I was wondering if anyone has any experience/reviews on any protein treatments to help keep my hair healthy. It's in pretty great shape for everything that I do to it, but occasionally I'd like something a bit more effective than a hair mask. Something with keratin or any other kind of protein would be super helpful, and I'd love it if I could do it at home. My hairstylist does keratin rinses and keratin treatments on my hair every couple months when I get a trim, but something I can do without him would be nice, since I live 60% of the time out of state :)

If you can give pretty full reviews, I'd love it!

I use Tecna the spa enzyme therapy renewal treatment on my permed hair, and it's made my life so much easier! Since I got the perm I'm not washing my hair more often than once a week and I use this every time I wash it! It has made my hair a lot softer and really has to lock in moisture. People even tell me they didn't expect my hair to be so soft after such a treatment. This mask contains coenzyme Q10 and keratin amino acids. It does contain a few parabens, which is not normally me, but my hairdresser and aunt gave me this to use and I trust her. I think I want to buy it again when I run out.

Ugh, I love your hair so much!! I'll see if that's available in the states, looks like it gives great results. Also, I don't mind parabens in my products so that's no big deal :)

I checked Amazon...negative. Only Winx Club stuff (ahhhhhh childhood). I'll try google and see if there's a US website!

Swaps aren't allowed on the forum, I can try shipitto, if there's an Italian website to look at?

Not a problem, don't worry about it! I'm busy with google. The American things I can find are Redken and Keratin Complex. I like both brands, my hairstylist uses Keratin Complex on me but it's super expensive...might have to just buck up and do it lol.

I guess that maybe it's a better idea to buy whatever's close enough geographically!

I'm not sure if this is available in the states since I'm in Canada, but there's a brand called klorane and it's a plant based brand. They have a hair mask that I found a while back and I can't seem to find it on the website but it's a deep conditioner with plant protein in it and it worked really well on my hair. It looks similar to this one but it's got plant protein in it. It also smells really good, but it doesn't stay on hair you smell rinses out lol.

Klorane is available in the US :) it's on Birchbox.com. I'll definitely check it out!

I use aphogee 2 minute reconstructor. You can buy it at Sally's. I like this product because It's very conditioning and it decreases the shedding and breakage if you are experiencing that...

The smell is subtle. Not too strong and not stink. The consistency is very thick.

If your hair is severely bad they actually have a 2 step protein from the same company but since you mention It's not then I think the 2 minute reconstructor should be fine.
