A natural source of non-animal proteins, hydrolyzed wheat protein is a highly effective ingredient for thickening hair. It has a low molecular weight which allows it to penetrate damaged cuticles and strengthen hair from within.
It is beneficial for anyone who has fine, porous or chemically treated hair as it reduces porosity (minute holes in the hair shaft) and repairs damaged follicles to increase thickness, add volume and make it easier to style. It is also ideal for those with thinning hair, as it can add more body and fullness to the strands and improve their texture.
The best way to use hydrolyzed wheat protein is to mix it with your moisturizing conditioner, which will help you get the most out of the product. It will provide your strands with a deep conditioning effect, leaving them feeling silky and soft.
When choosing a hydrolyzed wheat protein treatment, it is important to choose one that has the correct ratio of ingredients. Garshick recommends Kiehl's Rice and Wheat Volumizing Shampoo or L'Oreal Elvive Total Repair Extreme Renewing Conditioner, as they have the right balance of hydration, conditioning and protein to boost your hair's health.
Hydrolyzed wheat protein is a high-quality cosmetic grade ingredient that contains a unique hydrating complex that has moisture-balancing and film-forming properties. This emollient helps to give your strands better body and control, increased shine, and greater gloss. It can be used in a wide range of DIY shampoos, liquid soaps, glycerine soaps and creams.
