Hair and nails reveal a great deal about overall health, genetics, and lifestyle. Beyond their aesthetic role, they also protect against external aggressors; therefore, it's important to take care of them.
Brittle nails, excessive hair loss – it's time to take action. Hair and nails can be weakened during a change of season, a period of intense stress, pregnancy, an unbalanced diet, or even a low mood.
Before treating damaged hair and brittle nails, it is important to know their main component, keratin.
Keratin, the main component of nails and hair
What is keratin?
Keratin is a protein naturally present in the human body. It makes up the vast majority of hair, nails, body hair, and the epidermis.
What are the beneficial effects of keratin?
This protein is a true beauty ally for achieving long, strong, and healthy hair and nails:
- On hair: it seals the cuticles of damaged hair, smooths the fiber, provides shine and suppleness while preventing split ends.
Keratin also helps retain water in the hair fiber, limiting dryness and breakage. It makes hair more elastic, thicker, and stronger.
- On nails: it promotes growth and forms a protective layer against external aggressions. It is therefore ideal for treating brittle or splitting nails .
How to follow a keratin treatment?
Keratin can be taken in capsule form. Opt for its natural form or supplements that promote its production (vitamins, zinc, silica). A keratin treatment strengthens hair and nails from within, but it remains more effective when combined with a healthy lifestyle.
In the case of weakened hair or nails, it is recommended to combine keratin with targeted treatments and a balanced diet rich in proteins and essential minerals.
How to strengthen your hair and nails?
To quickly restore health and beauty to hair and nails, natural treatments and beauty supplements are the best allies.
Performing natural treatments
Natural treatments nourish and repair the outer layer of hair and nails. The best ingredients are:
- The "organic" egg: rich in vitamins D and E, it strengthens hair fibers and nails.
- Honey: moisturizing and nourishing, it strengthens the structure of hair and nails while providing softness and shine.
- Vegetable oils such as castor, coconut, avocado or argan oil are ideal for nourishing and protecting the fiber and natural keratin.
These oils, rich in essential fatty acids, limit hair loss, strengthen nails and stimulate their growth.
Beauty supplement treatment
External care alone is not enough: to strengthen the nail fiber and matrix, an internal treatment is often essential. Beauty supplements work from within to stimulate growth, prevent breakage, and reinforce natural keratin.
They provide essential nutrients such as B vitamins, zinc, selenium and silica, all involved in keratin production and hair and nail health.
