Central to the line is the brand's patented Alpha Keratin 60ku, which has the exact molecular structure as the keratin protein in our hair.As a result, if you’re looking to smooth and strengthen your hair for special events or even daily occurrences, opting for safer, gentler at-home formulas is the way to go. When you heat-style your hair too often or undergo chemical treatments to make your hair look better or fancier, you might essentially strip your hair of its natural protein—keratin. The brand's hair mask contains a little protein alongside a lot of moisture, so it a great one for repairing moderately damaged hair.
