Amino Acid Treatment Shampoo
Amino Acids are molecules that combine to form proteins and proteins help build better hair. Regular moisturizing shampoo or conditioner could only temporary solve dry or weak hair issue as the solution is only on the surface. Whereas Amino Acid build repairs.
Who needs this?
Color treated hair, those naturally curly, frizzy or weak, thin hair that breaks easily will need this shampoo. Hair with weak roots, dull looking could see a good improvement as well. So how does it help?
- Provide Protection - Amino Acids fill in the damaged gap of the outer layer of hair cuticle, thus provide protective layer. This makes hair smoother, easier to comb and less pulling means less breakage.
- Boost Keratin - Keratin which makes up of 95% of our hair shaft is basically made up of amino acid.
- Hydrating and Strengthening - it draws moisture into the hair, thus help to strengthen hair shaft and create a barrier to prevent moisture lost.
- Increase Volume - Amino Acid adds body to hair, thus thicker looking hair and overall increase in volume
- Brings Shine - The protein brings shine to hair naturally and decrease fizziness.
