Strengths
Hydrolysed wheat protein prevents further weakening of hair strands, making it an excellent choice for damaged or chemically treated hair.
Caution
Protein Wheat Liquid Hydrolysed is a brown-coloured liquid derived from wheat germ. In order to penetrate the hair shafts and strengthen the locks from within, wheat germ is made to undergo a process known as hydrolysation, a process where the protein is cut into smaller parts. This makes it easier for the hair to absorb them.
