Hydrolyzed Keratin Protein
What Hydrolyzed Keratin Protein Is
Keratin is the main structural protein of human hair, skin, and nails.
When hydrolyzed:
Large keratin molecules are broken down
The peptides become small enough to be absorbed
They bind to damaged spots along the hair shaft
This makes hydrolyzed keratin one of the best hair repair proteins.
