Everything you need to know about keratin: how it works and how to use it properly in hair care

Beautiful, shiny hair always attracts attention. However, for it to be truly healthy and strong, it is important to take proper care of it – just like we take care of our body, diet, physical activity in our daily lives, etc. Hair is not just an external appearance – it is a mirror of our body and health. 

What is keratin?

How strong and flexible our hair is is largely determined by a small but important nuance – and that is keratin. Keratin is a protein that is a basic element of hair, nails and skin. It forms the structure of hair, gives it strength and smoothness. Over time, the amount of keratin in hair decreases. This is affected by the use of heat tools, chemical treatments, as well as everyday environmental factors, such as UV radiation, air pollution, water quality, humidity fluctuations in the air, etc. 

How to promote keratin production naturally?

Since keratin is a natural protein that is synthesized by our body, we can also promote its formation through our diet, which is based on certain vitamins, minerals and amino acids, such as eggs, green vegetables, fish, legumes, carrots, avocados and nuts. For even better results, combine a balanced diet with high-quality hair care products that are suitable for you, and you will see that your hair will become noticeably stronger, smoother and more elastic.

The product contains hydrolyzed keratin, silk and wheat proteins strengthen and restore the hair structure, while aloe vera, oat extract and glycerin moisturize and help maintain hair elasticity. Betaine and panthenol protect hair from brittleness, while the specially developed formula, which does not contain sulfates and parabens, makes ONE:ZERO Keratin Spray for a great choice for everyday use.

Hydrolyzed keratin – for even more effective hair restoration and protection

Unlike regular keratin, whose molecules act mainly on the outer surface of the hair, hydrolyzed keratin consists of finer molecules (containing peptides and amino acids), so it penetrates the inner layer of the hair much deeper and more effectively to fill damaged hair and restore it from the inside. 

Hydrolyzed keratin:

• Restores damaged hair from the inside, not only smooths the surface;
• Improves hair elasticity and strength, making them less fragile;
• Helps retain moisture, which is especially important in dry or variable climates;
• Gives hair shine and smoothnesswhile strengthening them.

How to use ONE:ZERO Keratin Spray? It is very easy to use – spray the product on clean, damp hair and gently massage it into the hair. Always use it before using heat tools or as a daily protection against external influences. If your hair is dry or damaged, we recommend combining this keratin spray with nourishing mask or oil – the effect will be felt after just a few uses.
