Introducing kerabead™ technology for hair care products Kerabead™ microcapsules are a unique new technology made with real keratin that rebuilds healthy hair structure naturally. Kerabead products give hair manageability and shine without buildup, and they feel amazing. Only kerabeads give all-day softness and control, reactivating whenever hair is combed or brushed. Tiny and flexible, kerabead capsules slowly feed hair actives like shea butter and argan from a proprietary natural polymer complex. Kerabeads are too tiny to see, each only microns across. They naturally distribute over hair and nestle into crevices, instantly smoothing it and restoring a healthy, glossy shine and remarkable, touchable softness. Kerabeads naturally go where they are needed most, and are the first microcapsule that actually targets damage to repair hair structure. The tiny keratin packages flow into rough areas and split ends, instantaneously sealing and restoring hair structure to a luxurious smoothness. Kerabead Shea, Argan, Mango butter, and silicone encaps are ideal for all hair products. For more information about patented kerabead™ technology, please visit www.kerabead.com.

Long lasting repair of split ends by kerabead™ products Before treatment, hair samples show severe splitting, with single and multiple branch patterns due to heat and chemical processing and mechanical stress. Hair is repaired almost instantly on contact with kerabead encapsulates, which preferentially flow into split areas. The keratin complex integrates with the matrix of the hair shaft while benefit oils are released, smoothing the hair surface and “sealing” the repair. Repairs are long-lasting. Even after 36 hours in soapy water and hot air drying, the end of the hair shaft remains sealed and whole. A slight visible seam remains under higher magnification, but the split end is fully repaired. www.kerabead.com Technical information for kerabead™ hair products Key characteristics based on a simple model spray formulation* at 15% use level: ++ Tactile softness: Strong improvement ++ Cascade after displacement: Strong improvement ++ Frizz: Strong improvement ++ Split ends: Strong improvement ++ Combing resistance: Strong improvement + Flyaway: Moderate improvement + Shine: Moderate improvement Recommended product types: + + + + + + + + Leave-in detanglers and/or defrizz Pre-shampoo Shampoo Conditioner Gel styling aids Straightening serum Damage-repair serums Transition to natural ethnic hair after relaxing Recommended hair types: + + + + + + Ethnic African kinky Ethnic Latina Ethnic Asian Thick, curly or wavy Grey wiry Processing-damaged Use level: 1% - 20%.
