Dry, Damaged, Frizzy – Sounds Like A Hair Problem? Oh well, for every problem, there is a solution, right? Did anyone say PROTEIN?
In today’s world the frequent contact with heat and pollution damages the hair and makes it dry and damaged. Also the use of harsh chemicals can break down the natural protein in our hair. Our hair needs proteins such as keratin and amino acids to restore it smoothness and maintain its strength. While protein treatments at salons can be costly, we bring you three DIY protein masks that you can make and apply from the comfort of your own home.
