Best Keratin Shampoos for Healthy Hair

Your hair is made up 8 percent moisture, 3 percent minerals, and 89 percent keratin protein. Keratin is a well-known component of Shampoos nowadays. Keratin is responsible for both internal and external structure of hair. Using a hair dye, heat or other chemicals can mess your hair both in terms of quality and quantity. Keratin shampoos infuse the protein back into the strands and repair the damage. Most keratin shampoos are made for regular use. The more you use, your hair will get smoother and lesser frizzier with time. Before discussing the best keratin shampoos, you must understand how keratin in shampoo works. Keratin in shampoos works through Keratin bond system. In this system, keratin molecules are hydrolyzed with botanical extracts to make them small enough to enter the hair. These molecules are double positively charged to make sure that they stick to the hairs and don’t get washed away. Hence, before you decide on a keratin-based shampoo, you must know the quality, percentage, and formula of keratin in your shampoo. Below is the list of recommended best keratin shampoos.
