Uses
Wheat amino acids are formed by hydrolysis and complete breakdown of wheat protein into its constituent amino acids. Typically, they are found in hair products, as their small size means they penetrate hair follicles easily. Because they attract moisture, they improve flexibility, manageability and condition. As simple molecules, pure amino acids cannot trigger immune reactions.
Benefits
Wheat amino acids increase the hair’s ability to retain moisture and impart shine and gloss to damaged and dull hair. Due to its low molecular weight, wheat amino acids easily penetrate the hair shaft and bind to hair’s inner fibers.
