The Magic of Keravis: Strengthen Your Hair Naturally

In the ever-evolving quest for the top hair breakage treatments, knowing the right ingredients that can strengthen hair and repair chemically damaged hair is half the battle. Enter Keravis—a powerhouse ingredient that's making “waves” in the beauty industry. But what exactly is Keravis, and why should you care? Let's dive into the benefits of this hair strengthening ingredient, particularly its key components: Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein and PG-Propyl Silanetriol.

What is Keravis?

Keravis is a powerful hair-strengthening complex found in Save Me From Chemical Conflict. It combines two key ingredients: Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein and PG-Propyl Silanetriol. This dynamic duo works synergistically to fortify hair from the inside out, providing both immediate and long-term benefits. With all the buzz about peptides in hair care, the real magic in the Save Me From Chemical Conflict hair repair mask lies in the hydrolyzed protein found in Keravis.

Is Hydrolyzed Protein Considered a Peptide?

Yes, hydrolyzed protein is considered to contain peptides. Here's why:

When proteins are hydrolyzed, they are broken down into smaller fragments, including amino acids and peptides. Peptides are short chains of amino acids, which are the building blocks of proteins. Therefore, hydrolyzed proteins are essentially mixtures of smaller peptides and amino acids.

In the context of hair care, these smaller peptides can penetrate the hair shaft more effectively, providing benefits such as increased strength, moisture retention, and overall hair health.

You may have heard April, Save Me From’s founder, is also the founder of HydroPeptide. She has been a pioneer in peptide skin care and of course, would of course look to add the benefits of peptides into hair care!

What Vegetables Make Up Keravis?

Croda, the maker of Keravis, has kept this confidential information under wraps but the Hydrolyzed Vegetable Proteins (HVP) found in Keravis are most likely derived from these plant-based sources:

• Soybeans: A rich source of protein, soybeans are often used to produce HVP.
• Peas: Pea protein is also utilized for creating HVP.
• Rice: Rice protein can be used, though it's less common compared to the others.

How to Repair Damaged Hair With Keravis

1. Strengthens Hair from Within: The hydrolyzed vegetable protein in Keravis are smaller peptides and amino acids that can penetrate the hair cortex, providing internal strength, reinforcing the hair’s structure and reducing the likelihood of breakage. This is crucial for maintaining healthy hair, especially for those with chemically treated or heat-styled locks.
2. Improves Moisture Retention: These hydrolyzed proteins are some of the best ingredients for the hair to retain moisture, helping achieve healthy hair and hair hydration.
3. Forms a Protective Shield: PG-Propyl Silanetriol creates a protective barrier around the hair shaft. This not only helps in defending against external aggressors like pollution and UV rays but also locks in moisture, ensuring your hair remains hydrated and resilient.
4. Improves Hair Elasticity: One of the standout benefits of Keravis is its ability to improve hair elasticity. This means your hair is less likely to snap when brushed or styled, leading to fewer split ends and a healthier overall appearance.
5. Adds Shine and Luster: Beyond just strength, Keravis enhances the natural shine of your hair, giving it a vibrant, glossy finish that turns heads.
6. Supports Hair Growth: By maintaining the integrity of the hair fiber, Keravis helps to support longer, healthy hair. With less hair breakage, hair is able to grow stronger and healthier.
7. Versatile for All Hair Types: Whether you have fine, curly, or color-treated hair, Keravis works wonders. It's a versatile ingredient that caters to the diverse needs of different hair types, ensuring everyone can benefit from its strengthening properties.

Does Keravis Work?

Yes! Several studies have been conducted to evaluate effectiveness in strengthening hair. Here are some key measurements:

1. Tensile Strength: Keravis has been shown to significantly increase the tensile strength of hair, making it more resistant to breakage.
2. Bending Modulus: This assesses the flexibility and elasticity of hair. Keravis helps improve the bending modulus, allowing hair to stretch without breaking.
3. Cuticle Abrasion: This measures the resistance of hair to surface damage and abrasion. Keravis forms a protective barrier around the hair cuticle, reducing damage, friction and tangles!

In clinical studies, 1% Keravis - the same percentage found in Save Me From Chemical Conflict, demonstrated a 20 to 30% increase in hair tensile strength compared to untreated hair. Hair treated with Keravis (and Chemical Conflict) is much more resistant to breakage and damage.

How to Incorporate Keravis into Your Hair Care Routine

Incorporating Keravis into your hair care routine is easy, thanks to its presence in a variety of products, from shampoos and conditioners to leave-in treatments and serums. Look for products that specifically list Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein and PG-Propyl Silanetriol on their ingredient labels. Save Me From Chemical Conflict is a great place to start, which is not only formulated with 1% Keravis, but also contains Fenugen, Caffeine, Creatine, Silk Proteins, Keratrix and Kerestore! This ingredient line up makes Chemical Conflict one of the best hair bond repair treatments you can find!

The Ayurvedic Spice That's Changing Everything

It's worth mentioning the hair reparative benefits of Fenugen. Inspired by Ayurvedic medicine, we've harnessed the fenugreek's rich phytonutrients including medium and long chain fatty acids, terpenoids, polyphenols, phospholipids and vitamins A, C and B variety vitamins and paired these with bio-boosters like ubiquinone (also known as Coenzyme Q10 for hair), organic karanja (also known as pongamia) and medicum chain triglycerides (MCT’s derived from coconut). Through a patented eco extraction process, we've magnified these phytonutrients into our clinically proven technology. Fenugen possesses the rich nutrients of fenugreek seeds in a complex 5x more potent in polyphenols. These nutrients include Vitamin A, B Vitamins, Vitamin C and more. Fenugen is a good source for important biothiols that protect your hair from oxidative damage and rebuild disulfide bonds. Bleach, color, chemical services & heat cause internal disulfide bonds to break, leaving your hair weak, brittle & damaged. With Bond Reboot’s creatine, ionic bonds are also restored, making the hair stronger even when wet. Our Reboots quickly reduce split ends and reduce hair breakage while nurturing new hair that’s more resistant to future damage. With consistent, long-term use, hair bonds are rebuilt, hydration is restored helping to reduce frizz, the scalp is energized and nourished from within allowing hair that's more resistant to damage to emerge. Rooted in Ayurveda, our Fenugen is clinically proven to transform hair from tip to root, inside and out.

So, the next time you're on the hunt for hair products that promise strength and resilience, remember the name Keravis and Fenugen. Your hair will thank you.
