Want strong, healthy hair? Try these 5 homemade protein treatments
Your hair may become damaged and excessively dry due to frequent exposure to harsh chemical-based hair care products, heat styling, and pollution, stripping it of the protein content, i.e., keratin and essential amino acids. If your hair strands feel brittle, weak, and break often, they might need a protein treatment. Check out these five natural, DIY protein treatments for stronger and healthier hair.
