Protein & Vitamin Hair Treatment

The Protein & Vitamin Hair Treatment is a lightweight, leave-in protein treatment for dry, fragile or damaged-looking hair, including gray hair. It combines three plant proteins (Hydrolyzed Rice, Jojoba and Soy Protein) with Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Vitamin E and botanical oils such as Kukui Nut, Camellia Seed, Macadamia Nut and Avocado. It absorbs quickly without residue and helps hair look fuller, feel softer and shine more, with no rinsing needed.

A protein treatment helps smooth rough, weakened areas along the hair strand, so hair looks stronger, smoother and fuller. Hair that is dry, colored, heat-styled or naturally gray often loses some of that structure. The Protein & Vitamin Hair Treatment uses small hydrolyzed plant proteins that attach to the hair surface, while botanical oils add moisture so hair stays flexible instead of stiff. The result is softer, shinier hair that is easier to manage, with less visible breakage.

No rinsing is needed: this is a leave-in treatment. Shake the bottle well, then after shampooing and conditioning, apply a small amount to damp hair. Massage it through from roots to ends, paying extra attention to the ends, which are usually the driest. For deeper absorption, wait about 10 minutes before styling, then style as usual. Start with a dime-sized amount and add more only if your hair is long or thick.

Because the Protein & Vitamin Hair Treatment is a leave-in formula, you can leave it in until your next wash. Many rinse-out protein treatments need to be timed and washed out, but this one is made to stay on the hair without residue or a sticky feel. For best absorption, give it about 10 minutes after you apply it before you blow-dry or style your hair.

Use the Protein & Vitamin Hair Treatment once or twice a week, or as needed. That is enough for most hair types to keep strands looking strong and smooth. If your hair is very dry, bleached or brittle, twice a week works well. If your hair ever starts to feel stiff or straw-like, space out the applications and focus on moisture, for example with our Leave-In Conditioner, until it feels soft again.

Yes. Gray hair often feels drier, coarser and more fragile, and the Protein & Vitamin Hair Treatment was made with those needs in mind. Its plant proteins support the look of stronger strands, while Kukui Nut, Camellia Seed and Avocado Oils soften coarse texture. It is lightweight, so it won't weigh down fine gray hair, and it contains no dyes, so it will not change the color of silver or white hair. For a complete routine, pair it with our Gray Hair Conditioner.

The Protein & Vitamin Hair Treatment contains three plant proteins: Hydrolyzed Jojoba Protein, Hydrolyzed Rice Protein and Hydrolyzed Soy Protein. For vitamins, it includes Panthenol (Vitamin B5), which helps hair hold moisture and adds shine, and Tocopherol (Vitamin E). It also has Papaya, Sea Kelp, Burdock and Nettle Extracts, and oils such as Kukui Nut, Camellia Seed, Macadamia Nut, Avocado and Sea Buckthorn, on a base of Aloe Vera Hydrosol. Because it contains soy protein, check the full ingredient list if you are sensitive to soy.

Yes. The Protein & Vitamin Hair Treatment is designed to work with color-treated and natural hair. It is free from sulfates, parabens and silicones and contains no harsh detergents, so it will not strip or dull your color. Using it once or twice a week helps colored, highlighted or bleached hair look smoother, shinier and healthier between salon visits.

No. The Protein & Vitamin Hair Treatment is a lightweight formula that absorbs quickly and leaves no sticky or greasy residue. It contains no silicones, so hair feels light and clean rather than coated. On fine or thin hair, use a small amount and focus it on the mid-lengths and ends. It can even help flat, limp strands look lifted and fuller.

Yes, too much protein can make hair feel stiff, rough or brittle, which is why balance matters. The Protein & Vitamin Hair Treatment is gentle enough to use once or twice a week, and it includes moisturizing oils and Panthenol to keep hair flexible. If your hair starts to feel hard or squeaky, use it less often and add moisture with a conditioner or leave-in conditioner. If your hair feels mushy or overly stretchy when wet, that is often a sign it could use more protein.
