What is Protein Treatment for Hair
Let’s clarify what a hair protein treatment actually is. To put it simply, your hair is protein. A protein called keratin makes up the majority of your hair strand, keeping it healthy, strong and full of elasticity.
Damage caused by styling, coloring and pollution don’t do your hair much good. They will cause the keratin to start breaking down.
Certain lifestyle and diet choices can also lead to general keratin-deficiency in your body. Maintaining a balanced, protein-rich diet is essential for healthy hair growth. Some even claimed that certain protein-rich foods can make your hair grow faster. The combination of poor diet and damage caused by styling cause your hair strands to break.
Hair Protein Treatment repairs the keratin thus strengthening your hair. It can either be a treatment you purchase from a beauty store, or a homemade protein treatment.
What Does Hair Protein Treatment Do
It will repair hair strands by attaching hydrolysed proteins to the hair cuticle and hardening the cuticle layer.
If there are holes in the hair cuticle, it will patch up these gaps. It will also place a barrier around the hair shaft to lessen future damage. This is how it strengthens and repairs your severely damaged hair.
Is Protein Good for Your Hair
There are many benefits of using a protein treatment on your hair. It can be an effective way to temporarily repair damaged hair by filling in the gaps on the hair cuticle, caused by styling or heat damage. They are also great in reducing breakage and making your hair smoother, stronger and shinier.
But, if you’re about to ask, ‘Can it damage my hair?’, the answer is that overusing can have some ‘side effects’. Adding an excessive amount of protein to your hair can make it feel dry, brittle and stiff. Your first step should be checking how often your this treatment needs to be done – and then sticking to it.
Plus, most protein treatments should always be accompanied with moisture restoring. Avoid deep conditioning treatment that would render your hair strands getting stiff and crunchy.
The most important thing to remember is that most types of hair protein treatment are to be used on severely damaged hair, not hair that is healthy (but, maybe a little dry) or minor damage.
How Often Should a Treatment Be Done
How often should a protein treatment be done will depend on the type of treatment you choose, as well as your hair type. Some gentler types of protein treatments can be used more frequently (for example, once a week or so), while more intense protein treatments should be used less often (every 4 to 6 weeks) and with extra care. Before you apply a protein treatment, do read the label to see how frequently it should be used.
