Glow & Grow: Black Beauty, Haircare, and Skincare Tips
There must always be a perfect balance in our hair between moisture and protein. Protein gets discussed often for our bodies but our hair needs it just as much and If your hair is limp, mushy and overly moist it needs protein. Our hair is made up of a very hard protein called Keratin and quite often that keratin gets broken down by our manipulation, chemical processes like color or relaxing and the environment. Using a protein treatment periodically is a great way to keep your hair strong and healthy.
