Do Your Curls Need Protein-Free Products?

Switching to protein-free products can help restore softness, flexibility, and overall health to protein-sensitive curly hair. You may benefit from protein-free curl products if:

 

  1. Your hair feels stiff, straw-like, or brittle, meaning it might be overloaded with protein. This is a common sign of protein sensitivity, indicating that your hair may benefit from protein-free products.

 

or

 

  1. You use products with protein regularly and notice a build-up on your hair that makes it feel rough or unmanageable.

 

If you are unsure if your hair is experiencing a protein build-up, or if it could be something else causing dullness, frizz, and a brittle texture, get in touch with our team of curl experts for a curl consultation, and we will assess your hair, and determine if it needs protein-free hair products, or any other specific requirements.

 

Why Use Protein-Free Hair Products

Healthy hair requires a balance of moisture and protein. While protein helps strengthen the hair by filling in gaps in the cuticle, too much protein can lead to stiffness and breakage. Conversely, moisture keeps the hair elastic and prevents dryness.

 

Protein-Free Products For Low Porosity Hair

Low porosity hair has a tightly closed cuticle layer, making it difficult for moisture and protein to penetrate. This type of hair can become easily overloaded with protein, leading to buildup and causing it to appear greasy or feel stiff and brittle. 

 

Since protein tends to sit on the surface rather than being absorbed, using protein-free products helps prevent this buildup, ensuring that your hair remains soft, manageable, and properly hydrated without the adverse effects of excess protein.

Frequently Asked Question

The frequency of use depends on your hair's specific needs. For protein-sensitive or low porosity hair, using protein-free products regularly can help maintain moisture balance. You can incorporate them into your daily or weekly hair care routine based on how your hair responds.

It's best to use protein-free products exclusively if you suspect protein overload. Once your hair has recovered and feels balanced, you can gradually reintroduce protein-rich products if needed. Always monitor your hair's condition to avoid protein buildup.

Absolutely. Protein-free products are generally safe for colour-treated hair and can help maintain moisture balance without affecting your colour. They provide gentle care to keep your hair hydrated and healthy.
