Protein Leave-in Treatment

Protein Leave-in Treatment

Protein Leave-in Treatment

Hair is made up of around 90% protein. Over time, that structure weakens, leading to breakage, frizz and loss of shape. This lightweight leave in treatment feeds your hair with the proteins it needs to stay strong, elastic and healthy. Waves feel more resilient, smoother and easier to manage, with less breakage and fewer split ends over time.

"Only use when you feel like your hair needs protein."
WHY ABI MADE THIS

“Years of bleaching and heat styling left my waves weak, snapping and totally lifeless. Hair needs protein to stay strong and elastic, so I created a treatment that was able to repair damage and bring back bounce waves in an instant!”
