Ecoslay™ Matcha Boost – Strengthening Protein Treatment for Curls

Ecoslay™ Matcha Boost is a concentrated protein treatment designed to strengthen and reinforce hair that feels weak, overly soft or lacking elasticity.

Formulated with hydrolysed quinoa and hydrolysed keratin proteins, this treatment provides temporary structural support to compromised areas of the fibre, helping improve resilience, elasticity and overall strand integrity.

Despite being protein-focused, the creamy base offers pleasant slip during application, allowing for smoother distribution and reduced mechanical friction while processing.

This is not a conditioner.
It is a strengthening treatment designed to be followed with conditioner.

BEST FOR:
• Loose waves needing more structure
• Fine diameter strands
• Heat, colour or mechanically stressed hair
• Hair that feels overly soft or limp
• Supporting elasticity within a balanced routine
• Periodic protein reinforcement

DONNA’S PROFESSIONAL NOTES:

• Protein works best once hydration is already established. If the hair is dehydrated, address moisture first.
• Apply to clean hair. “Clarified” refers to hair that is free from excess residue so the treatment can contact the fibre effectively. Not all routines require clarifying or shampooing. I use this successfully without incorporating a clarifying shampoo.
• Follow with conditioner to restore softness and flexibility after strengthening.
• This is concentrated. Use less than you think and emulsify thoroughly through the hair.
• Adjust frequency based on porosity and hair health:

High Porosity – Healthy: Weekly, 5 minutes, no heat
High Porosity – Damaged: Weekly, 30 minutes, no heat
Low Porosity – Healthy: Monthly, 5 minutes, gentle heat
Low Porosity – Damaged: Weekly, 30 minutes, gentle heat
