Do Your Curls Need Protein?
Signs hair needs protein:
- Curls losing their shape throughout the day
- Hair looking lackluster or dull
- Hair is colour-treated, damaged, or has been frequently straightened in the past
- Hair snaps or breaks easily when pulled
The Benefits Of Protein For Curly Hair
Proteins work by helping fill in gaps in the hair cuticle, sealing in moisture and preventing it from escaping. This helps curly hair retain hydration, and improves curl retention, resulting in softer, more hydrated curls that are less prone to dryness and frizz.
Proteins like keratin help improve the hair's elasticity, allowing it to stretch without breaking. This elasticity is essential for maintaining the natural bounce and flexibility of curly hair, preventing it from becoming brittle and prone to breakage. It is also important to note that our hair is made up mostly of protein so all hair benefits from some protein in their routine.
