What is Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein?

What does it do for the hair?
It increases the hair’s ability to retain moisture and impart shine and gloss to damaged and dull hair. Due to its low molecular weight, it easily penetrates the hair shaft.

Also, it’s in that new Davines Shelter leave-in I’ve been using! I think my hair *likes* a little protein now. Hmmmm…

I love the dominican wheat germ rinse after my dc. Does anyone else use dominican rinses? I swear by the 12 en 1 to help detangle and for a leave in at times.
It's also in Cantu Shea Butter! Love that stuff! Without it, my hair would have been lost. LOL
Very useful information. So if your hair is low porosity should you stay away from hydrolyzed wheat protein since it reduced porosity?
