What are the different types of proteins

[pinkchocolatedaisy]

What are the different types of proteins and what do each do for the hair? I tried doing a search but didn't exactly find what I was looking for.

Since I've become slightly more hair savvy, I've learned a few things. I pay attention to the ingredients in the products I use. Lately I've been watching for products that contain protein. I've heard of keratin, silk amino acids, silk protein soy protein... you get the idea.

So my question is: what are the different types out there? Like, how many are there and what is the benefit of each for your hair?
