keratin

Keratin is one of the numerous proteins that may be found in the human body. This particularly strong substance is specific for hair, skin, nails and teeth. You can imagine keratin as a foil which lies on top of our capillaries, skin or nails in order to protect them from noxious agents. The most amazing thing about keratin is the fact that the foil is entirely made out of dead cells which are eliminated by our organism through sweat.
Although keratin lies at the surface of the skin, it is however the result of our internal cells. For that matter, it is important that we pay attention to our everyday diet in order to stimulate the formation of keratin. Gelatin based food is said to increase the keratin secretion of the body and consequently, improve the condition of our hair, skin and nails.
Your hair is the one that truly needs keratin as it is often subject to numerous destructive habits. Every time you straighten or curl your hair the natural stratum of keratin is destroyed, hence the dull aspect of the capillaries. If these actions continue, the hair will become even frailer and eventually start to break; therefore, it is important that you offer your hair proteins from food or professional hair care products.
If your hair runs out of this protein, the heat or the dye you apply to the capillaries will directly affect the living cells lying at the core of the hair and thus, cause it to break. Luckily, there are numerous professional hair care treatments that contain keratin, so you can always recreate the natural layer of protein. Besides the usual masks, there are salons where hairdressers will apply keratin to your tresses with the help of a hot iron.
No matter how much healthy food you may eat, you still need the help of professional products which are most of the times rich in this protein. The hairdressers in Covent Garden use only such products, so you should consider paying them a visit if you need a helping hand to cure your tresses.…
