Smooths hairAdds shineSoftens

A lightweight repair protein prized for the silky smoothness and shine it brings to damaged hair.

What it is

Hydrolysed silk protein is silk broken down into small peptides and amino acids so it can interact with the hair fibre. It is valued for a particularly smooth, glossy finish, and its smaller fragments can sit within damaged areas of the cuticle to improve surface condition.

How it works

Smooths the cuticle

Its peptides fill gaps in damaged cuticle scales, creating a smoother surface that reflects light, the physical basis of shine, and tangles less.

Softens and conditions

It improves softness, flexibility and manageability, giving a silky feel without heaviness.

The evidence

Hydrolysed silk is a well-regarded conditioning protein, valued for smoothness, shine and a light, elegant feel on damaged hair.

Works well with

Works within Tricelleon alongside Hydrolysed Keratin (strength) and Arginine.

Who it's for

Dry, damaged, frizzy or dull hair wanting smoothness and shine.

Worth knowing

A surface-smoothing protein, its gift is feel and shine, complementing deeper strengthening proteins.
