Protein-Free

    Filter

      Protein-free hair products leave out hydrolyzed proteins — the wheat, rice, soy or keratin fragments many conditioners add to reinforce the strand. If your hair turns stiff, rough or brittle after protein treatments, it may be protein-sensitive, and every product here is made for you.

      How to choose: the Babassu Deep Conditioner is the 30-minute moisture treatment; the Babassu Detangling Conditioner is the everyday rinse-out. For the whole wash day, shampoo to leave-in, choose the Protein-Free, Coconut-Oil-Free Hair Bundle. The Low Porosity and Type 4 Moisture bundles are protein-free too.

      Is the Babassu Hair Therapy Mask protein-free?

      No. It's our protein treatment, with hydrolyzed rice and wheat proteins. The Deep Conditioner is its protein-free counterpart.

      Does rice bran oil count as protein?

      No. Rice bran oil is an oil. Our protein-free conditioners use the oil, not hydrolyzed rice protein.

      What are signs of protein overload?

      Hair that feels stiff or straw-like and snaps with little stretch. Switch to protein-free conditioning for a few washes and watch how it responds.
