Little Dream Garden - Hair Protein Cream Strengthening Repair 10g*20

It is a precision tool for compromised hair—balancing cationic polymers, biomimetic lipids, and low-molecular-weight proteins.

Texture: The "Melting Balm" Paradox

• The texture is engineered to be deceptive. The combination of Cetearyl Alcohol (thickening) and Behentrimonium Methosulfate (a mild, non-irritating conditioning agent derived from rapeseed) creates a rich, buttery balm. However, the presence of Isopropyl Alcohol (a low-molecular-weight, fast-evaporating solvent) and Sorbitol (a humectant) means this cream collapses upon hair contact.
• It applies like a thick mask but spreads like a serum. It does not "sit" on the hair shaft; it glides, then immediately feels lighter. This is the signature of a modern protein cream—dense in pack, weightless in the hand.

Function: Dual-Phase Repair (Cationic + Lipidic)

Most protein creams only deposit protein. This one performs electrostatic bonding.

• Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Lauryldimmonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein carry a positive charge. Damaged hair (which is negatively charged, like a frayed rope) attracts these molecules. This creates a microscopic patch over split ends and cracked cuticles.
• Squalane, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, and Jojoba mimic the hair's natural sebum (18 MEA). While protein fills the holes, these lipids lubricate the surface.
• Lactic Acid adjusts the pH to slightly acidic (~4.5-5.0), which closes the cuticle after the protein enters. This locks the repair in.

Targeted Benefits: For the "Gummy" Hair Phenomenon

This cream is specifically for hair that has lost its elasticity (stretches and snaps, or feels like wet gum when wet).

• Hydrolyzed Keratin + Wheat Protein: These are low molecular weight. They penetrate the cortex to rebuild hydrogen bonds and salt bridges (the internal scaffolding of hair).
• Arginine (The Hero Amino Acid): Arginine is a precursor to nitric oxide; in hair, it improves microcirculation to the follicle (if applied to scalp) but more importantly, it binds moisture inside the cortex without making hair swell. It prevents the "brittle protein" effect.
• Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone: This is a non-buildup silicone. Unlike cheap dimethicone, it only sticks to damaged areas, not healthy hair. It provides heat protection (up to 450°F) specifically to the broken spots.
• Who needs this? Platinum cardholders, daily heat stylers, and people whose hair feels "mushy" when wet. It rescues over-bleached, relaxed, or heavily permed strands.

Finish: "Invisible Armor"

• The Dimethicone and Ethylhexyl Palmitate provide slip, but the Sorbitol and Hydrolyzed Proteins create a slight drag on the hair fiber. This is beneficial: It tells you the product is gripping the damage.
• Hair looks visually denser. It looks healthy (like virgin hair), not coated (like plastic). Frizz is tamed not by oil-weight, but by cuticle lay-flat.
• Dry to the touch, but resistant to breakage.

The Critical Warning (Deep Talk Nuance)

• Do not use this daily. Because it contains Isopropyl Alcohol (to help the cream dry down quickly without residue), overuse on dry hair will cause dehydration. Additionally, the high protein load (Wheat + Keratin + Arginine) can cause protein overload (brittle, straw-like texture) if you lack moisture.
• The Golden Ratio: Use this 1-3 times per week. Apply to towel-dried hair for 1-2 minutes. Rinse with cool water. The result is hair that feels thicker (due to the protein filling the cortex) but moves freely (due to the Squalane and Jojoba).

Precautions (Read Before Use)

Risk of Protein Overload

• Contains Hydrolyzed Wheat Protein, Hydrolyzed Keratin, and Arginine. Using this cream more than once a week (or on low‑porosity hair) can make hair stiff, brittle, and prone to snapping.
• Signs of overload: Hair feels straw‑like, tangles more than usual, or loses its natural bounce.

Isopropyl Alcohol – Dehydration Potential

• The formula includes Isopropyl Alcohol for fast drying and penetration.
• Do not apply to dry hair as a daily leave‑in. It can strip moisture over time.
• Avoid leaving the cream on for extended periods (e.g., overnight) without rinsing.

Scalp Sensitivity

• Behentrimonium Methosulfate and Lactic Acid are generally mild, but sensitive scalps may experience mild itching or redness.
• Patch test: Apply a small amount behind your ear or on your inner elbow. Wait 24 hours.

Colour‑Treated Hair

• The cream contains CI 47005 (yellow) and CI 16255 (red). These are cosmetic dyes. On platinum blonde or very light hair, they may leave a faint warm tint. Do a strand test first.

Avoid Eye Contact

• The cationic surfactants and acids can cause stinging. If product enters eyes, rinse immediately with lukewarm water for 5 minutes.

Not for Daily Use

• Maximum 1–3 times per week. Overuse leads to buildup of Dimethicone and Bis‑Aminopropyl Dimethicone, which then requires a clarifying shampoo.

For Kids Safety: Adult Cosmetics. Always keep the the product away from children. 

How to Apply (Optimal for Damaged / Chemically Treated Hair)

Step 1: Shampoo Twice

• First wash removes oils, dirt, and previous silicones.
• Second wash opens the cuticle slightly for protein absorption.
• Do not condition before applying this cream-conditioners create a barrier.

Step 2: Towel-Dry to Damp (Not Dripping)

• Squeeze out excess water. Hair should be damp, not sopping wet.
• Why? Water dilutes the protein and cationic agents. Damp hair allows the cream to adhere without sliding off.

Step 3: Apply to Mid-Lengths & Ends ONLY

• Emulsify between palms.
• Avoid the scalp-protein cream on the scalp can cause buildup, itchiness, or flakes.
• Work through from ears down to ends, using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.

Step 4: Wait

• Leave on for 1-2 minutes.

Step 5: Rinse with Cool to Lukewarm Water

• Rinse thoroughly.
• Cool water closes the cuticle, trapping the protein and lipids inside.

Step 6: Air Dry or Low Heat Blow-Dry

• Avoid high heat immediately after a protein treatment (risk of brittleness).
