Collection: Protein Hair Treatments for Kinky Hair / Color-Treated Hair

Yes. Hair dye weakens the hair cuticle by opening the scales to allow pigment to enter. Frizzy hair, already naturally more porous, is doubly exposed. Naturiam protein treatments (Protein Hair Mask, Shampoo, and Collagen Leave-in) are formulated to fill these weakened areas, reduce excessive porosity, and extend color vibrancy.

Apply the Protein Hair Mask to clean, damp hair, section by section. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes under a heating cap or warm towel to maximize penetration. Rinse thoroughly, then apply the Collagen Leave-in to still-damp hair. Recommended frequency: every 3 to 4 weeks for maintenance, or twice in quick succession for a post-color treatment.

Yes. Collagen, a moisturizing protein, helps maintain hair fiber hydration while gently cleansing. For very dry, coily hair, it is recommended not to rub the lengths during washing — focus the shampoo on the scalp — and to follow with a conditioner or mask. Naturiam's Collagen Shampoo is suitable for weekly use.

Yes. Excess protein is indicated by stiff, brittle hair that won't stretch. The elasticity test helps confirm this: stretch a wet strand—if it breaks without stretching, stop protein treatments and switch back to pure hydrating masks. Always alternate protein treatments with hydrating treatments to maintain the balance of the hair fiber.
