Perfectly Wheat Protein repairs damaged hair through covalent bonding. This is
a protein from wheat which has been turned partly into water through
hydrolysis. Proteins are the nitrogen carrying constituents of living cells.
Protein treatments are said to be beneficial to hair and skin. They add
gloss, body and luster to hair. Proteins consist of giant chains of amino
acids, the building blocks of life. The amino acid chains are joined
chemically by a peptide bond. Plant proteins have excellent skin
compatibility and deposit a protective film on the skin and hair. The film is
smoothing and moisturizing. Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein builds body, reduces
porosity, and improves shine, luster and smoothness. Wheat Protein conditions
hair with its moisture retention and film forming properties, which will
greatly improve the body, shine, and smoothness of hair. Hydrolyzed Silk Amino Acid Silk is a fiber secreted by silk worms. Liquefied silk
creates a mixture of amino acids. Amino acids are what the body uses to build
proteins. Silk amino acids are said penetrate the skin and leave the skin
silky smooth. De-ionized Water is

care. Quality formulations begin with high purity water. Pure water is a very
powerful dipolar solvent so that the naturally occurring supply from springs,
lakes and rivers always contain some minerals, gases and organic decaying
materials which may have adverse affects on manufactured products. In
addition to these naturally occurring impurities municipal water systems
typically add chlorine, sometimes fluorides, or other chemicals to improve
the health and/or safety of the water for human consumption but which also
can adversely affect other products that companies manufacture. Meadowfoam Seed Oil (Limnanthes Alba) this Cold Pressed oil re-moisturizes
