Why Keratin Is A Wonder Product When It Comes To Hair Care

Brought to you by TRESemmé Keratin is one of those much used yet rarely explained beauty buzz words. With that in mind, we've decided to do a little investigation into the ' fibrous structural protein' and how it works to protect your hair. Firstly, it's a protein found in hair, skin and nails. It works as a protective layer but is often damaged as a result of physical, chemical and environmental damage and you know, general wear and tear. So when keratin is lost, you need to replenish it and that's where the TRESemmé Keratin Smooth range comes in. By using these products at home on a daily basis, you're restoring keratin to your locks, allowing for a smoothing effect. Over time, your hair will become stronger and healthier. Rather than a one-off treatment at a salon, which will work for a couple of weeks while costing you a bomb, this is a hair care system designed to be used at home. If your hair is dry, frizzy and damaged, then trying a product line that specifically targets these problems might be the way forward. Blake Lively's hair.

There's also a Heat Protection Shine Spray (€7.99) which is like a protective veil for the hair before using any heated appliance, thus lessening the amount of damage to your barnet.
