8 Best Protein Treatments for Hair (Tested & Reviewed 2024)
Hone in on your hair type.
Some formulas will be way too heavy or way too light for certain hair types. For instance, 4A and up curls will need thicker, more moisturizing formulas while those on with more fine and wavy hair will want something lighter that won’t weigh hair down.
Pick your protein properly.
Hardges recommends plant proteins for at-home use. In addition to plant protein, opt for a formula that also contains moisturizing agents, like oils and butters, too. Proteins and moisture go hand in hand, says Gomes, so you really want something that’s going to offer that two-pronged approach.
Remember, high price doesn't equal high quality.
There are plenty of A+ protein treatments out there (many of them listed above) that come at price point that doesn't break the bank. Sometimes the simplest, least complicated formula is the one that your hair needs. So, don’t be fooled by the idea that more expensive is better, because that’s not always the case.
