The Essential Role of Protein Treatments in Hair Care: Strengthen Your Strands with HairMNL's Picks
January 04, 2024Hair is primarily made up of protein, specifically keratin. Over time, due to environmental factors, styling practices, and chemical treatments, hair loses its protein content, leading to damage and weakness. Protein treatments play a crucial role in restoring hair's health by replenishing lost protein, thereby strengthening and protecting hair. HairMNL offers a range of protein treatments that cater to different hair needs. This article delves into the importance of protein treatments and highlights top picks from HairMNL.
Understanding Protein Treatments
Protein treatments are designed to reinforce the hair shaft by filling in gaps caused by damage. They work by temporarily binding to the hair’s structure, repairing and strengthening it from the inside out. Regular use of protein treatments can improve hair’s elasticity, reduce breakage, and restore shine. These treatments are particularly beneficial for hair that is overly processed, brittle, or lacking in natural luster.

When and How to Use Protein Treatments
Protein treatments should be used based on the condition of your hair. Overly processed or damaged hair may benefit from weekly treatments, while less damaged hair might only need bi-weekly or monthly applications. It's important to follow the product instructions and not to overuse protein treatments, as too much protein can make hair stiff and brittle. After shampooing, apply the treatment to damp hair, focusing on mid-lengths and ends. Leave it on for the recommended time before rinsing thoroughly.
Balancing Protein with Moisture
While protein is essential for hair strength, balancing it with moisture is crucial. Overuse of protein without adequate moisture can lead to dry, stiff hair. It’s important to alternate protein treatments with hydrating conditioners or masks to maintain a healthy moisture-protein balance in your hair care routine.
