Shea Butter Secrets
Boosting keratin naturally
By Nat Habit
No matter how much we have progressed, the treasure of nature still holds the key to our skin and hair concerns. We just need to understand the rationale behind it. From the lush forests to the serene landscapes, nature unfolds its secrets, offering remedies in mystic yet scientific ways.
Among its many gifts, nature presents a compelling solution to the depletion of keratin, a protein that keeps our hair, skin, and nails strong and healthy. Exposure to chemicals and heat diminishes natural keratin, prompting many to opt for harsh treatments like keratin treatments. But truth be told, those treatments can be rough on our locks.
So, what's the alternative? Can nature offer us a gentler way to boost keratin? The answer is Yes!
Nestled within the kernels of the shea tree, lies an age-old remedy: Shea Butter
Shea butter is not just an ordinary moisturizer; it can transform your hair from dull to dazzling. How does it work? Let's find out:
- Stimulation of Keratin Synthesis: Shea butter serves as a catalyst for keratin synthesis, stimulating its natural production. It helps to replenish and strengthen the hair's keratin structure, resulting in healthier, more resilient strands.
- Sealing in Existing Keratin: The butter forms a protective barrier that seals in existing keratin within the hair shaft to shield it from environmental stressors and damaging factors. This helps in maintaining the structural integrity of the hair and promoting strength and elasticity.
- Prevention and Reversal of UV-Induced Damage: Shea shields keratin and helps prevent its degradation caused by sun exposure by forming a barrier against harmful UV rays. Additionally, it aids in repairing existing damage, ensuring the longevity of the hair's keratin structure.
- Reduction of Inflammation in Keratinocytes: It's anti-inflammatory properties soothe keratinocytes, which are responsible for keratin production. This reduces inflammation in the scalp, fostering optimal conditions for keratin synthesis, supporting healthy hair growth, and improving protein quality.
- Fight against Free Radicals and Oxidative Damage: Free radicals are some ruinous electrons that roam around our cells, causing ultimate damage and their untimely death. This cell depletion further restricts keratin production. Shea’s antioxidants fight these radicals, neutralising damage and preserving keratin strength.
In summary, each of shea butter's properties works synergistically to promote keratin health and enhance the overall condition of the hair.
