Protein Treatments for natural hair

Protein Treatments are great for restoring and mending broken hair as well as bringing back shine and  strengthening the hair strands.  Hydrolyzed protein is made up of amino acids and are whats best for protein treatments because they are small enough to penetrate the hair shaft. Unlike homemade protein treatments that include egg, which do not contain hydrolyzed protein. Protein treatments are meant to place a temporary shield around the hair to lessen further damage. How often one applies a protein treatment depends on the damage of their hair. Lets take a look:

 

 

Aphogee (Two-Step Protein Treatments)

This is one of the best proteins among naturals and I can’t help but say this treatment turned me into a believer. It is said to stop breakage and restore hair structure. APHogee is formulated with magnesium and modified proteins which fuse into the hair with the application of heat. The products state that it should be applied every 6-8 weeks depending on the damage of your hair. During the process of applying APHogee it hardens and suggests not to comb during the hair. To return the hair back to its original state of softness, it is best to apply APHogee Balanced Moisturizer after the protein treatment is complete.

 

 

Creme of Nature Intensive Conditioning Treatment (semi-mild treatment)

Creme of Nature ICT is said to infuse moisture into the hair shaft and prevent further breakage. It leaves the hair silkier, softer, and full of body. It is suggested for best results to use on color treated hair and chemically processed hair. It can also be used on transitioning or natural hair.

 

 

Palmers Coconut Oil Deep Conditioning Pack (mild treatment)

Palmers restores and replenishes dry, damaged, and colored hair that resulted from the sun, processing, or styling. This product is formulated with coconut oil, coconut milk, vitamin e, keratin, and silk protein. This product should be used for when you need more than just a conditioning treatment. Palmers also replaces natural proteins that have been stripped from the hair strands.

 

 

 

 

Some protein treatments can be more mild than others. When choosing a treatment make sure you are following the written instructions to ensure that you are applying it correctly. Protein treatments generally should be applied 6-8 weeks, but can be applied later or earlier depending on the damage of your hair.
