What is Keratin?
Keratin is an extremely important structural protein found in the natural structure of hair, skin, and nails, protecting them against external factors. This strong protein, consisting of polypeptide chains, provides the durability of hair strands while also creating the hard and flexible structure of nails. Cosmetic science has developed hydrolyzed keratin technology to externally supplement the amount of keratin that decreases over time due to environmental factors, heat treatments, and chemical processes. Hydrolyzed keratin, carefully used in Lacinia hair and body care products, provides structural support by easily adhering to hair strands and the nail surface thanks to its molecular structure. In this way, hair and nails gain a much more vibrant, shiny, and strong appearance.
Benefits in Skin Care
In cosmetic care routines, keratin is a unique ingredient especially for improving the aesthetic appearance of hair and nails. It nourishes the hair by forming a protective film layer around the hair strands, reducing the abrasive effects of external factors. It adds a sense of durability to weak-looking nails prone to breaking by smoothing the nail surface. This protein, which supports the overall health of hair and nails, offers softness and shine.
- Nourishes and Revitalizes Hair: Deeply nourishes dull and lifeless-looking hair strands, giving them a natural radiance and vitality.
- Softens and Smoothes: Soothes frizzy and puffy hair, providing silky softness and easy combability.
- Supports Nail Appearance: Offers a smoother, healthier, and well-groomed aesthetic by strengthening the surface of weak nails.
How to Use?
Keratin-containing cosmetic products can be included in the daily routine in the form of shampoo, conditioner, hair mask, or leave-in hair care serums. Lacinia keratin hair care series products are applied to damp or wet hair by massaging from the ends to the roots. With regular use, the absorption of keratin by the hair strands and the formation of a protective shield are supported. For nail care, special hand and nail creams containing keratin should be gently massaged into clean nail cuticles and surfaces every day.
Who Can Use It?
Keratin care is indispensable, especially for people with hair that is worn, dull, and hardened due to frequent heat treatments or chemical processes such as dyeing or bleaching. Additionally, anyone with nails that break easily, peel, and look lifeless can safely benefit from the nourishing cosmetic properties of keratin.
Things to Consider
Since excessive use of keratin products may cause a feeling of stiffness in some hair types, it is recommended to apply them at the frequency specified in the product's usage instructions. Contact with eyes should be avoided, and a patch test should be applied against personal allergies.
