How to repair damaged hair with a protein hair treatment

How much love do you actually give your hair? Think about everything we do on a daily basis: blow-drying, styling, coloring, and even a sunny vacation can take its toll. While we enjoy a perfect hairstyle or a fresh color, our hair often feels otherwise. Heat, chemical treatments, and external factors leave your hair dry, fragile, and lifeless. But there is hope: a protein treatment can make a difference. It’s the boost damaged hair needs to become healthy, strong, and shiny again. Curious how it works? Read on!

Why is protein important for your hair?

Our hair consists largely of keratin, a natural protein that provides strength and elasticity. However, daily use of heat tools, chemical treatments, or even exposure to sun and sea can disrupt this natural balance. Damaged hair craves hydration and repair, and protein is the perfect answer. It restores the structure of your hair, nourishes it from within, and brings back the resilience you’ve been missing. The amount of protein you need depends on your hair type. For example, curls absolutely need protein, because it helps your bouncy locks regain definition and vitality.

When should you use protein for your hair?

Do you have damaged, dry, frizzy, or lifeless hair that breaks easily? These are signs that your hair needs protein. But also if you frequently style or dye your hair, a protein treatment is essential. Just a nourishing shampoo and conditioner are often not enough, unless they contain protein, like the Hydrating Cream Hairbath and Conditioner from Innersense.

What is a protein hair treatment?

A protein treatment is designed to restore your hair from within. It fills in damaged areas in the hair cuticles and strengthens the hair fibers. You can go for a professional treatment at the salon or use hair care products at home that contain protein. However, be cautious: too much protein can make your hair stiff or sticky, so balance is key!

There are plenty of hair care products containing protein that can be used daily or weekly, depending on your hair’s needs. The Moisture + Protein Infusion from Sans [ceuticals] is a true game-changer when it comes to protein treatments. This spray targets the internal structure of the hair to repair and protect the hair fiber with potent small molecular proteins, vitamin B, Keratrix, and Aquaxyl.

How does a protein hair treatment work?

The magic of a good protein treatment lies in hydrolyzed proteins. These attach to the hair cuticles and strengthen them from within. This process not only repairs damage but also protects your hair from future external influences. The result: healthy, shiny, and strong hair that’s ready for whatever the day brings.
