Which One Is More Needed For Kusam And Rontok Hair, Protein Or Implementation?

YOGYAKARTA If you feel dull hair and fall out or break easily, you may wonder if your hair needs more protein or more moisture. Hair experts state that hair requires a balance between the two elements to stay healthy and strong. Hair structure consists of multiple layers. In the middle layer (context) it depends heavily on protein. While the outer layer (cuticle) regulates the ability of hair to absorb and maintain moisture. If one aspect is lacking, the hair can become fragile (if it lacks protein) or dry and lose elasticity (if it lacks moisture).

According to hair management expert and hair care brand founder, Valery Joseph, reported by Byrdie, Wednesday, November 5, the disulfide bond is a hair building block that maintains the natural shape of the hair. This association is important to maintain hair structure (cortex), including the strength and shape of the curly or straight hair. If the hair is deficient in protein, the hair can lose elasticity, feels soft or free' when wet, easily broken, and looks dull.

The causes of protein deficiency can come from exposure to heat (peering, straightening), chemical procedures such as coloring or bleaching, as well as UV or chlorine light exposure. Well, a simple way to check protein adequacy on hair, you can do a simple test at home. This trial is called a stretch test, how to pull hair when wet and pay attention to whether it breaks immediately or can still stretch a little. If it breaks immediately, it means that the hair is deficient in protein.

Trichologist and medical scientist, Isfahan Chambers Harris, explained that humidity is very important to maintain softness and hair elasticity. Haircuticle layers allow water in and out, if the citticle is too open or too closed, the hair will not be able to maintain moisture properly.

Hair that lacks moisture usually feels rough, easily tangled, and looks dull because it is not able to maintain water properly. Causes of lack of moisture include dry air, excessive use of hot equipment, body dehydration, and using hair products that inhibit water absorption. You can test it with a float test. The trick is that hair with high porosity will sink in the water because it absorbs a lot of water but also loses moisture quickly.

Dr. Chambers Harris stressed, we need protein to strengthen hair structure, and moisture to ensure softness and elasticity. That is, one is no more important than the other. He suggests using a conditioner or balanced hair mask. That is, it contains moisture and a number of light proteins to keep hair strong and flexible.

As a general routine, it is recommended to do deep conditioning that is rich in moisture on a weekly basis. While protein therapy is sufficient every 36 weeks depending on the condition of the hair. After treatment, you can re-stretch the test or float test to check whether the hair is back in balance.

In short, dull and lossy hair is not only for one reason. Often your hair requires a balanced combination of protein and moisture to return to health. By recognizing signs of protein deficiency or humidity, you can adjust hair care to make it more targeted. A consistent routine of care and a good diet will help your hair become strong, luminous, and elastic again. Try to evaluate your hair condition periodically and adjust the treatment according to the needs so that your hair is always in optimal condition.
