At a time when many women are racking their brains on the topic of silicone and sulphate in hair care products, we decided to start a topic about one more ingredient in the balm rinse, called protein. Let's find out about its pros and cons in our small review.
Proteins are the best means for hair
Protein (protein) - this is a very common product that has a conditioning effect and is often used in a variety of hair conditioner balm. It is not a secret to anyone that hair conditioner balms with proteins possess magnificent hair-making material, that's why they perfectly help to restore the shine of hair and give them elasticity. By the way, the effectiveness of this balm for hair directly depends on the number of protein molecules, which in turn participate in filling the hair area and create on it a special delicate protective film. As a rule, proteins are able to penetrate the cuticle into the cortical layer, at this moment, compensating for the hair lacking keratin.
Despite the fact that proteins are a part of most of the means for styling and hair care, we are obliged to their appearance precisely to the conditioners that have a moisturizing function. By the way, head of hair, which needs not only moisturizing, but also in the protein "diet", also needs money with proteins. If you look at the external difference of the protein conditioner that goes into the conditioner rinse, it is a dense liquid that has a brown color. Often in the form of a protein supplement, hydrolyzed keratin is used.
Common proteins in conditioner balms
Any hair balm on its packaging usually tells us about what the protein that was used in this product was extracted from. Most often it can be: silk proteins, which are a natural biostimulant, which is obtained from the cocoons of the silkworm by chemical means; a rice protein that perfectly restores the elasticity of the hair and strengthens the structure; Wheat protein, thanks to which the hair becomes soft and silky, and the scalp moistened. Also, wheat protein weakens the action of sharp surfactants and very well regenerates the hair, which has been damaged at the time of various styling or painting. In addition to the above proteins, often a balm-rinse in the composition has a protein soy and almond, which also perform a recovery function.
By the way, all these or similar substances can have the name Keratin. This suggests that all plant proteins have natural conditioners for your hair.
Balm with proteins: the pros and cons
Protein is a substance that acts as a component of the hair tissue. The loss of protein is affected by the aggressive environment to which our hair is exposed. If you lose a huge amount of proteins, the hair becomes noticeably brittle, lose its smoothness and elasticity, and become lifeless.
Hair products with proteins are compared with heavy artillery, so use them with caution to avoid side effects.
Such balsam-rinse can be used until the hair is completely restored. Then further use should be reduced and resumed only after the next problems with the hair.
It is worth paying attention to the fact that proteins carry a different purpose - a moisturizing, softening effect. So to use balms-rinses, having proteins for hair, it is necessary for the purpose.
Overabundance of proteins can lead to an undesirable result. Remember that in the remedies with proteins only weakened hair is needed. If you have strong and stiff hair, protein balms can cause negation.
