In semi plain English keratin is a tipe of folding Protien...folding protein is when protein folds...not sure why though...keratin is around the outer part of hair and is also in protein...or skin...something like that...anyway as i was saying...keratin also has something in it that makes color like henna and hair dye cling to it...it also makes die last longer...but hair dye takes off that layer of keratin so if you dye your hair alot it will be harder to make the dye stick t your hair...I'm not sure if keratin is replenishable though...i looked this up all over the internet and the words they use blow your mind!so ya...hope this helps!
