We hope all of you would have come across the protein hair treatment which involves reconstructing and strengthening the hair strands with protein. But, how do you find that your hair is badly in need of a protein treatment? Sometimes your hair might be stringy, flat, gummy and limp or it might have lost its elasticity and have high porosity. Then it’s a clear indication that your hair is dying to get a protein hair treatment.

Also, you can get this done after coloring your hair to maintain its health and growth.

So, your next question will be how do you add it up to your hair care routine?

In this article, we are going to share how to do protein hair treatment at home using simple kitchen ingredients.
