KERATIN

Keratin: The Protein Powerhouse for Unbreakable Hair

What is Keratin?

Keratin, a fibrous structural protein, serves as the foundational building block of your hair, nails, and the outermost layer of skin (the epidermis), constituting up to 90% of their composition. Synthesized by specialized cells called keratinocytes, this resilient protein is composed of long chains of amino acids, particularly cysteine, which forms robust disulfide bonds. These bonds create a tightly woven, helical structure that grants keratin its signature durability and elasticity.

In hair, keratin’s role is multifaceted. Each strand is structured in three layers:

• Cuticle: A protective outer shield of overlapping scales.

• Cortex: A core of coiled keratin fibers responsible for hair’s strength and flexibility.

• Medulla: A soft, central core.

When hair is damaged by heat styling, chemical treatments, or environmental stressors like UV radiation and pollution, the disulfide bonds degrade, leading to split ends, frizz, and porosity. Keratin acts as a reparative agent by rebonding fractured protein chains, smoothing the cuticle’s ruffled layers, and restoring the hair’s natural barrier against external aggressors.

Beyond repair, keratin functions as a molecular shield. Its sulfur-rich structure neutralizes free radicals generated by UV exposure, while its hydrophobic properties repel humidity and airborne pollutants that cause oxidative stress. This dual action prevents protein loss, color fading, and moisture depletion.

Keratin: Key Benefits for Hair

• Repairs Structural Damage: Rebuilds broken protein bonds in hair shafts, mending split ends and breakage.

• Smooths Frizz: Seals the hair cuticle for a glossy, frizz-free finish—even in humidity.

• Heat Shield: Protects against damage from blow-dryers, straighteners, and UV rays.

• Strengthens Weak Strands: Adds resilience to thin or brittle hair, reducing snap-offs.

• Long-Lasting Smoothness: Keeps hair sleek and manageable for up to 48 hours.

Why Keratin is a Star Ingredient in Kaiph Hair Serum

In Kaiph Hair Serum, our hydrolyzed keratin is bioengineered for maximum absorption, working in tandem with argan oil to deliver instant smoothness and long-term resilience.

• Repairs Like Nothing Else: Hydrolyzed keratin molecules penetrate deep into hair shafts, rebuilding broken bonds from heat, coloring, and pollution.

• Seals the Cuticle: Acts as a “liquid shield” to smooth frizz, lock in moisture, and reflect light for salon-worthy shine.

• Heat-Activated Protection: Strengthens hair to withstand styling tools up to 450°F, preventing future damage.

• Salon Results, At Home: Mimics professional keratin treatments without harsh chemicals or downtime.

Why Choose Kaiph?

FAQs

1. What does keratin do in HydraKeratin Serum?
Keratin is the primary structural protein in your hair. In HydraKeratin Serum, hydrolyzed keratin penetrates deep into hair shafts to repair broken bonds, smooth split ends, and seal the cuticle for frizz-free shine. It acts like a “liquid repair crew” to reverse damage from heat, coloring, and pollution.

2. How is Kaiph’s keratin different from salon keratin treatments?
Unlike harsh salon treatments (which often use formaldehyde), Kaiph’s keratin is:

• Hydrolyzed: Broken into micro-molecules for deeper repair without weighing hair down.

• pH-balanced: Safe for color-treated, extensions, and chemically processed hair.

• Heat-activated: Forms a protective shield when styling, reducing damage by up to 40%.

3. Can keratin overload my hair with protein?
No! HydraKeratin Serum is formulated with balanced ratios of keratin and hydrating argan oil to prevent protein overload. It’s ideal for all hair types, including fine or low-porosity strands.

4. How do I use HydraKeratin Serum for best results?

• Apply 1-2 pumps to damp, towel-dried hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends.

• Blow-dry or style as usual—the keratin bonds activate with heat.

• Use 2-3x weekly for damaged hair.
