Protein Treatment

What It Is

Unlike the smoothing treatments above, a protein treatment is less about texture and more about structural repair. It rebuilds the internal bonds that heat styling and colour processing break down over time.

It's often recommended as a pairing treatment alongside or between smoothing sessions, for hair that's breaking or over-processed.

Best For

• Breaking or over-processed hair
• Hair that feels weak or lacks elasticity
• A pairing treatment between keratin, botox, or nanoplastia sessions
• Rebuilding hair health before a bigger smoothing treatment

Results & Longevity

Results typically last 8–12 weeks. Because it addresses internal structure rather than sealing the cuticle, it's usually repeated more frequently than a full smoothing treatment.

Aftercare

Minimize heat styling in the weeks following treatment to let the rebuilt bonds settle, and use a protein-friendly, sulfate-free routine at home. Read the full aftercare guide for the three habits that make any smoothing treatment last.
