Keratin is distinct from other proteins in that it is rich in cysteine (an amino acid), which gives keratin unique strengthening and protective properties. Keratin not only protects the hair but minimizes damage and increases strength.
2. Milk amino acids can penetrate the hair shaft for moisture and repair. They can bind with water to increase moisturization which results in stronger, more flexible hair.
