Although not all of us know the importance of proteins, the reality is that they play a very important role when it comes to having strong and healthy hair.
Our hair is made up of proteins called structural proteins, the best known of which is keratin. The main function of these proteins is to protect the hair, give it strength and shine, and prevent it from falling out more than usual.
They can be obtained through hair treatments or through food.
When we suffer from a protein deficit we notice that our hair loses shine, is more fragile and falls out more. In these cases it is very important to carry out treatments that provide us with proteins to improve the health of our hair.
But it is very important not to overdo it with the protein intake, because an excess of protein can have the opposite effect.
An abuse of protein can cause the strands to break very easily and the hair to lose elasticity and feel stiff and heavy.
How do we know if our hair needs protein or if we have abused it?
To identify what our hair needs we will take a strand that has been left in a brush or has fallen out for some reason and exert a little force from both ends.
If the hair automatically breaks when stretched, it is indicating that it needs moisture.
And if when you stretch it instead of breaking it stretches like an elastic and when you let it go it breaks, it is indicating that our hair needs protein urgently. In addition, we can also observe if we notice dry or brittle hair, if it has been damaged by bleaching or coloring or if it falls out more and more.
How to provide protein to our hair?
If we want to provide an extra dose of protein to our hair we should do it through treatments such as Sublime 10.31, which help to moisturize the hair, regenerate it, and also provides an extra dose of moisture and softness.
