Keratin is a natural protein found in the hair. Not only in the hair, keratin is also found in the
teeth and nails. It is this keratin that plays a role in maintaining the health of your hair.
This treatment has the function of repairing damaged hair and making hair appear more shiny
and easy to manage. ( Luviana,2009)

Over the years so many hair products that promise good results, so that shampoo and
conditioners, along with masks equipped with the formula "keratin" become a powerful and
secret ingredient to answer all our hair problems Keratin is actually a protein that can be
found naturally in around hair, skin, and nails. For hair, specifically, keratin is a "structural
building block" that strengthens the keys to prevent damage and damage has already occurred
( candra purnawan, 2001)

“according to lilis astria (2009) here are four things about keratin and why you should use it”

1. Eliminate frizzy hair

Frizzy hair can often be caused by constant heat regulation or lack of moisture in your hair.
Keratin hair products impregnated by nutrition can help tame your hair strands by smoothing
the cells that form hair follicles and making them more elastic and bouncy-looking.
2. Repair damaged hair

Making your hair become colored, exposed to chemicals, and often using heat styling tools
on a regular basis can cause hair to become brittle and easily damaged. You can apply a
series of keratin-formulated hair products to help replace and rebuild keratin that has been
lost in your hair strands to return to a healthy condition.

3. Make hair softer and shinier

Products with keratin can also help treat your hair from the inside, and over time it will give
you softer, healthier-looking hair

4. Hair becomes more manageable = uses less heat styling tools

If you frequently (or mean Cosmo every day) use a hair straightener to reduce frizzy, you can
try using shampoo and conditioner that contains keratin. Both of these products can help
smooth your hair so you don't need to spend a lot of time locking strands of hair to stay
straight. And, the less time spent, your hair strands must be under high temperatures.
Keratin is a natural protein found in hair, nails and teeth. Keratin in hair acts to keep hair
healthy and shiny. However, with age, the production of natural protein in the body will
decrease. In addition, lifestyle also affects the levels of keratin produced by the body.
Pollution, sun exposure, the use of hair dryers and vise, to the use of chemicals in hair
coloring can cause reduced production of keratin. For that, there is no harm in providing
keratin intake from the outside through special products. Another benefit offered by keratin is
that it makes hair look straighter. Naturally, people who have straight hair have higher levels
of natural protein than those who have curly hair. Not surprisingly, keratin is also often used
in the smoothing process. The smoothing method using this type of protein is also known as
the keratin treatment. Currently, keratin treatment is increasingly popular as a method of hair
straightening, because it can make straight hair while still looking softer and more shiny.
(Ganjar Fadilah, 2001)

according to suprianto (1998) the disadvantages and advantages of keratin hair straightening,
namely:

The advantages of keratin hair straightening :

1. Hair straightening process using artificial keratin will make hair soft, not dry like other
chemical-based straightening processes.
2. With the straightening using keratin you will get easily regulated hair, so you will not need
hair products made from chemicals such as hair spray and mousse to style your hair.
3. Because the keratin layer also serves to protect the hair shaft, your hair will be protected
from the sun and pollution that can cause damaged hair cuticles.

shortage of hair straightening :

1. Because basically this alignment method is safer but can provide maximum results, so
don't be surprised if you also have to spend more.
2. Although it no longer requires a lot of time and extra styling products to style your hair,
post-straightening treatment with keratin is quite complicated. You need to use shampoo and
conditioner that is free of sodium chloride to treat hair. And of course this means more
money spent.
3. Even though this hair straightening method is claimed to be safe and suitable for anyone,
however the straightening process still involves drugs and synthetic ingredients that are not
made naturally, so there is still the possibility of an allergic reaction.
