WHAT IS KERATIN AND WHY SHOULD YOU BE USING IT ON YOUR HAIR?

You have protein in your diet, but did you know you also have it in your hair? Our PRO:VOKE Touch Of Silver Intensive Conditioner contains a restorative protein called keratin, and here’s how it works to get your hair looking its very best.

 

WHAT IS KERATIN?

Keratin is a fibrous protein which makes up the main structure of your hair, skin and nails. It accounts for 65% – 95% of your hair, protecting the cuticle and interior structure of the strand’s cortex and repairing any damage that occurs.

Keratin is found naturally in your body. However, it can be easily destroyed by heat, chemicals, and pollution.  Lots of people choose to replenish this with keratin-based hair products and treatments to make sure the health and appearance of their hair is the best it can be.

 

HOW WILL A KERATIN HAIR TREATMENT HELP MY LOCKS?

As keratin is a protective protein it can help to strengthen your hair and make it look shinier and healthier. Keratin forms a protective barrier around your hair, restoring the cuticle and helping it to retain moisture – reducing dry damage and boosting shine.

This is super important in summer months where UV protection is a must to protect your hair from sun exposure, or if you frequently use heat styling tools. Keratin will help keep your healthy shine and you’ll see fewer split ends forming, so you can say goodbye to frizz!

In fact, it can improve the overall quality of your hair by filling gaps that come with prolonged hair damage.

Some keratin treatments also relax and neutralise your hair while conditioning it, which will leave you with smoother, straighter locks that are easier to tame.

 

DOES KERATIN WORK BETTER ON CERTAIN HAIR TYPES?

Different hair types have different levels of naturally occurring keratin. Curly or frizzy hair will have less keratin than naturally straight tresses, as will chemically treated hair (if it’s been dyed or permed). These types will see the biggest benefits of a keratin hair treatment.

EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT CLARIFYING SHAMPOO

What is Clarifying Shampoo?

Clarifying shampoos are deep cleansing treatments for your hair that prevent product build-up and remove hard water minerals, excess oil, and pollutants. Using the shampoo regularly in between washes can allow your hair to appear healthy and shiny, removing any unwanted build up.

Clarifying shampoos should be used before colouring your hair so that the colour can successfully penetrate the hair shaft, and before using a hair mask, so the nourishing ingredients have optimum effect. It’s best not to use one too soon after a colour treatment though, as it may cause the colour to fade quicker.

They’re also extremely effective at removing chlorine from hair, making them the perfect hair product for swimmers who want to keep their colour bright.

Due to their deep cleansing, detoxing properties, clarifying shampoos can be rather drying, so we would always recommend teaming them with the use of a conditioner.

 

NEW PRO:VOKE’s Touch Of Silver Clarifying Treatment Shampoo with hydrating AquaPlex™

Our NEW Touch Of Silver Clarifying Treatment Shampoo, with hydrating AquaPlex™, is a deeply nourishing clarifying shampoo that removes impurities and product build-up from your hair. The AquaPlex™ is a moisturising system that allows the hair to be thoroughly conditioned as well as cleansed by hydrating the dry, damaged hair. This new moisture system contains black oat extracts which helps to improve the structure and shine of the hair, making it smoother and easier to comb through. Find out more about the product here.

 

How to use PRO:VOKE’s Touch of Silver Clarifying Treatment Shampoo

Our clarifying shampoo is perfect for natural or dyed white, platinum, blonde, and grey hair. Use once or twice a week between uses of your normal shampoo and conditioner – we’d recommend using our Touch of Silver Colour Care Shampoo and Conditioner. Or, if you’re after a more silvery tint – use in every wash to build up the purple pigment.

Make sure to massage in and leave the Clarifying Treatment Shampoo on for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly with warm (not hot) water to wash away all impurities.

 

What to do after clarifying your hair

For optimum results, we recommend following up a clarifying shampoo with a conditioning treatment. This locks in moisture for a healthy shine. Our Toning Treatment Mask is ideal as it instantly banishes brassy tones whilst deeply nourishing the hair so it’s visibly brighter in just one wash.
