What Is Keratin?

Keratin is basically a type of fibrous protein which is found naturally in our body. Keratins can be found in our hair strands, nails and also in other things like wool, claws etc. This protein is the foundation of our hairs as it helps in building the outer layer. 

So when we start losing Keratin, our hairs start becoming dull and weak & therefore it is very important to restore the lost keratin.

You can also opt for at-salon keratin treatments to get a dose of it. Many big names like Jawed Habib and Loreal offer this service.
