Wheat was first cultivated in 9600 BC and since then it has become a significant food staple used around the world. In addition to its dietary benefits, wheat also has a range of nourishing proteins which make it fabulous for repairing damaged hair and leaving all hair types in tip top condition.

To enable your hair to access the wheat proteins, the wheat must be put through a process called hydrolysis, which breaks apart the proteins. This makes them small enough to interact with the hair cuticles and form a protective layer.

Hydrolysed wheat protein is rich in amino acids which makes it exceptionally beneficial for damaged hair. It has a low molecular weight, meaning it can easily be absorbed by the hair shaft and inner fibres, helping to repair breakages like split ends.

These proteins provide a whole host of other benefits too which are perfect for all hair types including chemically damaged hair. Hydrolysed wheat protein is great at strengthening your hair, adding volume and texture and working to prevent your hair drying out by locking in moisture.

All this whilst leaving your hair silky smooth and shiny! This is why hydrolysed wheat protein is typically added to hair conditioners.
