Protein can be amazing for your hair. But it can also lead to protein overload if it's too much. How to tell if your hair needs protein? Let's find out!
Does your hair feel kind of "limp" compared to it's normal state? For curls this means less definition, too. This can be a sign that your hair needs protein.
If your hair is bleached, it does need protein. Period. Bleaching literally destroys the hair structure, and you can limit the visual damage by using protein.
Is your hair dry, brittle, and breaks and tangles easily? Uh, oh! Your hair likely has too much protein.
If your hair feels healthy and bouncy, you don't need extra protein. Overdoing it is not a good idea. You know how they say "Don't fix what's not broken."
