In the last few weeks we have seen an ad that has caught our attention. In case the market was not crowded with products that claim to increase our protein intake, now there are hair products with the same label. What is striking about the commercial is the link they try to give to the sport. If to recover from a workout you need to eat foods or supplements with high protein content, how can you not buy this hair mask with the same nutrient? That's what the Gliss Protein mask is all about.
Ingredients of the Gliss Protein + Mask
" Aqua (Water, Eau) · Cetearyl Alcohol · Isopropyl Myristate · Behentrimonium Chloride · Distearoylethyl Hydroxyethylmonium Me thosulfate · Orbignya Oleifera Seed Oil · Prunus Armeniaca (Apricot) Ker nel Oil · Tocopheryl Acetate · Magnesium Citrate · Hydrolyramidolamine Protein in · Steazedlamidol Protein · Cetyl Palmitate · Parfum (Fra grance) · Isopropyl Alcohol · Citric Acid · Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride · Sodium Hydroxide · Sodium Benzoate · Cetrimonium Chloride · Dimethicone · Phenoxyetha nol · Methylparaben · Hexyl Cin namal · Limonene · Linalellool · Benzyl alcohol
Although they defend that 96% of its ingredients are natural and vegan , it is still a product rich in silicones, sulfates and parabens. When we use this type of shampoo or mask, our hair and hair base are wrapped in a synthetic film that does not allow our natural hair to show. Will it be smoother and brighter after using the Gliss Protein + mask? We have no doubt, but the reality is that your hair does not absorb protein by external agents.
If you want to strengthen your hair or give it more luminosity, bet on a varied and balanced diet. That you do not lack the consumption of protein, but on the plate. The ideal is to consult with your doctor a recent analysis to know if there are deficiencies in any nutrient. They may decide to advise a temporary supplement until you regain the appropriate levels.
Although if you remain in doubt, there are already products with added proteins (and from the same brand):
- Cocodimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed (keratin)
- Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein (hydrolyzed collagen protein)
- Milk Protein (milk protein)
- Hydrolyzed Milk Protein (hydrolyzed milk protein)
- Wheat Protein
- Hydrolyzed Soy Protein (hydrolyzed soy protein)
- Silk Protein (silk protein)
- I am Protein (soy protein)
- Hydrolyzed Silk Protein (hydrolyzed silk protein)
- Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein (hydrolyzed wheat protein)
Are there differences with other hair masks?
Analyzing other types of masks on the market, we have not found too much difference in their components (beyond being vegan). Most of the masks that claim to repair your hair have similar ingredients, so don't expect an abysmal change after you start putting it on. It is nothing more than a great sales strategy, trying to take advantage of healthy and sporty fashion.
There are those who defend that we need this nutrient because we know that hair is highly porous . If the cuticle is open, damaged, and has lost its protein, there are those who seek comfort in extra protein.
However, if your hair has an excess of protein, it will appear dull and fragile. It is common for it to frizz easily, so using the Gliss Protein + mask is not advisable. On the other hand, if your hair really lacks protein, you will notice that it looks dry and loses elasticity. It can even appear shiny and greasy.
