Keratin Shampoos

Salon-quality keratin shampoo can extend the life of keratin treatments and nourish, protect and replenish dry or damaged hair. It also has a smoothing effect, for hair that’s sleek, shiny and frizz-free.

What is good quality keratin shampoo?

As with all hair and skin care products, it is the quality of the active ingredient in keratin shampoo that is key.

In its natural state, keratin is the foundation protein of our hair, skin and nails.  When used in hair products, the hydrolysed keratin typically found in Brazilian keratin shampoo is renowned for its quality and efficacy.

Due to its structure, hydrolysed keratin attaches to the shafts more easily to strengthen and soften hair. This type of keratin protein is not derived from animals. It is synthesised from wheat, maize or soy, to deliver a cruelty-free keratin shampoo suitable for vegans.

A second indication of quality is the amount of active keratin amino acids used in the formulation of hair keratin shampoos. The higher the quantity, the more superior the product.

Benefits of using keratin shampoo

Hair dyes, colourants, chemical treatments and heat styling tools deplete the naturally occurring keratin in hair. The cuticles typically dry out and break, leading to frizzy, unmanageable locks.

The use of a protein-based shampoo replenishes keratin levels. Hair can become stronger, shinier, healthier and more flexible.
