IT03-Ironwood Protein Matrix™ ( Multi-Protein Strengthening Treatment) 8oz

Targeted reinforcement for strength, flexibility and retention.

Ironwood Theory™ Protein Matrix™ Treatment is a concentrated strengthening and conditioning treatment developed for hair experiencing breakage, structural stress, chemical processing or frequent manipulation.

At its center is the Ironwood Protein Matrix™, a multi-source complex of hydrolyzed Rice, Quinoa, Keratin and Silk proteins selected to provide complementary film-forming, conditioning and hair-fiber support.

Bamboo Extract extends the botanical strengthening language of Ironwood Theory™, while Cholesterol NF contributes lipid-based conditioning to the treatment. Beta glucan, panthenol and betaine support softness, flexibility and conditioned hair feel.

The formula is completed with Strand Alliance™, our botanical lipid blend built around Amla, Brahmi and Bhringraj with Broccoli Seed, Baobab, Marula, Pracaxi and selected supporting oils.

The rich treatment cream coats and distributes through the hair for a focused strengthening session, leaving hair feeling conditioned, smoother, more substantial and prepared for continued handling and styling.
