How is keratin hair straightening done

Keratin hair straightening (keratinization) is considered to be a salon procedure. The master selects an individual composition and mixes the components in certain proportions, based on the client's hair type. Keratisation is a medical procedure that does not change the structure of the hair, and therefore does not cause harm. Under the influence of temperature, keratin penetrates into the depth of the hair, fills small cracks and voids. It is known that more than 90% of the hair consists of keratin, so the procedure only complements its natural component.
