Alpha-keratin is a liquid protein complex of low molecular weight peptides. This amino acid complex mimics the natural composition of alpha-keratin in the body and helps strengthen the hair structure.  The topical application promotes hair growth by increasing the water content of the epidermis and inducing collagen synthesis around the hair follicle.

Before cells begin to keratinise, they are composed of about 70% water, or sometimes even more. When cells are fully keratinised in the hair shaft, the hair contains only about 10% water. Low levels of water in the scalp will leave less water in fully keratinised hair fibre cells. This hair will also be less capable of retaining high amounts of moisture; this can be particularly problematic for super curly hair.

Alpha-keratin is a powerful complex rich in the amino acids required for healthy hair growth.  Regularly applying hydrolysed alpha-keratin will improve moisture retention and induction of collagen in the scalp resulting in smoother, thicker hair that grows longer.
