Your hair can be damaged by the sun, heated tools, diet, and chemical treatments. These don’t just damage the hair on the surface, giving it a rough appearance but also damage the main protein in your hair, known as keratin. They can ruin the inner protein structure of your hair, and rob it of its natural moisture. The lack of moisture can become even more exaggerated if you already have dry, damaged hair. Protein treatments for hair can aid in restoring the overall structure of severely damaged and dry hair.

What are Protein Treatments?

Protein treatments are a type of hair care that uses specialized products on the hair to treat and prevent further damage while also rehydrating the hair. These are widely available and you can either get protein treatments for hair at home or in a salon. You can apply protein treatments to your hair to strengthen them, while also shielding them from further harm. These products might contain collagen and keratin, which support structural hair restoration, and the oils support moisture replenishment.

After undergoing a short-term treatment at a salon for your dry and damaged hair, OTC products can also help you maintain your results from short-term treatments if you regularly use heated styling products or chemical treatments. It is important to note that protein treatments aren't intended to replace your hair type's specific shampoo and conditioner. Instead, they are designed to complement these products for maximum benefit. To avoid potentially harmful ingredients like formaldehyde, be sure to carefully read product labels and not fall for products that are going to further harm your hair.

Benefits of Protein Treatments

There are many benefits of protein treatments for hair, some of which have already been discussed above. The main benefits of protein treatments for your hair, however, are:

  • Increased hydration
  • Less frizz
  • More lustre and shine
  • Reduced breakage
  • Fewer split ends

How do Protein Treatments Work?

There are three main formulas for protein treatments:

  • Long-lasting deep treatments.
  • Treatments that can be used as a shower rinse.
  • Leave-in conditioners to be used after shampooing.

To make sure you get the best results, you have to choose the best formula and treatment for your hair type. Along with proteins like keratin and collagen, you may want to look for goods that contain either synthetic or natural oils, like silicone or argan oil, respectively. These ingredients have emollient properties that may give your hair extra softness and shine. A hairstylist might also advise you to get a hair treatment with high-quality protein in the salon.
