Ingredients in Keratin Treatments

Keratin hair treatments are composed of four major ingredients: keratin, formaldehydes, conditioners and cyclomethicone. The keratin protein serves as the main ingredient that reinforces hair and gives it a stronger build. Keratin found in the hair treatment formula also keeps hair hydrated by strengthening and coating hair cuticles. Formaldehydes in keratin treatments smooth hair cuticles, making hair appear glossy and tame rather than frizzy. Conditioners also work as a contributing ingredient in softening and controlling curly strands. Softening tresses when applied, cyclomethicone leaves hair feeling silky.
