Silk Protein Hair Collections

The Nexxus Curl Define Range Delivers Innovations for Curly Hair

Curly hair depends on the right balance of moisture and protein and the Nexxus Curl Define range shares a selection of innovative protein products that were expressly created with curly hair in mind. Due to the nature of curly hair's twists and turns, it's prone to stress and processes like detangling can cause damage, yet protein is said to "fill in gaps in damaged hair strands."

By studying the structure of hair on a molecular level, Nexxus found that curly hair has more proteins than straight hair, particularly when it comes to the amino acids glycine and serine. As a result, curls are said to be better treated by silk proteins than keratin proteins, and shampoo, conditioner, and treatment products in the line reflect these findings.
