1. What is keratin?
Keratin is a protein that is a makes up most of the skin, hair and nails. Hair especially is rich in keratin-associated proteins and acts as an external protective protein in the cuticle (the outer layers) and the internal structural protein in the cortex (the inner core of the hair which determines its strength).
Your hair has natural keratin but often when exposed to physical, environmental and chemical damage, the hair’s keratin becomes depleted. Keratin loss exposes the hair’s cortex which puts it at risk of even more damage. Replenishing keratin in the hair restores strength and elastic smoothing of the hair’s surface and giving it a healthier appearance.
2. What is a keratin treatment?
Keratin treatment is a temporary

hair smoothing process that transforms coarse, frizzy and unruly hair into shiny, healthy looking and smooth hair. It targets the hair cuticle or the outer layer of the hair, and is activated with the heat of the straightener, fixing itself around the shaft and memorising the straightening action. It creates an elastic, strengthening external sheath while allowing the hair to breathe. 3.
How does keratin straighten the hair?
Keratin doesn’t actually straighten the hair. There are other chemical properties within the treatment that break down the bonds in curly hair and resettle them so the hair is straight and smooth. This is then set using a hair straightener heat to seal it. Chemicals allow the hair to remain straighter for longer.
Since your hair is being damaged in the process of changing its bond structure, keratin steps in to the rescue. Keratin counteracts the damage being done to your hair by preventing it from further breakage. It restores keratin to the delicate hairs and prevents humidity from penetrating it, which locks out the frizz.
4. What does Formaldehyde Free mean?
Original Brazilian Keratin treatments used Formaldehyde, which works as a fixative by making proteins adhere to the hair. It is a preservative used by embalmers and has been found to be linked to cancer. Formaldehyde has since been banned by the FDA and The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission have run its own investigations, finding many products too high in Formaldehyde deemed safe for personal care. Many Keratin treatments are now Formaldehyde free, using alternatives to produce a similar smoothing effect without the harshness of
Formaldehyde. 5. How long does keratin smoothing last? This all depends on your hair and how often you wash it after your treatment. It can last anywhere between 6 – 10 weeks.
e hope this card finds you all well! Here is what we have been up to this year.
Arieh Klein was a Jew born in 1927 in Zilina, Slovakia. During the Slovak National Uprising in 1944 Arieh’s parents got a phone call to escape Slovakia because the Germans were advancing. Arieh’s family moved to the village of Kaliste. The Germans, however, also arrived in Kaliste, and the Klein’s were advised to stay in a cottage with the rest of the village. However, Arieh’s father didn’t go out of fear of it being too dangerous with so many people in one place. He made a good decision because every person in that cottage was killed. A year had passed. Arieh went to the other side of the village and his leg was shot in some crossfire. He went to an abandoned house, occupied by 2 other boys, in order to bandage his wounds. The German’s then followed Arieh to the house, set it on fire, and shot the 2 other boys. Arieh escaped, barely, and went back to his parents, but his mom died of typhoid that day. Arieh then went to the hospital for his leg only to find out that it needed to be amputated. From these pictures we’re basically the same kids. We both have stuffed animals and we’re both are 3 in the pictures, but the boy on the left lost most of his family, his leg, and suffered only because he was a Jew.
...on. Treatments should be applied to the hair as a protector before the chemicals are added because they can apply serious damage to the healthy hair. If the hair isn’t treated properly with several chemicals being added such as relaxers or dye, the hair can easily become dry, brittle, and create many split ends throughout your hair even rising up to the roots. As I was doing my research paper I did experience some difficulties because I didn’t stick with one topic in the cosmetology field like hairstyling, coloring hair, nails, and even trimming of the hair so that caused me to even research harder, but it’s nothing wrong with challenging yourself at times.
Kabuki is a traditional form of theatre that originated in the Edo Period. In Japan, it is recognized as one of the three major classical forms of theatre including noh and bunraku.

Sir Kay is known as the knight who is King Arthur's Seneschal, an official in charge of domestic arrangements in the medieval household. “He is usually shown as boorish, mocking, and cruel” (“Sir Kay”). Despite Kay's cruel background, he holds a high position, a position of honor, in King Arthur's court. Some people say that Sir Kay only holds his position because of King Arthur.

This was the second time I watch this documentary. Accounting to Richard Kuklinski psychiatrist he interprets an Anti-social behavioral disorder and also shows psychopathic behavior. As I was watching this video I couldn’t help but deny that in fact, these actions are a result of a genetic pre-disposition. I’m reminded that this isn’t the first time I’ve viewed this video. However, I strongly believe if you are susceptible to bad behavior and suffer from mental illness indeed you are a product of your environment. Richard endured a great amount of abuse by both his parents. When a child endures abuse from his parents it can persuade the child to feel empty. Eventually, the will feel un-human and become un-human. I repeatedly tell myself he
Art has been a part of our life for as long as humanity has existed. For thousands of years people have been creating, looking at, criticizing, and enjoying art. Art is an expression of life, which means it expresses emotions. Creation that allows for interpretation of any kind is art. I have read somewhere that art is a human skill as opposed to nature, a skill applied to music, painting, poetry etc. I believe that nature is art as well. If something is made a certain way, then it's unique in its own way. And one of the most unique art that I have seen is created during the Egyptian era. Egyptian art was an important part of their
... ranging anywhere between 3.5 to 6.0 and are used to restore the pH balance after an alkaline treatment. Conditioners also keep cuticle layers from getting caught which keeps hair from tangling and reduce static electricity in the hair by sealing in moisture. There are many different types of conditioners aimed toward people with different hair textures. For example, protein conditioners are designed to slightly increase the diameter of the hair by adding a special coating to it. These conditioners are deigned to pass through the cuticle, penetrate the cortex, and replace any keratin that has been lost from hair.
We all struggle to grow our hair out let’s be honest, we get ambitious and cut it, or you like me, were one of the millions of granny hair women (yeah… you remember that fad) so you bleached your hair the whitest white and BAM it’s never the same again or broke off faster than your last relationship. Or... you're an an amazing mom or grandmother and the candles keep increasing on your birthday cake, but your hair does the opposite and keeps getting thinner and thinner.
Conclusions can be made by comparing human DNA to the DNA of chimps. A Significant difference between the two can be found in the genes create the proteins that control some of the elements found in the skin. This allows our skin to dorm a shield better known as the stratum cornea, so it can stay intact. The keratein found in hair is also an indicator of how people became hairless. Keratin is what cause hairs to be thin and nearly vacant on the human body. Researchers found that keratin causes hair to weaken and break off much more than other primates. It was determined that keratein was no longer need for humans to thrive in their environment so it began to

The hair on your head is comprised of a tough protein called keratin. There are two types of keratin. One being the α-keratins otherwise known as the alpha keratin which produces hair, horns, nails and hooves found on mammals and the other is called the β-keratins also referred to as the beta-keratin which is in charge of making scales, shells as well as reptile and bird claws. The keratin found on the human head is the alpha keratin this type of keratin is a fibrous structural protein, meaning that it is made of 18 amino acids. Amino acids are “anyone of a large group of organic compounds; the end product of the breakdown of protein.
These oily tissues are responsible for securing poisons in the body. Exactly when our body sweats, it gives off skin oil and release poisons and these will be touched and be held by the hair. It's like a cycle. The secured hair will then be corrupted once
