I don't have a clue what a protein hair filler is. But applying egg or avocado to your hair as a mask will help strengthen your hair up my adding protein.

I normally use a protein hair filler before coloring hair. it helps to "even" out starnd so that it takes color evenly. I used it when I went dark and it definitely helped my hair come out even. If your hair is damaged your ends will suck up color quicker and can cause ends to be darker than the rest of the hair.

I was told to put the protein filler in the hair dye when you apply it but that was a lady from Sally's so I don't know if it's true.

What fillers do:

-- Protein fillers help equalize the porosity of the hair and get into the gaps of the cuticle so that the hair color penetrates evenly.

Conditioning Protein Filler

-- Conditioning protein fillers do not have any color in them and it's mainly used to help even porosity. These type of fillers can be used before and/or after a color application. You can put it in a spray bottle and spray it all through your hair. You can also add a capful of the protein filler and put it directly in with your dye. Just get the color and peroxide and then add it in with them. Sometimes you don't need to apply this to the entire head and just focus on the problem areas. This is very helpful when clients have split ends but they will not allow you to cut them. Conditioning fillers will really help with the color application.

Color Protein Filler

-- These type of fillers also serve the same purpose as the conditioning filler. However, they also add color back into the hair. Usually they will add one of the primary colors, red, blue, and yellow, back into the hair. Color protein fillers are CRUCIAL when you've had your hair bleached blonde and you want to go back to brown or black. If you don't utilize the color filler when dyeing your hair something darker from bleach blonde, you will not be happy with your results. However, they can easily be fixed.

Generally you only need a filler if you've bleached your hair (taken the pigment out of it) the protein filler depending on which type you get will help ensure the colour holds to the best of it's ability and adds some pigment back into your hair. I'm still looking for one, my ends are forever fading since I was blonde._.
