Breakage - Moisture or Protein

[NYDee]

I'm noticing some breakage after my recent relaxer. Should I get hard protein treatment or moisture treatment.

Hi.

I think you should do both, starting with protein first and then moisture.

My new protein love is Ion Effective Care Treatment (Sally's) followed up with Kenra (moisture). I always use protein my first wash post TU.

When you relax do you do the protein mid-step? (use protein con after rinsing the relaxer out, but before shampooing). This eliminates any issues for me.

I did the protein step after my relaxer. The breakage isn't much but to prevent it from getting worse, I did the hard protein treatment last night and deep conditioned after.
