Protein.....

[MissCrawford]

What's the strongest everyone's using (silicone free and natural preferably)? I had DRC but can't find it and I didn't like the ingredients anyway. I'm approaching waist length and feel as though I need something stronger than before. Did anyone feel like as their hair got longer they needed a stronger protein?

BTW I'm currently using Curl Junkie Repair Me

I use Komaza's Protein Strenghtner. It's all natural ingredients. I consider it as a medium protein treatment and I love it. My hair can't tolerate hard protein treatments, it just makes my hair feel more coarse than it already is.

I never felt like I needed a stronger protein since it's getting longer, however, since I am transitioning right now I've been using it more to keep my hair strong and to ward off breakage.

I was just about to say curl junkie repair me. For me as my hair got longer it no longer worked for me. I don't care for ingredients anymore so I don't know natural products that you can use... I do like and use joico reconstructor.

The strongest I am using (and my regimen is protein intensive) is Nutress Treatment for Extremely Damaged hair. It does not have natural ingredients, though but IDC and I love it!

Wow! I googled it and it does seem great but the ingredients are rough. It will be my last resort. I just wish there was something really strong and natural....

I'll keep on the lookout for you girl...

Thanks! It looks like CJ also has an intensive treatment. That will be my next purchase.

Carol's Daughter monoi conditioner is a good protein conditioner.

Aphogee 2 Step
Neutral Protein filler
Nexxus Polymedic Reconstructor
Nexxus Emergencee

I know they're not natural per say, but all of these work phenomenally.

The strongest protein I've ever used was an egg. I did it once and will never do it again - it was too strong for me. If you're game, just whip an egg into your favorite deep conditioner and leave it in for a while. That will give you protein in spades.

I used Aphogee 2 step once a few weeks ago and my hair felt like straw, even after DCing 3 times that week and baggying. I had less shedding and breakage though, but I'll never use it again. I'm eyeing the komaza protein treatment or the more mild aphogee 2 minute.

ETA: I'm 4a, waist length, hi-po

GM @julzinha - you speak highly and often of the Neutral Protein Filler. Can you find this on the ground? If so, where? Thanks.

@julzinha - I see Sally's has Colorful Neutral Protein Filler - I take it this is different than what you are referring to.

Yes, I love the versatility of the product, it was one of the first hard protein products I used and it help save my hair. You can literally add it to anything because it is pure protein, no fillers and affordable. You can find it at Sally's for about $6 for a 4oz.

Nope it's the exact product.

Thanks! Sounds like this is strong - I need a mild to medium protein.

The great thing about the product is that you can dilute it to your liking. Depending on how much you add it can be mild or medium.

Excellent! Thanks @julzinha - what DC products do you use? I'm going shopping in a little bit and I am out of the DC (Eden bodyworks)
