Summary
I. Keratin: The key to having beautiful hair
Whatever the hair type: curly hair, very dry hair, kinky hair, or normal hair, keratin is a protein that makes up 95% of all hair fibers. It is important to provide all the necessary nutrients for its composition to have strong hair. All the nutrients that make up keratin are distributed by the bloodstream to the hair bulb. If they are not supplied in sufficient quantity, one can quickly observe hair loss, split ends, weakened and tired hair.
Keratin is composed of sulfur-containing amino acids: methionine, lysine, and cystine; trace minerals: zinc, iron, copper, and magnesium; and a set of vitamins: B5, B8, and B9. If an element is missing or supplied in low quantity, it leaves the door open to external aggressions.
