Protein Treatment

[yellowduck]

Hello! I've heard of a so called 'protein treatment' for hair. What exactly does it entail / do? You see I've got split ends and my hair is quite dry and frizzy so I'm trying to find something that will condition it well but I don't want to waste my money. If anyone's had it done somewhere good can you tell me where? Thanks very much x x x

I have protein treatment on my hair when I get it cut.  People often comment on how glossy my hair looks.  Ok - so often is an exaggeration - but enough people notice the difference.  And it always feels nice.  It also seems to go a day without a wash without being totally gross - it never did that before.  I have mine done at a salon in Cheltenham.  I don't think I can tell you the name as we're not allowed to advertise.  It's not a chain.  However, it is the best salon mum and I have ever used.  (Opposite Cheltenham Town Hall, initials SH for anyone local to Chelt).  I say go for it - it usually gets applied via a head massage too - always a treat! :-)

Hi acw,

 

What is the protein treatment called. Just so we know what to ask for.

Thx

Mmmm - the girl/lady just says "do you want protein treatment" and I say "yes please"!!  The salon uses Bumbles (?) products so it may be one of theirs.  Of course the protein treatment quality may vary brand to brand, but it's very rare for salons to offer more than one brand anyway.  Good luck - and enjoy the glossyness! :-)

I live with a hairdresser and she always goes on about protein treatments. apparently they restructure the hair. she says that it takes a time and a few applications because the hair, at first, goes slightly `hard' but that won't last long and will gorgeous and glossy soon. x
