Protein Treatment For Natural Hair



Protein treatment is a great way to strengthen hair strands. The protein attaches to follicles and penetrates cuticle layers.

I don’t frequent the beauty salon much, but I normally get my protein treatments there. Since personal care businesses are closed because of the coronavirus pandemic, now is time to take matters into my own hands.

I’ve made protein treatments in the past. But this time, I wanted to focus on combining strength with moisture.
