That is not a lie: all hair types need constant hydration. However, sometimes it is not only the lack of moisture that affects the hair. <a href=\"https:\/\/metrobrazil.com\/products\/protein-treatment-kit-for-hair-by-sao-lindas-150ml?_pos=3&amp;_sid=7ae259fb6&amp;_ss=r\">Proteins<\/a> are also an essential ingredient for hair\u2019s maintenance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Protein is the main responsible for reverting and repairing damage. Because of it, it is necessary for all hair types, but some of them, such as chemical-treated hair, need it even more. This article will help you discover if your hair needs protein, explain what hair protein is and all of its benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-does-hair-need-protein\"><strong>Why does hair need protein?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"361\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/young-woman-applying-oil-onto-her-hair-indoors_73763-789-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2043\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/young-woman-applying-oil-onto-her-hair-indoors_73763-789-1.jpg 626w, https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2021\/06\/young-woman-applying-oil-onto-her-hair-indoors_73763-789-1-300x173.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/metrobrazil.com\/products\/protein-treatment-kit-for-hair-by-sao-lindas-150ml?_pos=3&amp;_sid=7ae259fb6&amp;_ss=r\">Protein<\/a> is the major component of our hair. Daily aggressions remove part of these proteins from our hair cuticles and it results in gaps. The more gaps, the more damaged the hair is.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That\u2019s why there are so many products and treatments enriched with proteins: we need to replenish it to fill the gaps, repair damage and protect the hair from new aggressions. Keratin is an example of one of the most famous proteins &#8211; and it is the main protein that builds the hair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Signs that your hair needs protein<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"626\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/sad-disappointed-woman-with-freckles-messy-hair-white-tshirt-standing-feels-depressed-yellow_295783-14883.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3256\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/sad-disappointed-woman-with-freckles-messy-hair-white-tshirt-standing-feels-depressed-yellow_295783-14883.jpg 626w, https:\/\/blog.metrobrazil.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2022\/01\/sad-disappointed-woman-with-freckles-messy-hair-white-tshirt-standing-feels-depressed-yellow_295783-14883-300x200.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 626px) 100vw, 626px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Porous hair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Damaged hair has gaps in its structure and one of the most noticeable consequences of it is a harsh and porous texture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Bubble gum texture<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If your hair feels sticky and gummy, similar to a bubble gum texture, you need urgent help. This is the result of serious damage and recharging protein is necessary to save your strands and avoid an even worse situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Lack of elasticity<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The lack of elasticity is even more noticeable in the case of curly hair. If your curls are harder to define and are losing their natural shape, this is a bad sign. Lack of elasticity is a typical symptom of damaged hair, but the good news, once again, is that protein treatments can recover it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Colored treated hair<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some chemical processes are really harmful for hair\u2019s health and the coloring process requires extra attention. Adding pigments to hair can make it dryer. Bleaching is even worse: by removing hair\u2019s natural pigments; the bleach also removes nutrients that are essential for its health &#8211; including proteins. You have to replenish it asap!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"footnote_referrer\"><a role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" onclick=\"footnote_moveToReference_3611_1('footnote_plugin_reference_3611_1_1');\" onkeypress=\"footnote_moveToReference_3611_1('footnote_plugin_reference_3611_1_1');\" ><sup id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_3611_1_1\" class=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text\">[1]<\/sup><\/a><span id=\"footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_3611_1_1\" class=\"footnote_tooltip\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.redken.com\/blog\/haircare\/5-signs-your-hair-needs-a-protein-treatment\"><span class=\"footnote_url_wrap\">https:\/\/www.redken.com\/blog\/haircare\/5-signs-your-hair-needs-a-protein-treatment<\/span><\/a><\/span><\/span><script type=\"text\/javascript\"> jQuery('#footnote_plugin_tooltip_3611_1_1').tooltip({ tip: '#footnote_plugin_tooltip_text_3611_1_1', tipClass: 'footnote_tooltip', effect: 'fade', predelay: 0, fadeInSpeed: 200, delay: 400, fadeOutSpeed: 200, position: 'top center', relative: true, offset: [-7, 0], });<\/script><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Test if your hair needs protein<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are still in doubt, you can take a practical test to check if your hair really needs more <a href=\"https:\/\/metrobrazil.com\/products\/protein-treatment-kit-for-hair-by-sao-lindas-150ml?_pos=3&amp;_sid=7ae259fb6&amp;_ss=r\">protein<\/a>.
