Of course, this film also reflects light, so hair has an immediate glossy sheen. The fray of existing frizz ends is smoothed, while future splits are reduced thanks to these moisture-binding properties. Adding sweet almond oil creates a smoothness and slip that helps separate strands, which makes combining easier and prevents excessive friction and hair loss when <span style=\"color: #ffa180;\"><a style=\"color: #ffa180;\" href=\"https:\/\/prose.com\/how-to-detangle-hair.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">detangling<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>\n<h2>Arginine<\/h2>\n<p>This powerful ingredient has scientific proof behind its healing properties. Multiple studies conducted on the effect of vegetable-based keratin, that includes arginine, on both Caucasian and African-American hair found that it makes a big difference in the springiness and strength of curls. On triple-bleached Caucasian hair, participants found an 18 percent increase in hair elasticity and 21 percent increased strength, as compared to those that didn\u2019t use the keratin. African American women had similar results, with a 16 percent increase in elasticity and 39 percent increase in strength.<\/p>\n<p>When combing wet hair, the same people found a 43 percent reduction in breakage after 5 applications of the keratin. When combing dry hair, they found a 67 percent reduction in breakage after 5 applications.<\/p>\n<h2>Grape seed extract<\/h2>\n<p>Grape seed oil is like one-stop shopping for curly hair: It\u2019s a deep moisturizer, sealant, shine enhancer, and heat protector.

Those with curly hair love it because it helps define and moisturize their waves while being lightweight and not weighing their locks down.<\/p>\n<h2>Cellulose<\/h2>\n<p>Cellulose is the stuff that strengthens cell walls in plants\u2014its fibers give support and lift to a plant\u2019s leaves, stems, and roots. That\u2019s exactly what makes it an ideal structural material for supporting curls.
