Ingredient Spotlight - QUINOA PROTEIN

Quinoa - more than just a healthy food

You’ve probably heard of rice protein, but have you heard about the benefits of quinoa protein for hair?

So many shampoos are now touting rice protein for hair. StarBars Strength shampoo and conditioner contain rice protein, but our best selling Protect line contains quinoa protein instead.

WHY IS QUINOA PROTEIN GOOD FOR HAIR?

Quinoa contains 17 Amino Acids which reinforce the hair shaft, filling in gaps in the cuticle and making hair stronger and more elastic.

Quinoa has vitamins, minerals and antioxidants which may help improve circulation in the scalp, promoting a healthy environment for hair growth

Quinoa is great for aging hair: because it helps replenish proteins that naturally decline with age, restoring strength and elasticity to thinning, brittle strands while protecting against damage that accelerates aging.

Quinoa provides deep hydration and moisture retention, helping to lock in hydration and prevent dryness. This is especially beneficial for coarse, curly, or chemically-treated hair that tends to lose moisture easily.

Quinoa forms a protective film around each hair strand, shielding it from environmental stressors like UV rays, pollution, and heat styling damage while also reducing frizz and improving manageability.

And finally, quinoa is shown to visibly increase shine.

Protect Shampoo and conditioner are your go-to for all the benefits of quinoa for your hair.
