It keeps hair hydrated by slowing down the loss of water from hair.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Protein is used in hair products to make it stronger, more elastic, and give it shine. Your hair will be shiny again, it will feel more bouncy and your curls will have better definition.&nbsp;<\/p><p>In addition, protein stimulates hair growth and determines elasticity. As a Curly Girl it\u2019s very important that your hair has the right elasticity so that your curl curls back when you stretch it.<\/p>\n<p><b>Also read: <\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kurlify.com\/en\/curly-girl-method\/hair-elasticity-test\/\"><b>Hair elasticity: what is it and how do you test it?<\/b><\/a><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-18b03d8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"18b03d8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">The difference between large and small proteins<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24a03db elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"24a03db\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Protein is in a number of foods that can nourish and\/or cleanse your curls. Think of wheat, soy, egg, coconut milk, yogurt and mayonnaise.<\/p><p>But the protein in these products is too big to actually penetrate the middle layer of your hair. As a result, this (large) protein cannot really restore your hair.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The protein-rich foods can temporarily make your hair feel fuller, thicker and softer, but this effect will wear off after a while as the protein can\u2019t penetrate the middle layer of your hair.&nbsp;<\/p><p>The best proteins to look for are hydrolyzed proteins (small proteins). This is protein that has been broken down into a small size &#8211; smaller molecules &#8211; that is able to penetrate your hair.&nbsp;<\/p><p>Hydrolyzed proteins can form a clear, flexible film over your hair that slows down water loss.

But don&#8217;t trust this blindly.\u00a0<\/p><p>In addition, you can see how much protein is in a product based on the indication on the ingredients list. The higher the ingredient is on the ingredient list, the more of it it contains.\u00a0<\/p><p>If protein is in one of the first five ingredients, it\u2019s a high protein hair product or protein treatment. The further down the list, the lower the protein content.<\/p><p>To assess your protein hair needs, you need to consider your hair\u2019s current health and your hair routine habits &#8211; like the use of heat, dyes or bleach, chlorine, etc..\u00a0<\/p><p>There are only a few hair types that can tolerate too much protein. So the biggest mistake you can make is to use all types of protein at once, or to use protein in all your skincare products.\u00a0<\/p><p>It\u2019s better to start with one product with protein, such as a deep conditioner. Do you have very fragile or chemically treated hair?\u00a0<\/p><p>Then you are an exception to the rule and it can be very good to use protein in all your hair products.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4dda280 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4dda280\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Hopefully everything about large and small proteins is now clear to you!
