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

Viss, kas Tev jāzina par keratīnu: kā tas strādā un kā to pareizi lietot matu kopšanā

Beautiful, shiny hair always attracts attention, but to make it truly healthy and strong, it is important to take care of it properly - just as we take care of our body, nutrition, physical activity in our daily lives, etc. Hair is not just a matter of appearance - it is a mirror of our body and health. 

What is keratin?

How strong and elastic our hair is is largely determined by a small but essential detail - and that is keratin. Keratin is a protein that is the basic element of hair, nails and skin. It forms the structure of the hair, giving it strength and smoothness. Over time, the amount of keratin in the hair decreases. This is influenced by the use of heat appliances, chemical procedures, as well as everyday environmental factors such as UV radiation, air pollution, water quality, humidity fluctuations in the air, etc. 

How to promote keratin formation naturally?

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

ONE:ZERO Keratin Spray - balance between nature and science

The ONE:ZERO Keratin Spray created in Latvia is a keratin-containing hair spray with thermal protection that combines 94.71% natural ingredients, restores the surface of the hair, protects the hair from heat and environmental influences, making the hair silky, shiny and easy to style. The hydrolyzed keratin contained in the product, silk and wheat proteins strengthen and restore the structure of the hair, while aloe vera, oat extract and glycerin moisturize and help maintain the elasticity of the hair. Betaine and panthenol protect the hair from brittleness, while the specially developed formula that does not contain sulfates and parabens makes ONE:ZERO Keratin Spray a great choice for everyday use.

Hydrolyzed keratin - for even more effective hair restoration and protection

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

Hydrolyzed keratin:

  • Restores damaged hair from the inside, not just smooths the surface;
  • Improves hair elasticity and strength making them less brittle;
  • Helps retain moisture which is especially important in dry or changing climates;
  • Gives shine and smoothness to the hair while strengthening them.

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