A chain is only as strong as its weakest link, and hair is only as strong as its weakest section.

Hair breaks at its weakest point, so keep it strong with products
containing protein, panthenol, oils, butters, silicone and herbs.

·Protein will help in rebuilding the hair shaft from any damage incurred
from heat, styling products and/or tools. Protein is the building block
of hair. There are a many sources for hair protein like: milk, egg,
wheat (also good for shine) and more. Placenta is known for its
abundance of protein. This placenta is not derived from humans, but from
animals.

· Panthenol and glycerin help bind water to the hair.

· The best oils for moisture replenishment are, olive, honey,
various seed and fruit oils.

· Butters are also used in thicker conditioners for intense moisture.
Butters are derived from shea, peanuts, coconuts and more. Banana
extract provides moisture as well as shine.

· Silicones add the longest lasting shine to hair, because they bind to
the hair as well as help retain moisture. But silicones may be too heavy
for fine or limp hair, and produce a greasy look.

· Peppermint, lavender, horsetail and rosemary are good for stimulating
growth.

Know your hair type and goals, this helps you focus on the best
ingredients to accommodate its needs.
