Big tub of Cheap Protein

[Supergirl]

thanks for posting this so1913. Do you mind me asking your opinion of it?

tia,

I use this. I like it. I make sure I follow the directions exactly and follow up with moisture.

Too much protein... can it lead to breakage and other problems? Is a clue that you are overusing protein dry hair? Thanks

Yes, this could be true, but it's tricky because dry hair could also be an indicator that the hair needs more protein. In order for the hair to hold moisture, it needs protein. Protein binds moisture to the hair.

Back to your original question-- No one's hair is going to dry out from using a creamy conditioner with protein in it. Exception: Dudley Cream Protein Conditioner. For someone's hair to become brittle from protein, it would have to be from the overuse of a liquid protein conditioner. HTH

Protein is suppose to penetrate in to the hair cortex, and replace the Keratin that has been lost from the hair. After the hair absorbs protein the remainder needs to be rinsed from the hair or it will harden and make the hair strand break, like hardcandy.

I would love to know the answer to this as well!!!!!

Me too!
Hi KiniKakes

dumb question here...

Cholestoral is protein?

Not dumb at all, it sounds like a couple others on here may have it a little confused. Cholesterol is a lipid NOT a protein hth

I second the nominations for LeKair Cholesterol. I get mine at Wal-Mart for $1.87 and it's my absolute favorite cholesterol I have ever used. It has collagen in it as well as aloe which I think qualifies as a plant protein. I always mix mine with a ORS Replenishing Pak for additional protein benefits.

Also Sally's sells humongous tubs of Queen Helene Super Cholesterol for around $6. It contains keratin and aloe. HTH

Mach,

Personally I recommend buying the liter size bottle of Nexxus Keraphix. This is the bizzomb!

Most of the dominican conditioners can come in huge jars. You can PM me for details. (32 oz, 56oz, etc).

You can also ask a wholesale store if they have any big jars.

If you want Mane n Tail in a huge gallon size, you should contact your nearest Equestrian store.

And when in doubt... get a HUGE jar of mayonnaise from your wholesale grocery store. Your hair will love you. HTH, Macherieamour!

I second that. You can add some coconut or olive oil to it.

Also last week I used a can of half and half that I bought and forgot to use. I did not want to throw it away. My hair felt so strong.

I am trying to go natural on hair products..My kitchen is full of them

How long do you leave the mayonnaise on your hair?

 

[shawniegee]

I got tired of paying 10 for that jar too. So I bought Africa's Best Organics Hair mayo. It was 3 dollars for 15 ounces. It looks simular, but I haven't tried it yet. I'll let you know how it works.

 

[hotshot]

i have a bottle of Lekair that is so big it uses a pump dispenser. I don't want it anymore. But I used Lekair and Queen Helene for YEARS and recommend it highly. PM me.

30-60 minutes without heat.

Thanks, Anky. I tried the mayo today, but left it on all day. That could explain why my hair feels a bit sticky (yet very soft). I would definetely try this treatment again.
