You’re Doing Protein Treatments Wrong — How a Salon-Grade Protein Treatment Should Be

Protein treatments are essential for repairing damaged hair — but doing them wrong can cause more harm than good. Many DIY or low-quality protein treatments lead to stiffness, dryness, and breakage.

At Hello Texture, our salon-grade protein treatments are designed to rebuild your hair safely, restore elasticity, and improve moisture retention.

Common Protein Treatment Mistakes

• Using protein treatments too frequently

• Applying treatments without proper consultation

• Ignoring hair porosity and elasticity needs

• Using the wrong formulations (e.g., DIY protein masks with eggs, mayo, avocado, or yogurt that can cause buildup or imbalance)

• Applying protein treatments under a steamer incorrectly, which can damage strands instead of strengthening them

• Not following up with moisture balancing

• Overusing high-protein products leading to brittle hair

How Hello Texture Does Protein Treatments Right

• In-depth consultations to assess hair condition and needs

• Use of customized protein formulas tailored to your hair’s porosity and damage level

• Heat-activated treatments that properly penetrate the cortex without over-processing

• Balanced application of protein and moisture to avoid dryness or stiffness

• Recommendations for proper at-home maintenance

What to Expect from a Hello Texture Protein Treatment

• Stronger, more elastic hair that resists breakage

• Improved curl definition and softness

• Better moisture retention after treatment

• Long-lasting results with proper care
