More About Quinoa Protein
There's nothing better for your hair than protein. And quinoa (pronounced "keenwah") is one of the most complete plant proteins around. Mountain-grown in the purest of environments, this ancient grain's edible seeds have been an important food source for more than 6,000 years. A powerful hair nutrient and fixative, quinoa protein:
- Lightly coats the hair shaft to add body, control flyaways and give the hair a perfect, natural hold.
- Strengthens and protects with vitamins, minerals and amino acids, particularly sulfur-rich cystine and cysteine, very beneficial to the hair and scalp.
- Helps smooth brittle, damaged hair fibre, reduce frizzing and protect from heat damage due to blow dryers, hair straighteners and curling irons. Here's how: Breakage and damaged ends happen when layers in the hair's cuticle come apart, causing the hair to frizz and split. Quinoa protein penetrates the cuticle and acts as a 'glue', reattaching the separated layers and smoothing the hair shaft for greater softness, manageability and shine.
