| Protein-Based Treatments for Hair |
Too much use of hair treatments based protein can make hair hard and rigid. However, hair HAVE need protein, especially when they are damaged. The protein treatments are used to help repair damaged hair by penetrating the hair shaft to give it strength and durability. Many women using high protein treatments claim that some products make their hair 'dry' and 'hard' hair can sometimes break more easily because they are more rigid. This is often due to the fact that women do not properly use these products in question, they believe they need a product whereas this is not the case or the product used does not suit their hair type.
The fact is that excessive use of styling products, supposed to be 'beneficial', can have negative effects. Moisturizing balms using cholesterol are perfect for the types of very dry, coarse hair, but they can make quite oily hair and dishes are slightly dry at the base and use on fine hair make them fat. It is the same for protein therapeutics. They are used to reinforce the badly damaged and are generally not used more than once a week in the most serious cases hair.
If you think you have damaged hair and need treatment with protein, try asking your stylist for a second opinion before buying the product and begin treatment. Perhaps you simply dry hair and this problem may be easily solved with a rich moisturizing treatment or anti-frizz serum, used daily on your hair.
