Thread: What is the difference between dry hair, and overloaded protein hair?

I have experienced both but I don't really see a difference between both:
Stiff, dry, no shine.

So how can I know if my hair is either dry or protein overloaded? Cause the remedies aren't the same..

Hi There,

Protein products can repair damage and strengthen the hair shaft, but too much protein makes hair brittle and causes breakage. A salon style protein hair mask is formulated to provide the benefits of protein but they usually cost a pretty penny at the salon. Make a protein hair mask at home that works as well or better than one you get from a salon and that is safe for your hair.

Are you distressed over your dry tresses? Dry hair lacks luster and shine, and sometimes it can be frizzy as well. Hair naturally has 10% moisture in its cortical layer (responsible for hair's strength and elasticity) and when moisture drops below that level, dryness sets in. Many factors can cause dry hair: lack of sebum production from the hair follicles, dry environment, poor hair care and the use of harsh hair chemicals or treatments. Here are some ways to restore moisture and restore healthy sebum production
