Brushing, heat, and environmental exposure all accelerate the damage once that network is compromised. MELU Anti-Breakage Spray works at the fibre level — not by coating the surface with silicone, but by depositing a protective polysaccharide film derived from black chickpea extract that reinforces the hair shaft against the forces that cause breakage in the first place.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifics__cta\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"specifics__cta\"\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eMELU Anti-Breakage Spray is built around \u003cstrong\u003eRegenerative Organic Certified™ Black Chickpea Extract (Hydrolyzed Cicer Seed Extract)\u003c\/strong\u003e — sourced from Mr. Gabriele Colla's farm in Parma, Italy. Black chickpea is unusually rich in polysaccharides and antioxidants. The polysaccharides form a flexible, protective film around the hair shaft that absorbs and distributes mechanical stress — reducing the micro-fractures caused by brushing, detangling, and heat styling that progressively weaken the fibre. The antioxidants preserve the hair's structural proteins (primarily keratin) against oxidative degradation — the process through which chemical processing, UV exposure, and urban pollution damage the hair's internal architecture over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTerephthalylidene Dicamphor Sulfonic Acid\u003c\/strong\u003e provides broad-spectrum UV protection — shielding the hair shaft from the UV-induced protein oxidation that causes colour fade and brittleness on both colour-treated and natural hair. \u003cstrong\u003eInulin\u003c\/strong\u003e (fructooligosaccharide, derived from chicory root) provides additional moisture-binding and film-forming properties that reinforce the chickpea extract's protective complex. \u003cstrong\u003eHydrolyzed Corn Starch\u003c\/strong\u003e contributes a lightweight conditioning and smoothing effect that improves manageability without adding weight — critical for long hair where product weight causes limp, flat results.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe formula is an ultra-light, invisible mist — applied to towel-dried hair and left in before heat styling.
