If hair gets thin and stiff curly  by the end of the day , and the hair can be tamed only by using a conditioner , the real problem lies in loss of Keratin. A famous hair transplant surgeon says that keratin provides natural conditioning, vital nourishment , strengthens  roots , helps in hair growth and helps to stop split ends. Due to keratin, hair looks silky, bouncy, soft, shiny and gives a natural look. The Swiss Institute of Bioinformatics states that hair grows from cells embedded in the epithelial tissue. The roots of the hair are composed of keratin making cells. Keratin 1 and 2 are the two types of Keratin. These keratins intermingle to form long and strong hair. Chemical bonds between  keratins are  the reason for good quality of hair. These bonds can be easily destroyed , so wet hairs should not be combed. Conditioners make the hair smooth. Loss of keratin means loss of protein . Keratin gets destroyed due to weather conditions which are very much high or low, hormones , hair styles and bad diet. Steps can be taken to undo the damage.

In  order to get the shine back we can use multi vitamins like Biotin which help in the growth of keratin. It is impossible to aid keratin growth with the help of shampoos. There is a nanogen treatment in which there is electrostatic bonding of the keratin to the hair which stays till the wash is done . Nowadays there are some keratin based shampoos by companies like Karetec, Cord, Lasio etc.  These companies claim that the products have no side effects , made from organic materials and can be used for hair that is damaged.
