innisfree My Hair Recipe Strength Treatment: Strengthening Hair Mask for Damaged Hair

innisfree's My Hair Recipe line offers scalp and hair treatments customized by hair type and concern. The Strength Treatment is targeted at damaged, weakened, or chemically-treated hair, built around hydrolyzed proteins and amino acids that help rebuild the hair shaft from within. 200ml is a generous size for a hair mask/treatment, suitable for 2+ months of weekly use.

Hair strengthening treatments are different from conditioners. Conditioners smooth the cuticle surface. Strength treatments penetrate the cuticle to deliver proteins that rebuild damage. For color-treated, bleached, or heat-styled hair, protein treatments are essential for long-term health.

What It Does

Hydrolyzed proteins and amino acids penetrate the hair cuticle to rebuild damaged keratin structures. Panthenol supports moisture retention. Plant oils add slip and softness. Weekly treatment gradually restores tensile strength and reduces breakage. Not a daily conditioner; a weekly intensive treatment.

Who It's For

• Color-treated or bleached hair: Chemical processing damages protein structure.
• Heat-styling users: Flat irons and curling irons cause protein damage.
• Brittle or breakage-prone hair: Strengthens weakened strands.
• Post-chemical service recovery: Perms, relaxers, or color correction.
• Mid-length to long hair: Longer hair accumulates more damage.

FAQ

Strength treatment vs daily conditioner?

Different purposes. Daily conditioner smooths and moisturizes surface. Weekly strength treatment rebuilds internal protein structure. Use both: conditioner daily, strength weekly.

Can I use too much protein?

Yes. Over-proteinized hair feels brittle and straw-like. Limit strength treatments to 1 to 2 times per week. Balance with moisturizing treatments.

How long until I see results?

Immediate softness and smoothness. Reduced breakage over 4 to 6 weeks of weekly use.

innisfree vs Olaplex No.3?

Different mechanisms. Olaplex No.3 repairs disulfide bonds (chemical damage). innisfree is protein-based (structural reinforcement). For chemically-damaged hair, Olaplex is stronger. For general strengthening, innisfree is adequate at lower price.

How long does 200ml last?

2 to 3 months with weekly use.
