Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Protein treatment.

Most clients benefit from a Protein treatment every 4–6 weeks, depending on damage and hair type. Severely damaged hair may need more frequent treatments initially, while fine or low-porosity hair requires longer intervals to avoid buildup.

The treatment restores strength and can slightly firm very porous hair temporarily, but it won’t dramatically alter natural texture. Our stylists adjust product type and concentration to maintain softness while improving manageability and reducing breakage.

Yes. Protein treatments are safe for colored or chemically treated hair and often help repair processing damage. We select formulas compatible with color-treated strands and perform a consultation to prevent unwanted interactions and preserve color vibrancy.

A full salon Protein treatment typically takes 45–75 minutes, including consultation, application, processing time, and finishing. Timing varies with hair length, porosity, and whether additional services like trims or styling are requested.

Absolutely. Use gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and protein-balanced conditioners between appointments. Avoid frequent heavy protein home masks for fine hair; instead, alternate hydrating treatments to maintain balance and prevent stiffness or buildup.

Side effects are rare when professionally applied, but overuse can lead to stiffness, dryness, or protein overload. We assess hair condition and recommend tailored frequency and complementary moisturizing treatments to maintain healthy elasticity.
