Keratin, But Make It Vegan

First, keratin. What is it really?

I’ve always thought keratin = soft silky hair. Wrong.

The truth is keratin actually exposes the hair's cortex, making it even more susceptible to damage and a dry, brittle texture. Many hair care products contain keratin, an animal protein that rinses away before it can repair damaged hair. We can try to get that type of protein in our hair in other natural ways like egg, yogurt, mayonnaise, avocado, and coconut milk. But before making an egg salad in my hair I researched the science behind Karmatin.

Combining the superpowers of science and nature

Karmatin bonds the hair for a soft, healthy, glass-like feel. Karmatin uses a vegan b-SILK™ that replaces the traditional keratin to  bond the hair, then nourish, repair and protect it. The GRO Scalp Detoxifying Serum goes deep into the scalp dirt buildup to clear out the pores and protect the scalp with a semi-permeable barrier. The GRO Revitalizing Shampoo and Conditioner use the same powerful b-SILK™ protein to physically bond the hair follicles. What really differentiates it from traditional keratin is that it stays attached to the strands even after rinsing.

But honestly, I’ve tried so many hair growth products. Does It Really Work?

‍Hair loss is the sad reality of aging, stress, lack of sleep, poor nutrition, pollution, and dirty products. So basically... 2021 summed up for me. After unboxing my beautiful sustainable Vegamour package -- 100% vegan, clean, cruelty-free, and color-safe, inside and out -- I was ready for some hair-care self-care. Typically, applying most conditioners to my scalp tends to leave it oily. But Vegamour’s vegan b-silk protein has phyto actives that aid in cleaning the scalp and adding in healthy benefits! I noticed that even after skipping two hair wash days my hair still felt soft and voluminous. I was impressed that the Karmatin actually withstood the sweat.

Vegamour’s 178,000+ Instagram followers have left thousands of positive reviews.

I binge scrolled the brand’s social feed for hundreds of hair growth tutorial videos. Sometimes it’s really hard to believe if the featured testimonials actually use the products because their hair is so beautiful, thick and voluminous (aka not me). But after watching several Youtubers post their actual hair growth transformation videos, I figured it was worth a shot.

Low Maintenance Hair Habits

I’m a simple girl. I love low maintenance products that get the job done. First: I had to learn the true art of lather, rinse, repeat.

Massaging the scalp is essential. Vegamour’s cute scalp massager helps make it a fun self-care activity. I should note that the shampoo is very concentrated, so I was careful to only use a quarter sized amount and enough water to get it out. This can sometimes take a while.

I didn’t know this, but with thin hair you’re supposed to lift the hair up from the roots while massaging in the shampoo and conditioner. Typically, applying most conditioners to my scalp tends to leave it oily. But Vegamour’s vegan b-silk protein has phyto actives that are so safe that aids in cleaning the scalp and adding in healthy benefits!

Sweaty Hair, Don’t Care

I workout about 5-6 days a week. Very sweaty strength training workouts. After using Vegamour, I noticed that after skipping two hair wash days my hair still felt pretty soft and kept its volume. I was impressed that the Karmatin actually withstood the sweat. I guess my scalp really is getting healthier. Now I’m eyeing Vegamour’s Dry Shampoo for on the go use.

You don’t have to work up a sweat to invest in Vegamour’s Gro product line. You can get the Shampoo or Conditioner for $42 each. You can also subscribe to the entire Gro Foundation Kit (Shampoo, Conditioner and Scalp Detox Serum) for $104 with free shipping. The hair growth products my hair stylist recommends are typically between $35-$50 each so this bundle is a solid investment that goes a long way since it’s concentrated.

Goodbye Clogged Drains

I dread that shameful feeling of bathing in a pool of my own hair; it’s the saddest when it’s all caught up in my fingers. But I noticed after switching to Vegamour for a month that I had only a few strands laying around here and there. My boyfriend even questioned if I have showered lately because his shower hadn’t been clogged with my hair. I’ll take it as a compliment.

I’m definitely looking forward to staying consistent with my hair wellness routine now that Vegamour has made it fun to shower again. If you’re looking to transform your own hair health, I strongly recommend giving Vegamour a close look.
