What hair care products does KeraCare have?

Natural Textures
KeraCare has created a unique mix of ingredients with the Natural Textures line to intensely nourish and care for your hair. These ingredients include: Shea Butter, Amla & Shikakai Botanicals, Argan Oil or Castor Oil, for example.
Dry & Itchy Scalp
This line is super effective against dandruff, seborrheic dermatitis and seborrhea. This Dry & Itchy line is also good for normal scalp in dry periods, such as in the winter months.
What do the numbers on KeraCare packaging mean?
They are almost impossible to miss: the numbers on the packaging of KeraCare. This means the order in which you can best use the products. So it goes like this:
1: Shampoos
2: Conditioners
3: Styling and additional care products
The KeraCare Dry & Itchy Scalp is the perfect example: The hair is cleansed with the Moisturizing Shampoo (1), then cared for with the Moisturizing Conditioner (2) and finally you could use the Scalp Glossifier (3) as extra care for the scalp.
Is KeraCare Curly Girl Method-approved?
Curly Girl Method-proof is a hair care method for naturally curly hair. With this method you care for your curls so that you get shiny and defined curls. It is mainly about avoiding certain ingredients, such as silicones, sulfates, mineral oils, wax, etc. KeraCare also has a lot of products that are CG-proof!
Is this your first time hearing the "Curly Girl Method"? Or have you heard of it before, but don't know the tricks of the trade? Don't worry, we've explained everything for you! So do you want to know more about the Curly Girl Method? Then we would like to refer you to our article:The Curly Girl Method: from A to Z.
Is KeraCare Cruelty Free?
KeraCare believes that animals should not suffer to test hair care ingredients, and we couldn't agree more! All KeraCare products are cruelty free. KeraCare has the official Cruelty-Free License, which is of course very nice :)
Is KeraCare free from harmful ingredients?
Most KeraCare products are free of 'harmful' ingredients. KeraCare is completely free of parabens, mineral oils and phthalates, which is of course great! In addition, most products do not contain silicones, sulphates, parabens, mineral oils, phthalates or petrolatum. However, there are a few products that contain ingredients such as sulphates, silicones, paraffin, beeswax, petrolatum or castor oil. Whether these ingredients are really harmful to your hair desires, that can be refuted. Above all, just look at your personal 'goal'. We will explain two ingredients:
Silicone
Speaking of your 'personal goal': do you want to protect your hair from a heat tool? Then silicones are ideal to protect your hair. Do you want to deeply nourish your hair with ingredients? Then try to avoid silicones. Silicones provide a protective layer around your hair, which protects your hair from heat tools. The disadvantage of this is that your hair can absorb ingredients less well.
Tip: your hair will remain nicely nourished if you first use a product without silicones and then with silicones, so the nourishing product can no longer leave the hair due to the seal of the silicones. Silicones are in the Moisturizing Conditioner and the Oil Moisturizer.
Castor oil
Before we talk about castor oil, we need to dive into the theory of oils for a moment. There are two types of oil:
- Moisturizing oils:These are oils with smaller molecules that can penetrate your hair well. This allows these oils to hydrate your hair and scalp well. Examples of these are coconut oil, palm kernel oil, sunflower oil or monoi oil.
- Sealing oils:These oils have larger molecules that cannot pass through your hair. So it remains on your hair as an extra barrier. These oils do not actually hydrate your hair, but remain as a kind of barrier around your hair. So if your hair is already well hydrated, they ensure that your hair also remains well hydrated. Examples of this are argan oil, olive oil or almond oil. Pure sealers are jojoba oil and castor oil.
As you just read, castor oil is a sealing oil. We therefore recommend that you first hydrate your hair well with, for example, a leave-in conditioner. If you use castor oil on dry, unhydrated hair, the castor oil will only remain on your hair, causing your hair to become greasy. Your hair will then only become drier because no nourishment can get to it. To return to the personal goal: castor oil is therefore ideal if you want to keep your hair hydrated for longer, but make sure that you have first nourished your hair well with, for example, a leave-in conditioner.
Which KeraCare products are suitable for my hair?

KeraCare products maintain beautiful, stylish looks without damaging the strength and health of your hair or curls.
What are frequently asked questions about KeraCare?
We have listed a number of frequently asked questions about KeraCare for you. Maybe you can find it useful!
Is KeraCare Intensive Restorative Masque a protein treatment?
The Intensive Restorative Masque is not a protein treatment per se, but it does contain protein:Hydrolyzed Vegetable Protein PG-Propyl Silanetriol. For some, protein is good for the hair, especially for damaged hair, for example. However, there are also people with normal or protein-sensitive hair who can't handle it as well and get frizzy or dry hair from it. This can be a sign that your hair is getting too much protein. The mask is made to repair damaged hair.
Is KeraCare 1st Lather Shampoo a clarifying shampoo?
A clarifying shampoo is a shampoo that cleanses your hair intensively. It removes unwanted residues from your hair and scalp. Other words for a clarifying shampoo are: detoxing shampoo, detoxifying shampoo, deep cleansing shampoo, purifying shampoo or clarify shampoo. The difference between a clarifying shampoo and a normal shampoo is that a normal shampoo usually takes better care of your hair, while a clarifying shampoo is more focused on cleaning.
The 1st Lather Shampoo from KeraCare is a deep cleanser, or a clarifying shampoo. We recommend that you use a KeraCare Conditioner after the 1st Lather Shampoo, to properly care for your hair after cleansing.
