If you have protein sensitive hair, you will notice that your hair often feels stiff and dry, no matter how often you wash and deep condition your hair. That’s why in this post, I will be providing 10 protein-free deep conditioners you can try in your natural hair.
Even though our hair needs protein, and a protein-moisture balance is so crucial for healthy hair, the dangerous truth is that if there’s an overload of protein in your hair, it can cause more harm than good.
That’s because a lot of hair products are formulated with some form of protein. So by the time you’ve added the shampoo, deep conditioner, leave-in conditioner, styling product, gel and serum, you might end up piling way too much protein in your hair without knowing.
Therefore whenever you can, try to use a protein-free product until your hair bounces back to health.
Examples of proteins in hair products includes amino acids, keratin, soy, and of course protein.
You can also use these products in your hair if you have low porosity hair.
