As is clear from the name of such funds, they contain such a component as keratin. Few people know, but keratin is a type of protein. He is natural protein of high strength, which is present in the basis of the structure of human hair. Often, modern ladies are faced with excessive fragility and dryness of curls, and someone constantly exposes them to contact with aggressive paints or hot irons / curling irons.
In all these and similar cases without adequate and proper care, hair will quickly lose health and lose its former attractiveness. This is where a high-quality and safe keratin shampoo comes to the rescue.
These popular shampoos contain natural active ingredients. It is their presence that primarily distinguishes keratin products from simple and cheaper ones. Protein, as a natural natural building material for hair, always has a positive effect on its condition and structure.
According to customer reviews, their hair, literally from the first applications of such shampoos, acquired a beautiful shine and began to seem more well-groomed.

There are such important components in keratin shampoos.
- Ceramides and prokeratins. These beneficial ingredients are aimed at accelerating hair growth. Thanks to them, the curls become smoother, more manageable and voluminous.
- Proteins. These components were mentioned above. These components are especially necessary for women who naturally have sensitive scalp. Thanks to their mild detergent composition and their multitasking properties, proteins provide active care for dry, damaged and lifeless strands. In addition, proteins perfectly protect hair from the harmful effects of negative external factors.
- Plant extracts, arginine oils, amaranth oils. These components are responsible for stimulating vasodilation, while improving blood circulation. Also, these components accelerate the processes of hair nutrition, prolonging their youth. The restoration of curls is also accelerated.
If the keratin shampoo contains oils, extracts and amino acids, then there is no doubt about its effectiveness. Avoid products containing parabens, fragrances or sulfates. The impact of the latter on the hair is always negative.

Benefit and harm
Many brands make quality keratin shampoos. You can buy them at a specialty beauty store or pharmacy. But before you go shopping for these highly effective and demanded products, you should find out what are their advantages and disadvantages.
Modern keratin shampoos can bring not only benefits, but also cause some harm to hair.

First, let's see how these tools can be useful.
- Protein shampoos gently cleanse the hair of any impurities. This also applies to the scalp. That is why experts and doctors advise using such formulations for women suffering from increased skin sensitivity.
- After dyeing and straightening in the salon, the effect will last much longer if you use keratin shampoos.
- Thanks to such cosmetics, a natural protective barrier forms on the hair, preventing the negative effects of aggressive external factors on the hair.
- When using these shampoos, the hair becomes more manageable and neat, as the hair scales stick together.
- Hair treated with keratin shampoo is easier to style. Beautiful hairstyles of various shapes on such hairs look more attractive and last longer.
- Thanks to the keratin shampoo, hair is easier to comb and less tangled.
- Even if you quit using such a good and effective remedy, the effect of its use will last long enough. According to experts, if we are talking about a high-quality branded shampoo, the result will last for 4-6 months after it is canceled.

Such cosmetics have a lot of advantages. That is why they are used by many young ladies who want to give their hair a healthy shine, make them more manageable and smooth. However, one must bear in mind the fact that too long use of such formulations can lead to a noticeable weighting of the hair, and this is especially harmful if they are naturally too oily.

Keratin shampoos have to be chosen especially carefully. Due attention should be paid to their composition. In no case should these products contain sulfates - the composition should be natural and safe. Often on the shelves you can find simple shampoos, the content of which does not contain keratin, but they are issued as keratin ones and cost accordingly. In order not to buy the "wrong" product, you should contact trusted stores and select branded products.
It is also worth considering that keratin shampoos can negatively affect oily hair. If you use such formulations often, then the oily strands will soon become unnecessarily heavy, which ladies notice right away. Such consequences can negatively affect the structure of the hair.

Operating principle
There are no specific features in the use of keratin shampoos. They are used in the same way as ordinary sulfate compositions, to which everyone has long been accustomed. However, the exposure time for keratin variants is different. Immediately after applying to the hair, many experts advise holding the composition for 6-8 minutes. This time will be quite enough for the protein shampoo to fully penetrate the hair structure.
Protein is a very important component of modern keratin shampoos. This constituent, in contact with damaged hair, fills in the damage to the structure of the latter. In addition, at this time, the hair is actively nourished with useful microelements of natural origin.
According to experienced hairdressers and stylists, modern keratin shampoos can compete in efficiency and quality with many salon services.

Instructions for use
Keratin shampoos should be used in the same way as with conventional formulations. True, some experts argue that it is advisable to warm up these funds a little before using.
Apply keratin shampoo to damp hair. As a rule, due to the absence of sulfates, such products foam very weakly, so their consumption is not always economical. Shampoo will need to be distributed over the hair and scalp, rub in with massaging movements. The composition should foam. After application, it is advisable to hold the shampoo on the hair for a while (no more than 8 minutes). Then it is simply washed off with warm water.
