Fine Hair Relaxed Ladies

[Kayluv]

For all the ladies that have fine relaxed 3c/4a hair, do you find that you need extra protein to keep it strong. I was wondering if I should use more light protein in my regimen as I have a tendency to shed. I don't usually pay much mind to this as I have always had this tendency and my hair still grows. Thoughts?

Hi Kayluv - I have increased my proten (substantially) and have found that it has made big difference

I just use aphogee 2 min reconstructor

 

[PinkPebbles]

Yes, it makes a difference. I only use light protein biweekly.

 

[Jetblackhair]

Yes, I definitely need protein for my fine strands otherwise they would be too weak.

I just use aphogee 2 min reconstructor

yes I use this and suave humectant mixed together and get really good results

Absolutely. Fine hair needs more protein. I like the joico kpak line, aphogee 2 minute, and any other quick reconstructor.

i'm newly relaxed. I have been using Mane and Tail as a leave in for the last week. I love it and I notice the big difference. My hair would shed so much when I was natural and I just couldn't get the hang of it. So I relaxed a week ago Saturday and have been using MNT twice a day since (morning and night before bed). My hair is strong and I love it.

I use a LOT of protein for my fine hair. If i did not, practically melt due to the moisture it needs to stay healthy. My regimen includes MT, almost nightly (mine is mixed with oils) and an avacodo once/month. When I use heat, I use the aphogee line, both 2 step and 2 min (2 min with every wash and 2 step once/month) in addition to the green tea keratin spray. For me, my fine hair needs a LOT of moisture and therefore a LOT of protein to keep it balanced.

I use a light to medium protein weekly. AO GPB is the absolute best! My hair hates protein, but absolutely adores this conditioner!

interesting...i consider my hair fine and protein causes lots of shedding for my strands...i'm a moisture person actually until right before and after my relaxers...

i haven't used heat in over a year so maybe that's why i'm ok with needing more moisture...hmmm...

I've found I need to keep a good balance. I've been using Mixed Chicks and it seems be the right amount of moisture and protein.

I use Aphogee 2 min every week and the 2 step every 8 weeks. It makes my hair strong and I love it.....

I use protein weekly but discovered the key to making this step work for me is the type of protein - hydrolyzed keratin and silk peptide powder blended into my conditioners work because the molecules are of a size to penetrate the hair shaft. It took me a really long time to learn the difference between proteins and the ones that work best for me.

Most definitely. Since using protein weekly, my hair is thriving.
