The key to any healthy hair regimen is balance. Too often we put so much focus on moisture, and not enough on protein. Our hair is made up of kertain (protein), and it is important that we restore our hair’s protein needs by utilizing treatments that specifically assist in strengthening your against damage caused by heat, manipulation and chemical processes.
It is also important to remember to do things in moderation. Too much protein can make hair stiff and brittle. Everyone’s hair is different and some hair types will require more treatments than others.
