Anyway, for thoes who don't know what keratin actually is.
Keratin is an extremely strong protein which is a major component in skin, hair, nails, hooves, horns, and teeth. The amino acids which combine to form keratin have several unique properties, and depending on the levels of the various amino acids, keratin can be inflexible and hard, like hooves, or soft, as is the case with skin. Most of the keratin that people interact with is actually dead; hair, skin, and nails are all formed from dead cells which the body sheds as new cells push up from underneath. If the dead cells are kept in good condition, they will serve as an insulating layer to protect the delicate new keratin below them.

So now knowing that, in relation to our hair, skin and nails, if we don't take care of them as in treating them and moisturizing them, and applying alot of heat, our hair, skin & nails will become dry, brittle and/or fizzy.
So, I wanted to share with you a product that can be found online and in salons, a leave in keratin treatment, that can be easily done at home and at the salon.
Shine Moist Ionic Keratin Treatment & Natural Deep moisture keratin treatment. Both are very similar to each other. I use both of these personally and sell these inside my salon.
Shine Moist Ionic Keratin Treatment
It says on the packet
Scentifically formulated with Blue bond protein, Ionic Keratin Treatment injects, dry, colored, permed and frizzy hair improved intensive moisture plus softness perfectly. This provides deep penetrating moistrizing for brilliantly gloss and shine effects. Also Ionic Keratin Treatment enhanced by using professional steamer to maximize the potential for increased softness.
Directions:
After shampooing, blot dry hair with towel. Apply Shine Moist Hair Treatment generously over all the hair & cover with plastic cap for 15-30 minutes with or without heat.
Natural Deep Moisture Keratin Treatment
It says on the packet
Concentrated hair mask developed with special blend of ingredients to penetrate and revitalize hair from inside & out. It deeply moisturizes the hair leaving it healty, soft, smooth & shiny.
Directions: Exactly the same as the Shine Moist Treatment.
Both these products are very similar to each other, some people like to say the natural one isn't as strong as the shine moist. It really depends on preference, I like both of them. I get about 2-3 uses out of one packet. Each packet goes for P100-150 pesos. These are good for a once a week treatment.
When I do this treatment at home, and, Im not lazy, I like to put on a shower cap and get my blowdryer and blow it over my head. This just helps because when the hair is heated the cuticals open up, making it easier for the treatment to penetrate the hair.
After rinsing out, and letting my hair dry, it feels so healty and soft. When its fully dried its not frizzy any more, and, if styled the result looks really healty & shinny.
Pros:
- Makes Hair Shiny, soft, smooth and manageable
- Afforable
-2-3 uses come out of one packet
- available locally
Cons:
I can't think of any!
Will I repurchase:
Of course - I always have to restock this product!
For people with damaged hair and low on budget give this product a shot!
Till Next time
