The Elizavecca CER-100 Milky Piggy Collagen Ceramide Coating Protein Treatment is built around that gap, with three proteins doing three separate jobs over ten to fifteen minutes and a rich cream base sealing the result in behind them. Elizavecca has worked out of Iksan in North Jeolla Province since 2006, and the rest of the CER-100 range is calibrated to sit alongside this step rather than replace it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHydrolysed Collagen fills the voids bleach leaves:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lightening dissolves protein out of the cortex and leaves gaps that make hair stretch too far and then give way, and low-molecular-weight collagen deposits into those gaps. Elasticity is the measurement that shifts first, which in practice means hair that bends under tension instead of snapping.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePorosity drops when the cuticle lipids come back:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramide replaces the lipid cement between cuticle scales that bleaching and relaxing dissolve outright, letting the scales sit flat against the fibre again. With that layer restored, moisture stops leaving the hair within hours of washing and the surface reflects light rather than scattering it.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThe immediate smoothness comes from a coating, not a repair:\u003c\/strong\u003e The hydrolysed keratin here deposits on the outer cuticle rather than passing into the cortex, which is where the first-rinse slip, thickness and manageability come from. It is a surface coating: it makes damaged hair behave better straight away and renews with each use, without altering anything structural underneath.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealing it all in falls to the cream base:\u003c\/strong\u003e The base softens the fibre and locks water in behind the proteins, using ingredients that draw moisture into the hair alongside others that soften and hold it there. Protein on its own leaves hair rigid, and the base is what keeps this treatment supple as well as stronger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTexture \u0026amp; Finish\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a thick, dense cream that grips wet hair rather than sliding off it, and clearing it takes a proper rinse, noticeably longer than a conditioner would. While it sits, wet hair feels coated and slightly weighted. Dried, the length is soft and distinctly heavier, which coarse and bleached hair reads as condition and fine hair can read as flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNote:\u003c\/strong\u003e This carries the highest protein load in the CER-100 range, so hair that comes out stiff and snappy rather than soft has had more than it needed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHair types:\u003c\/strong\u003e Bleached, repeatedly coloured, permed, relaxed and heat-damaged hair, most obviously where porosity is high. It works across fine, medium and coarse textures and from straight through to coily, though fine hair notices the weight sooner than coarse hair does.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHair concerns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Severe breakage, loss of stretch, extreme dryness, high porosity, split ends, frizz, dullness and recovery after bleaching.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest used by:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hair that has been lightened more than once and now feels like wet wool in the shower is the exact case this treatment was designed around.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How does this compare to a deep conditioning hair mask?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: A deep conditioning mask delivers ingredients that draw water into the hair and soften the surface, and the effect is real but sits on and around the fibre. This treatment adds two things a conditioning mask does not: hydrolysed collagen small enough to deposit inside the cortex, and ceramide that rebuilds the lipid layer between cuticle scales. The ten to fifteen minutes of contact is doing the heavy lifting for both, since deposition depends on time as much as on concentration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does protein repair actually repair hair?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Not in the way skin repairs, and the distinction matters. Hair is not living tissue, so nothing applied to it triggers healing; what deposited protein does is fill and reinforce damaged areas of the cortex, staying put through several washes before it leaches out again. Ceramide comes closer to genuine replacement, since it restores a lipid that was physically removed. The surface keratin coating washes out fastest of the three, so repair in hair care means maintained rather than cured.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How often is too often, and how does it fit with the CER-100 shampoos?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: Weekly suits significantly damaged or bleached hair and fortnightly suits moderately damaged or colour-treated hair; the signal to slow down is stiffness rather than a date in the diary. It is a complete conditioning step on its own, so nothing else is required alongside it. If you use the CER-100 shampoos as well, the shampoos keep protein and ceramide levels steady between sessions while this treatment does the concentrated work, and a moisture-focused conditioner on non-treatment days keeps the protein and moisture balance even.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing on this shelf grows you better hair, and the most any of it can do is keep what you already grew attached to your head for longer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"sn-explore-more\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eExplore more\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSee more \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/ceramides\"\u003eceramides\u003c\/a\u003e products, explore our \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/damaged-hair\"\u003edamaged hair\u003c\/a\u003e edit, or see more from \u003ca href=\"\/en-au\/collections\/elizavecca\"\u003eElizavecca\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","brand":"Elizavecca","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55157124596046,"sku":"SESALOHS02-CCPTR","price":18.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0798\/5057\/0062\/files\/SESALOHS02-CCPTR.png?v=1778671451","url":"https:\/\/skinnomid.com\/en-au\/products\/elizavecca-cer-100-milky-piggy-collagen-ceramide-coating-protein-treatment","provider":"Skin-Nomad","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
