Many salon procedures have long been performed by girls on their own at home. And keratin hair straightening also ceased to be an exception. Many ladies try to make it more and more independently at home. So how to make keratin for hair at home, so that the procedure brings a pleasant and salon result? There are a few secrets.
What kind of procedure
Before you do something, you need to understand what it is. Keratin for hair at home is no exception. The straightening procedure, or it will be more correct to say - restoration implies first the maximum disclosure of hair scales, and then their saturation, of course, with keratin. Why to them? Because human hair consists of 80% of it. But due to improper daily care, the quantity and quality of natural, natural keratin reproduced by the body is significantly reduced. As well as due to negative environmental conditions: bad weather, the use of heat tools for hair. Therefore, keratin for hair is often required. At home, you can carry out the procedure, but you should be careful and careful.
What is keratin unique
He naturally has it. It is well known that hair after keratin becomes softer, silky and healthy. And there is an explanation for this. Keratin is a protein that contains a special amino acid. It is called cystine. It is he who is responsible for how elastic and healthy the strands of hair will be. The lack of cystine is immediately noticeable: the hair becomes brittle, dull, and the ends split off several times faster than usual. However, even strengthening and restoring home masks may not help in this case. But keratin for hair at home may well cope with the problem.
What to use at home?
There are special ready-made kits that you can use yourself at home. The best keratin for hair, according to experts, is one that is sold in ampoules. There are no unnecessary impurities in it, and the main component is the building protein that is most necessary for the hair. However, at home, using liquid pure keratin in ampoules is almost unrealistic. Therefore, it is worth paying attention to ready-made sets.
Industrial masks
Despite the fact that many hairdressers are skeptical of such funds, they still have a positive effect. Firstly, ready-made masks are easy to use: just follow the instructions clearly. Secondly, they really make your hair healthy and strong, especially if you use them regularly. And although keratin is not in the first place in them, industrial masks contain it in sufficient quantities. So, for example, the Estel company enjoys special popularity, the keratin of which is presented in a variety of forms: shampoo, masks, ready-made sets for keratinization. Many girls opt for masks, since they are the easiest to use.
Homemade Gelatin
Edible gelatin is not only used to prepare certain dishes, it is also an ingredient for home hair keratinization. But for the procedure to bring the expected result, it will be necessary to fulfill several conditions. First, wash your hair thoroughly with shampoo, which does not contain sulfates. They not only make strands heavier, but also hinder the penetration of keratin into the structure. Secondly, in addition to gelatin, essential oils are also required. Most often it is rosemary and sage. Thirdly, the procedure is carried out exclusively on dry hair.
How to make yourself keratin
When the hair is washed, dried, you can begin to create a mask. First, a tablespoon of gelatin is dissolved in a glass of warm water without dyes and additives. Then a small spoonful of apple cider vinegar and a couple of drops of oil are added to it. The resulting mixture with a comb with rare teeth is distributed over dry hair, strand by strand. Home hair strengthening with keratin, reviews of which are negative most often due to improper performance, requires some effort. Firstly, no mask is applied to the roots. From this they become fatter several times. Secondly, they keep the mixture on their hair for at least 20 minutes, without covering anything. Thirdly, they are washed off with pure clean running water without shampoo, balm or masks. Rinse off as thoroughly as possible, otherwise the hair will look like icicles. The resulting effect of sealing and strengthening is enough for an average of 3 months.
Liquid Ready Keratin
The Estelle company, whose keratin is in certain demand in the Russian market, has released a ready-made kit for strengthening hair in one bottle. The product has a rather complicated composition, but the main thing is that it contains pure and lively building protein. The execution procedure is quite simple:
- First, wash your hair thoroughly. Keratin shampoo , reviews of which will be slightly lower, is applied twice. So the curls will be cleaner, and the scales are opened as wide as possible for further strengthening.
- Dry your hair with a towel (you can not dry). And then they gather in a bunch. One strand is carefully pulled out of it, combed.
- Liquid keratin is distributed over the strand using a spray bottle. To better absorb, the hair is thoroughly combed.
- The procedure is performed all over the head, strand by strand.
- The tool must be kept for about 20-25 minutes, depending on what is indicated in the instructions.
- Hair is dried with a hairdryer, combed.
- To reliably seal keratin in strands, you need a special styler-iron. Hair is pulled by him, and under the influence of high temperature keratin is absorbed into them.
- You can apply additional nutritious or keratin serum.
After the procedure, it is not recommended to wash your hair for three days. On average, the effect lasts for 4 months, after which you need to repeat keratinization.

Both masters and girls conducting the procedure at home on their own, are mostly satisfied. On average, the set is enough for 6-12 sessions, depending on the length of the hair. A shampoo with keratin, the reviews of which are the highest, this company is considered the best in its segment. Some even use it simply as a means to wash hair, and not just to strengthen it.
In addition to Kokoshoko, such brands as Estelle, Keratin Active, Lolone are in demand among masters. Each of these manufacturers has a series of products for home and professional keratirovki, and all of them are good enough for this procedure. You should not be afraid of the high cost, since there are enough bottles most often for a couple of years, if it comes to a home procedure, of course. The sets pay for themselves completely and customers do not like them only in exceptional cases. Most often this is due to improper use of the products of a company, and not with its quality.
