Question: Does protein prevent breakage or cause breakage? I"m confused.

I have all these short pieces here and there. It's been like that for about 2 months. My hair has been really dry so I'm thinking I need moisture. But then, doesn't protein make it strong so it doesn't break????

Protein makes hair strong, but too much can also make hair hard and brittle so finding the perfect balance of moisture and protein is key to elasticity, moisture and strength in the hair.
