Which mask to choose with keratin?
Professional means for hair with keratin can be purchased in specialized stores for hairdressers. Such masks quickly restore the structure of the curls and improve their appearance. In addition, many of them straighten hair, smoothing hard and fluffy hairs and restoring damaged follicles. After professional masks with keratin, even very wavy and unruly hair becomes straight and smooth. But there are shop masks and cons: high price and the content of components, which can be allergic.
Home masks with keratin have a strengthening effect, but they can not be straightened out as professional means do, because they do not contain synthetic components. The effect of their use will be manifested gradually with each procedure: the hair will become more docile and shiny, stop fluffing and get out of the hairstyle.
