For those that co-wash..

how often do you do a protein treatment?

I have relaxed hair, I decided that I'm transitioning or texlaxing... I still have time to decide as I just got a relaxer last month..

I was cowashing every other day and I thought my hair would like that but my hair was shedding in CLUMPS and I think it's because I may have over moisturized my hair. Now, I'm deathly afraid of cowashing anymore. I think it's strange becasue in Summer of '05 I co washed and my hair was great!

I want to like cowashing again because I think it's the only way I can keep moisture in my hair til I find that one leave-in that will save the day...

i used to do a protein treatment once a month. now i stopped. my hair doesn't seem to like (or respond) to protein directly on it. i just eat a protein rich diet. make sure to have some poultry and/or whole wheat daily. works for me. HTHs!

I do a light protein treatment every week prior to a moisturizing conditioner. And sometimes I add an egg to my pre-poo. I have not had much shedding with co-washing, and I have been using suave.

Just a suggestion, but try cowashing with a protein conditioner...ala Mane n Tail. I throw that in once a week during my cowashes so I don't end up too mushy.

I do a normal protein treatment once a month as well.
