Protein treatments are not weekly products. Used at the right interval they put strength back into hair that has gone limp and stretchy from bleach or heat. Used too often they do the opposite and leave it stiff, so read this as an occasional treatment rather than a conditioner.

The protein here comes from yogurt, with manuka honey holding moisture alongside it and mafura and baobab oils keeping the whole thing from drying the hair out. That balance is what the formula is built around, because protein on its own makes hair brittle.

Use it when hair feels weak, mushy when wet, or is snapping at the mid-lengths. Once a month is a reasonable starting point and less often if your hair already feels stiff. Follow it with a moisturising conditioner. For type 2 through 3b hair that has been coloured, relaxed or heat-styled hard. 8 oz / 237 ml.

Application tips

Wash first, then get most of the water out with a towel, because this needs to sit on the strand rather than float in it.

Spread it thinly and evenly, ends included, and set a timer for the time on the tub instead of guessing. Rinse it out completely. Anything left behind is what makes protein-treated hair feel like wire.

Results

Hair that felt mushy when wet firms up and holds its shape again.

Strands stretch and come back rather than stretching and staying stretched, which is what stops them breaking at the mid-length. The texture goes slightly firmer to the touch, which is normal for protein.

Colour-damaged or bleached lengths feel less spongy from the first treatment, and the improvement holds for a few weeks before the hair starts asking for another one.
