Vatika Egg Protein Rejuvenating Shampoo for Strengthening & Repairing Weak, Damaged Hair 200ml/6.76 oz
Egg protein is an old idea in hair care and it keeps coming back because it works on the right hair. Vatika's shampoo puts it to work on strands that have gone weak, brittle and dull.
Protein reinforces the hair's own keratin structure. On damaged hair that means fewer split ends and less breakage, and a visible change in how the hair holds together when you handle it. There is a shine and softness benefit alongside the strengthening, which is what stops a protein wash feeling like a punishment.
Worth knowing that protein suits some hair and overwhelms others. If your curls already feel stiff and straw-like, alternate this with a moisturising wash rather than using it every time. If your hair feels limp, over-elastic and snaps when you stretch a strand, this is the one to reach for.
Vatika sell it in a 200ml/6.76 oz bottle, which is enough to run a proper trial without committing to a litre of something your hair may turn out not to want. Suits wavy through to 3c textures that have been through colour or heat.

Application tips
Protein shampoos want a limit. Once or twice a week is enough for most heads, with a moisturising shampoo in between.
Wet the hair, work a small amount into the scalp and the roots where the strand is youngest, and let the rest carry down. Leave it a minute. Rinse properly, then use a conditioner, because protein without moisture behind it is what makes hair feel like straw.
Results
Egg powder is on the label because weak, snapping hair is what this shampoo is for. Strands feel firmer straight after washing and hold together better when you comb them out wet.
Dimethiconol and a guar conditioner stay behind after rinsing, so the hair still feels smooth rather than squeaky. Nothing in a bottle mends a split, but less breakage means fewer new ones.
