blowout, to make hair look straighter and softer. Because these treatments don’t come cheap plus we’ve been staying home and can’t easily go to the salon nowadays, at-home keratin shampoos have become highly sought-after. Here’s a sneak peek of a product that will change your hair care routine for the better.

Since it can take a bit of time, an appointment is advisable. At the salon, you’ll get your hair washed, and the stylist will comb the treatment onto your wet hair. It’ll sit for around 30 minutes, and then the stylist will dry your hair and press section-by-section with a flat iron to seal in the treatment.

By infusing the hair with keratin and ironing it in place, the overlapping cells that comprise our hair strands are smoothed out. This gives hair a lot of shine and a lot less frizz. If you don't wash your hair daily, your salon-smooth hair can last for up to six months.
