A New Era of Inclusive Hair Care

Kerashaft: Redefining Hair Care Naturally

In the world of hair care, inclusivity is more important than ever. Recent steps, such as California mandating textured hair education for cosmetology licensing, underscore the need for products that cater to all hair types and ensure that no one is left behind. Consumers want formulations that recognize and address the unique needs of every individual, from straight to wavy, curly, and coily textures.

Kalichem‘s Kerashaft range is designed with this inclusivity in mind—providing innovative solutions that blend biotechnology with nature’s finest resources to meet the needs of all hair textures and types. Whether it’s reducing frizz, enhancing volume, or repairing damage, Kerashaft ensures that everyone can achieve their best hair, regardless of type.

The Kerashaft collection includes Kerashaft Alab, Kerashaft Q, and Kerashaft V, each developed with a unique blend of vegetable-derived peptides to provide remarkable hair restructuring, conditioning, and anti-frizz effects. Whether it’s Caucasian, curly, or afro-textured hair, Kerashaft offers customized care, all while staying true to its green origins.

Kerashaft ALAB: Hair Detangling, Anti-frizz & Styling Action

Kerashaft Alab is Kalichem’s cationic conditioning active that delivers a surprising punch. Unlike many traditional cationic conditioners that are heavy or prone to buildup, Kerashaft Alab provides effortless detangling, anti-frizz properties, and styling functionality—all without compromising the environment. Its formulation features biotech postbiotics and vegetable polypeptides that ensure high compatibility with natural formulations.

The data speaks for itself: with over 50% reduction in frizz across various humidity conditions and up to 130% increase in grooming ease compared to a placebo, Kerashaft Alab outshines conventional counterparts without the negative buildup effects. The active’s biodegradability and ability to maintain vibrant hair shine make it a great companion for those looking for both efficacy and sustainability.

Kerashaft Q: Detangling and Anti-Static Active

Kerashaft Q focuses on reconstructing damaged keratin. It utilizes green peptides technology, featuring oligopeptides and polypeptides derived from natural sources like pea, rice, and soy. Kerashaft Q repairs disulfide bonds within hair, improving cuticle structure and increasing resilience against damage. Functional tests demonstrate that hair treated with Kerashaft Q shows a significant boost in sulfur content—up to 49% more than benchmark keratin—helping improve strength, elasticity, and overall structure.

In addition to its remarkable restructuring capability, Kerashaft Q enhances the shine of treated hair and reduces static, making it an effective option for formulations aimed at damaged or color-treated hair. Whether used in shampoos, conditioners, or professional treatments, it supports effective keratin reconstruction that rivals conventional synthetic treatments.

Kerashaft V: Damaged Keratin Restructuring & Reconstruction

If volume and moisture are what your consumers crave, Kerashaft V delivers in spades. Formulated with vegetable-derived amino acids and polypeptides, this active boosts hair volume, enhances hydration, and adds noticeable shine. When tested against benchmark keratin treatments, Kerashaft V delivered 325% more sulfur to the hair, a key element in creating stronger, fuller strands.

Hair treated with Kerashaft V also experienced a 17% increase in diameter, giving the hair a fuller, healthier appearance. Whether it’s straight, curly, or ethnic hair, Kerashaft V is ideal for products aiming to repair and nourish, while adding that much-needed volume.

A Green Approach Without Compromise

Each product in the Kerashaft range stands as a testament to the possibilities that arise when nature meets innovation. Unlike many traditional conditioning and keratin treatments that rely on synthetic ingredients, Kerashaft products offer professional-level performance through a carefully crafted blend of biotechnology and plant-derived ingredients.

Ideal for a wide range of applications—from everyday shampoos and conditioners to specialized salon treatments—the Kerashaft range allows formulators to craft products that meet the rising consumer demand for natural, sustainable, and effective hair care solutions. No more compromise between efficacy and eco-friendliness—Kerashaft is here to prove that you can have it all.
