3 easy ways to use protein in your curly routine

The unique design of the BY SELINA Restorative Protein Drops put you in the driving seat when adding protein to your curly hair routine. The dropper system allows you to control how much and where in your curly hair routine protein is added. We suggest the following amounts depending on how much protein you would like to add to your routine.

  • One to two drops for light, everyday protein use.
  • Three to four drops for a medium protein hit
  • Five to six drops for an intense protein treatment.

All of the proteins in our unique protein blend are hydrolysed, this means that the proteins are small enough to penetrate the hair strand and provide amazing benefits from the inside out. Check out our full list of ingredients for more information Restorative Protein Drops – By Selina

Cleansing

Protein can be an amazing addition to your cleansing step. This is especially true if like myself your hair prefers only a light amount of protein. Adding protein in this stages allows you to gain the benefits from our curly hair protein blend without the feeling of protein overload. The addition of protein during your cleansing step is also great if you find that sometimes using a shampoo can be drying on your curls. Hydrolysed proteins such as those found in the BY SELINA Restorative Protein Drops can help to counteract the drying that some curlies face when using a shampoo. The protein drops also help to reduce tangles that some curlies can get when cleansing with a shampoo. If you are also suffer with dry, itchy flaky scalps then the addition of our protein blend with hydrolysed quinoa to the BY SELINA Scalp & Curl Cleansing Shampoo or Curl Cleanser and Conditioner can help to reduce dandruff and ease itchy scalps.

Conditioning

Adding protein during the conditioning step is one of the best ways to ensure you are getting all the benefits of protein into your curly hair. All of the proteins in the BY SELINA Restorative Protein Drops are hydrolysed, this means that they can easily penetrate the hair strand and get to work from the inside, out. When conditioning your curls, you will often squeeze conditioner into the hair (also known as squish to condition), this pushes the conditioner into the hair strand. Doing this with the protein drops added also pushes those all important protein right down into the cortex of the hair so that they can provide their amazing benefits. Benefits of also adding protein to your conditioning step include the ease of detangling. Protein helps with conditioning the hair which in turn aids with the detangling process for some curlies.

Styling

For all day, maximum protein benefits you can add your BY SELINA Restorative Protein Drops during your styling step. One of the many benefits of the hydrolysed proteins included in the BY SELINA protein blend is that they can help with curl definition and provide amazing volume to the hair. The blend of hydrolysed wheat, rice, quinoa and baobab protein also help t seal split ends, protect the hair from everyday pollution and helps seal in that all important hydration and moisture for curly hair.
