The truth behind Moisture vs. Protein: Moisture is the hairs ability to hold water. It effects the way the hair feels. Thirsty strands feel dry, tangle easy, and is difficult to style. Proteins are formed by amino acids. They effect the structure of the hair. As bonds are chemically broken (coloring, relaxing, etc.) and put back together (neutralizing or stabilizing pH levels) amino acids are lost. Leaving gaps in the internal structure of the hair. Stylists use moisturizing treatments or protein (keratin) treatments based on your hair needs. Too much protein overfills the gaps of lost amino acids which snaps the hair. Too much moisture will leave the hair feeling oily and dirty. Heres the part YOU, the guest, has to play for that consistent balance.... Build your conditioning wardrobe at home with a daily conditioner, an instant moisturizing conditioner, and a protein conditioning treatment. Once a week use the instant moisturizing conditioner and once a week do a protein treatment. Break those days up with your daily conditioner. And VOILA! Healthy beautiful hair!!
