Protein is crucial! Maintain the structure and elasticity of your natural hair with light weight protein treatments. Don’t forget to balance it by moisturizing your hair throughout the week and be gentle with your ends!
It's so refreshing to hear from someone on social media who actually knows what they're talking about, and their content is backed by science... not just another influencer saying whatever they need to say for sponsorships.
Do you have a video or list on what qualifies as a low protein treatment? I remember years ago seeing videos of people with protein overload from rice water so im hesitant to try protein treatments 😅
It depends on the formula, hydrolyzed keratin (for example) in one formula could be heavy depending on the % while it may look different in another formula and be light based on the %. However, my current go to lightweights are Aphogee 2 min and k18.
Is cholesterol treatment the same as protein treatments? Because I did a cholesterol treatment and let me tell you my hair NEEDED that! Good ole school Hollywood beauty olive oil cholesterol treatment! Amazing. I followed with a moisture deep conditioner but honestly I didn’t need to. Curls was popping and hair was soft to touch and looked healthy!
Does our hair absorb protein and then use that protein? Any kind of protein? How does a protein treatment differ from adding more protein to your diet? (Genuinely asking)
A protein treatment is specific to your hair. Adding more protein to your diet isn’t exclusive to your hair. It's going to tend to your body based on priority and hair is not a major priority to the body.
Thank you! I hope the ladies are taking notes! Aphogee has a Green Tea reconstructurizer that has become a staple within my professional business…what are your thoughts on its formulation and effectiveness?
I do a protein treatment after each relaxer.And I get a relaxer only twice a year. And this works for me.I don't have any shedding or breakage, so I get my protein treatments.Maybe a week before I get my relaxer.Or sometime I get it 2 weeks after that.First wash after my relaxer and that works❤
What are your thoughts on deep conditioners that are both moisturizing and have hydrolyzed protein in them? Can they be used alone without doing protein treatments?
A water based product with a low % of proteins. The ones I recommend are here, aphogee 2 min and k18 are my current favorites: www.amazon.com/shop/curlychemistry
Can you post a video on Cécred's mask and rice protein treatment? I know the mask is supposed to be able to be used more frequently in conjunction with the deep conditioner, but I'd like more in-depth info and also just your opinion. Maybe you can do a video on the whole line...? Unless you have already. I'm going to go look through your videos now 😂
Q:. They day we should not use sulfates in our hair. Does that mean when we eat things alike sulfates/sulfites, it can disturb the cilia in our digestive track? How much damage?
I've used fenugreek protein treatments in the past, but, Ion like the smell, is this included in the "wisdom" flashcards, Or the practical solutions flashcards? 🤔
The Flashcards are a deep dive into the best ingredients for our hair while the Practical Solutions are a collection of proven techniques that work for different hair challenges like damage, hair loss, dryness, etc.
Honestly, I have not seen any data backing that myth. Now can you overdue it, absolutely just like we can overdue moisture, but "protein sensitivity" I'm not convinced.
