10 Best Hair Protein Treatment 2020 Guide!

10 Best Hair Protein Treatment 2020 Guide!

One thing that you need to be aware of, is the importance of a protein treatment for your hair. In this article, 10 Best Hair Protein Treatment 2020, we will look at what a protein treatment is, how to apply it, and the benefits of a hair protein treatment. Let’s begin.

What Is A Hair Protein Treatment?

Our hair is made up of keratin, amino acids, and protein. ‘It stands to reason that once the biological balance of your hair is compromised in any way, this can result in dry, brittle, and lifeless looking hair. Using protein treatments on the outside and eating a healthy diet with adequate proteins on the inside, will help make your hair the beautiful frame that it should be for your face.’##add link to this section.

How Do You Know That Your Strands Need A Protein Treatment?

 

Here are 5 signs that you can be aware of to help decide if your tresses need a protein treatment:

• The porosity – if you test your hair porosity and you find that it is more porous than usual, then this is a good sign that your hair needs that extra boost. A simple way to test this – simply fill a glass with water, place a strand in the water, if it sinks – hair is porous if it floats – hair is in good health.
• The elasticity  – if your hair has no ‘bounce-factor’, chance are, it needs help. To test the elasticity, simply take a small section, make it wet, then stretch it, if it bounces back to its original state before it was stretched, then it is fine, if it stays elongated too long, you may need a protein treatment.
• Your hair is limp – usually, healthy hair is vibrant and alive. If you find that your hair seems dull and limp, maybe its time for a revamp!
• Your hair feels clammy or sticky – it might be a case of too much moisture and you need to rebuild the strength by doing a protein treatment.
• After doing a color treatment – when you color your hair, you are breaking down the bonds  and this will make your hair weak. The protein treatment will help to maintain its dexterity .

I find that once you have an idea of when your hair might need a protein treatment, it is easier to be prepared, and hence this compilation of 10 Best Hair Protein Treatment 2020 guide to help your decision-making process when it comes to choosing a treatment.

How Do You Apply The Protein Treatment?

There are various ways to do a protein treatment:

• Using heat
• Without heat
• Applying as a leave-on product

The way you choose will depend on:

• Your lifestyle
• Your hair health or its needs
• The time available
• The budget you are working with
• Type of hair appliances that you have
• Your experience with your tresses

In any event, you need to love your tresses enough to make the effort to ensure that it always looks the best that you can muster! And if you have never done a protein treatment before, follow the directions on the label or maybe get it done professionally and watch closely. It really isn’t too complicated. It is more of a ‘waiting’ process.

What Are The Benefits Of The Protein Treatment?

There are a few major points to using a protein treatment for your hair health. The main ones, in my opinion, are listed below:

• Reconstructs the strands
• Strengthens them
• Increases your sheen by ensuring that the ‘holes’ in your strands are filled in and more able to reflect the light

Who Can Do A Hair Protein Treatment?

In actuality, anyone can do a protein treatment on their strands based on the information that they have. It is best that you assess the health of your hair and do what needs to be done. Of course, like everything in life, there has to be a balance.

So, ensure that your hair has the best balance between protein and moisture. You can read more about protein HERE, as well as about the moisture balance HERE.

In order to help you find the best product for your tresses, this article should help give you some direction as to the various products on the market that can make a difference for your strands and which to choose.

2/Nature’s Potent Argan Oil Hair Mask

Without a second thought, Nature’s Potent hair brand is a very popular protein treatment. It uses 100% organ botanicals in the formulation of their product.

This product is made ‘in the USA in an FDA registered facility following the strictest GMP manufacturing practices’ and is double packed. It is touted to being able to see the difference after just one treatment and I can believe it being possible because I love the ingredients that are combined in its formula:

• Pure Argan oil – commonly referred to as ‘liquid gold’, rich in essential nutrients and vitamins – known to improve the softness, strength, and shine of your hair
• Almond oil – rich in essential oils and minerals which help produce softness and moisture
• Pro-vitamin B-5 – helps growth and improves elasticity, prevents hair loss, as well as adding more volume
• Hydrolyzed silk – pure silk fibers, ‘silk amino acids have a low molecular weight which gives much deeper penetrating and moisturizing effects to the hair follicle and scalp’

I think this is a hair protein treatment that is worth giving a trial run.

3/Aphogee Two-step Treatment Protein 

Aphogee has been around for ages! I used to use the whole line when I was a ‘relaxed-hair girl’ and I loved the products. They gave great results, at least for my hair needs. Now that I am all natural, I still use this particular hair protein treatment occasionally. It does not have a very ‘easy smell’ on the nostrils, but it does what it is supposed to do.

Let’s look at the features:

• Rebuilds hair structure if used for a course of 6 weeks
• Can be used on permed, colored, or relaxed hair
• Reduces or even stops hair breakage

I find this hair protein treatment a good investment of time and money if you are willing to stay the course for 6 weeks to see results. You can read my review of ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment HERE!

7/Elizavecca CER-100 Collagen Coating Hair Protein Treatment

Doing this research, I found that there really are not a lot of popular hair protein treatments on the market which says a lot. Another reason why I am more inclined to use natural protein treatments like henna, eggs, and rice.

The main features:

• Is made using Ceramide3 and collagen

8/H.Y. Vitamins Keratin Infused Protein Conditioner
