Hair's Molecular Strength: Uncovering the Importance of Disulfide Bridges for Hair Health
In the world of hair care, it's all about disulphide bridges. These badboys are like the unseen skeletal structure of your locks, keeping them strong, resilient, and full of life. Here's the skinny on these unsung heroes of your tresses:
What's the deal with disulphide bridges?
Disulphide bridges are essentially covalent bonds formed between two sulfur atoms, giving the protein structure a much-needed boost. They're responsible for maintaining the bond between protein chains, keeping them flexible, and preventing breakage.
Chemical treatments like dying, bleaching, or perming can do a number on these hardworking bonds. When chemical agents come into contact with proteins, they can destroy their bonds, leading to weak, brittle hair. Carbonylation is a major concern, as it involves the attachment of carbonyl groups to certain amino acids in proteins, permanently altering their structure and function.
The bad news? This damage can be irreversible. The good news? prevention is key.
Enter: Keradeep
Focusing on preventive care for these super-important protein bonds, Provital has cooked up a game-changer in the form of Keradeep. Based on pine bark extract, Keradeep is packed with antioxidant compounds such as polyphenols.
So, what does this mean for your hair? Keradeep works by preventing the appearance of carbonyl groups and the formation of oxidized cystine species, a critical intervention that could make all the difference in the health and longevity of your hair.
How does it work? Keradeep's efficacy has been established through a series of innovative tests, including the visualization and quantification of carbonylated proteins using a fluorescent probe, the study of the hair fiber at the molecular level through Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, and the study of the structural arrangement of keratin through birefringence.
In short, Keradeep is here to help you maintain strong, healthy, and beautiful hair from the inside out. Say goodbye to dry, dull, and coarse hair, and hello to locks that are the envy of everyone you meet.
So, go ahead, treat your hair right, and let your inner mermaid shine!
