Dudley's DRC vs. Sebastian Penetraitt

[lexi08]

Hello ladies, I have been experiencing some minor breakage and shedding lately. I think the breakage is mainly due to my hair being a little dry from the winter weather and indoor heating, so I am moisturizing more often. I wanted to incorprate a heavy protein treatment into my regimen and I am not sure which one to try ( an old stylist used DRC in my hair years ago and it worked well then). I know these products are different because of some of the posts I have read, but I am still unsure which product would best suit my needs( my hair is relaxed shoulder length 4a,some 3c in some spots). Also should a protein treatment be done a week before and a week after touch-up, is this safe? Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I do my protein treatments every 4 wks, and the wash before and after my touch-up. Actually, I use penetraitt before and DRC after my touch-up. DRC is the stronger of the two, but Penetraitt surely gets the job done

Thanks Dana your hair looks great! See now you are going to make me buy both. I don't know if my hair could take stronger protein every 4 weeks. I usually use a lite protein or reconstructor like TIGI Dumb Blond , Keraphix or AO GPB. But I am going to try the treatments before and after touch-ups and see how that goes.

Do you have to sit under the dry with Sebastian Penetraitt? It says that you have to but I'm lazy (I admit it).

I haven't used dudley's, but I'm a die-hard Penetraitt fan. You HAVE to sit under the dryer with penetraitt and you are not supposed to use a plastic cap. It's supposed to harden on your hair.

I forgot to ask what kind of conditoners are you using after these treatments?

Does Penetraitt have an odor? TIA!

Thanks, I use mild protein treatments every 3 days in-between the time I use the hardcore stuff, keep in mind I have permanently colored hair

Point taken. I used to have my hair highlighted a color similiar to yours. I still have a little color left although faded on the bottom 2 inches of my hair. I have been gradually trimming off the color when I get touch-ups. Mmmm... maybe thats why my ends are still a little crispy?

Pentraitt is the best.

Thanks Webby. I'll just have to sit my butt under the dryer.

Cool. As long as it doesn't funk up the room like Aphogee, I'm good. Thanks again.
