There are several types of keratin that you can choose as a treatment depending on your hair type. The most common are the ones we show you below. Take note!
Alpha keratin. It is the most common of all treatments. It contains cysteine, an amino acid that acts on the keratin protein and makes the hair more resistant and rigid, eliminates curl and softens the hair.
Beta keratin. It is a type of keratin that gives a less rigid straightening effect and lasts less time than alpha-keratin. By leaving the hair more manageable, the finish is usually more natural and not so straight.
Hydrolyzed keratin. It works as a regenerating and restoring treatment for hair fibers by softening them, penetrating directly into the cuticle and reducing the appearance of split ends.
