Protein Repair Booster

This is a blend of the following materials:

  1.  Keratin is a highly specialized fibrous protein, which is found in hair, feathers, wool and nails. 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.

Please note that these materials come from animals.

Lightweight Silicone

This is a “volatile” silicone material which means it goes on really light and dry and some of it slowly evaporates off the hair over time so there isn’t a lot of build-up on the hair but just smooth, perfect shiny hair.  On skin it adds a non-greasy, lubricious feel with a velvety after feel.
