The molecules of keratin are small and hence penetrate into the cortex of the hair. It will repair the hair and will add strength, moisture and elasticity to the hair. This results in hair which is smooth, silky and soft. The molecules will cover the hair cuticles and protect it from harmful environmental factors like the ultra violet rays, smoke and pollution smog. It prevents further damage of the hair.
