Protein Overload vs. Protein Power: Finding the Right Balance

Protein can make or break your hair-literally. In the world of haircare, protein is essential. It gives hair strength, structure, and resilience. But here's the catch: more protein doesn’t always mean better results. When used incorrectly it can actually cause more harm than good. 

If you’re using protein-heavy products too often, or stacking treatments without giving your hair a chance to recover, you might notice stiff, dull, dry, or brittle hair.

While protein overload gets a lot of attention, not having enough protein in your hair can be just as damaging - and in some cases, even more frustrating. If your hair doesn’t have the structural support it needs, it can't hold onto moisture, maintain its shape, or stand up to heat, color, or styling.

Protein deficiency in hair can be easy to miss at first, but over time, the signs become more noticeable. Hair may feel overly soft when wet and breakage becomes more common, especially through the mid-lengths where hair is most vulnerable. Even with plenty of moisturizing products, strands can appear flat, dull, and lifeless. Curls often lose their shape and bounce, while straight hair may struggle to hold volume or style. 

So What’s the Solution? Balance. Your hair needs both protein for strength and moisture for flexibility-and that’s exactly what Lasio’s Follicle Filler is designed to deliver. 

Unlike at-home protein masks that sit on top of the hair, Follicle Filler is designed to penetrate deep into the cortex, where lasting repair happens. That’s why it’s only available through Lasio-certified salons.

This treatment isn't a keratin treatment - it's a bond repair treatment. This treatment delivers a smart blend of collagen, biotin, hyaluronic acid, lactic acid, and beta‑glucan-all aimed at restoring moisture-protein balance, smoothing cuticles, and adding strength and bounce.

You don’t buy it - you experience it.
And your hair knows the difference.
