How Proteins, Emollients and Humectants Work Together
The PEH balance hair method is the foundation of conscious hair care.
It is based on three key groups of ingredients: proteins, emollients and humectants.
When they are used in the right balance, hair becomes healthy, strong and easy to manage.
Therefore, understanding PEH Balance helps you choose the right care and solve hair problems more effectively.

What Is the PEH Balance Hair Method?
Understanding the PEH balance hair method makes it easier to choose the right care routine and avoid common hair problems.
PEH is an abbreviation created from the first letters of three ingredient groups used in hair care:
- P – Proteins
- E – Emollients
- H – Humectants
Each group plays a different role.
However, only their correct balance brings visible and long-lasting results.
Proteins – Strength and Structure
Proteins act like building blocks for the hair.
They help rebuild damage inside the hair fibre and improve strength.
As a result:
- hair gains volume and elasticity
- strands look stronger and shinier
However, too many proteins can make hair stiff, rough and prone to breakage.
For this reason, protein care should always be balanced.
Emollients – Protection and Smoothness
Emollients form a protective layer on the hair surface.
They lock moisture inside and protect hair from external damage.
Thanks to emollients:
- hair feels smoother and softer
- frizz and roughness are reduced
On the other hand, excess emollients may weigh hair down and reduce volume.
Therefore, balance is essential.
Humectants – Hydration and Elasticity
Humectants are water-binding ingredients.
They attract moisture from the environment and store it inside the hair.
As a result:
- hair becomes hydrated and flexible
- dryness and dullness are reduced
However, too many humectants may cause frizz and tangling.
Because of this, they work best when combined with emollients.
What Happens When PEH Is Out of Balance?
Protein Deficiency or Excess
- Too little protein: flat, dull and weak hair
- Too much protein: stiff, dry and rough texture
Emollient Deficiency or Excess
- Too little emollients: dryness, frizz and roughness
- Too much emollients: heavy, greasy and flat hair
Humectant Deficiency or Excess
- Too little humectants: dry, brittle and dehydrated hair
- Too many humectants: excessive frizz and tangling
Therefore, PEH Balance is not about equal amounts but about the right proportions.
