Natural Keratin Herbs

You need plenty of keratin for thick, luxurious locks.


Natural keratin herbs can be used for a number of home remedies, including altering your diet to encourage the growth of healthy hair and to cure acne. Natural keratin herbs are herbs that encourage the body to produce keratin or, via the stimulation of collagen production, increase levels of keratin in the body. By using these herbs to stimulate the production of more keratin, you can improve your complexion and encourage healthy hair growth as well as keeping your fingernails strong and healthy.


Grape Seed Extract


Grape seed extract can be taken orally or topically to stimulate hair growth. Through its antioxidant properties, grape seed extract fights off infections and inflammations that can cause the body to find itself unable to produce collagen and its offshoot, keratin. These inflammations can lead to breakouts and hair loss. You can take grape seed extract daily in the form of a dietary supplement or you may prefer to massage it into your scalp or into problem acne areas.


Leafy Splurge


When the juice of this herb is applied to the scalp, hair growth accelerates and hair becomes thicker and stronger with more keratin. However, you must be careful with this plant because the juice can irritate the eyes and the skin if it is exposed to sunlight too soon after the juice has been applied. Do not take this herb internally without supervision since large doses can cause heart problems and death.


Borage Oil








This herb contains a variety of fatty acids that strengthen hair. You can mix borage oil with rosemary to treat brittle, dry and over-processed hair. Borage oil should only be used topically and not ingested without supervision. Applied to the scalp, a borage oil treatment will help hair grow in thicker and stronger than before.
