Broken, frazzled and split hair is all too common. The ends of our hair have been around for a while and with dyeing, heat styling, chemical processing and just general neglect it can sometimes break.

Although a moisturising treatment is great for your locks and highly recommended for dry, over-styled hair, it won’t actually repair the damage. The key to repairing porous hair is protein. Protein is what gives our hair strength and structure as the hair itself is made up of 70% keratin protein.

De Lorenzo has created a unique plant protein spray to fill, seal and strengthen the hair shaft, prior to conditioning. Protein Complex protects the hair from further damage and will actually improve the feel and texture.

Use the spray in the shower after shampooing, don’t rinse and finish with conditioner. After use take care to maintain the hair’s condition. Here are our top tips for maintaining strong, protein-rich, beautiful hair:

• Stay Hydrated. If your hair is dry it won’t stretch and can break easily, keep it well nourished with a good hair moisturiser or conditioner. Try to use a treatment mask or intensive conditioner every few weeks along with protein spray.
• Cool Down. Minimise the heat when styling your hair by taking a few conscious steps when blow drying – try thoroughly towel drying hair before starting, holding the nozzle further away from the hair particle and simply turning down the heat or blasting the cool button can all make a big difference.
• Take it Easy. Be gentle with your hair, don’t tease and pull when it’s unruly as this can promote breakage. Also, wearing your hair in a tight pony or braids can cause damage – don’t overdo it with these hairstyles.
• Cut it Out. The best thing for dry, damaged hair is a good trim. Make sure to see your stylist every six weeks to keep the ends looking fresh and feeling healthy.
