Before we get to the solution, you first need to know what is causing damage to your hair!
It is very important to know that human hair is mainly composed of proteins – the most common of which is keratin. Keratin is a kind of natural protection for the hair structure, but unfortunately, it is easily damaged by day-to-day external factors. Examples of these factors include exposure to sunlight, heat (hair straighteners and other styling tools), pollution, and chemicals!
When coming into contact with these factors, keratin ends up having its natural structure damaged, thus resulting in hair shafts without this essential protection. We already know what the end is: damaged, porous, lifeless hair! But what can be done to reverse this situation? Keep reading to find out!

Well, since the main cause for problem strands is the lack of keratin, the solution is to return this substance to the hair! Therefore, the best mask for damaged hair is the keratin mask.
The keratin mask is a way to make hair softer, easier to handle, and much healthier! This is because by returning this protein to the hair, the hair cuticles are completely filled in and thus have a strong protective barrier. There is, however, some essential information and care that you need to know, okay?
- TYPES OF KERATIN TREATMENT
There is more than one way to restore keratin to your hair. Depending on the condition of your hair, the best option is to go to a beauty salon, for example. But if you want to try it at home, there are many great keratin masks available that are quick and convenient! We recommend the Ultra Control mask by Sleeker Plus, which not only contains keratin, but also 12 natural organic oils!
- HOW TO USE A KERATIN MASK
If you choose to do your keratin treatment at home, it is very important to pay attention to the instructions on the product packaging! Although each product has its own specificity, most keratin masks follow the same instructions:
- Wash hair thoroughly with shampoo;
- Rinse;
- Apply the product and let it act for the time indicated on the package;
- Remove the product with water;
- And, finally, use a hairdryer, if indicated.

Otherwise, the final result can be disastrous… So, opt for renowned brands, such as Sleeker Plus, mentioned above, and another fantastic Brazilian brand, Nazca – responsible for the wonderful line of keratin products, which includes the mask below!
By using a keratin mask and taking the above information into account, you can be sure that your hair will be healthy again! But remember that it is very important to have a diversified hair care routine (ever heard of capillary schedule?) and with quality products, like the ones you can find on Metro Brazil’s website!
