Hair advice please

[klb120475]

Hey ladies! I just took my 4A chin length fine/relaxed hair out of cornrow braids and now need to know what should I do next? DC? Hard protein/light protein treatment? Help me out ladies. I ain't got a clue and I'm determined to get this hair care thang down this time.

What type of condition is it in? Breaking, hard, split???

I deep condition once a week no matter what. But you might need protein depending on what's going on with your hiar right now.

It's extremely soft, almost mushy. Shedding a bit, but I'm assuming that's the norm for after taken down cornrows.

Mushy hair seems bad. Like over moisturizing. And shedding IS normal, especially if you haven't detangled in a long time, which you haven't. I would do a protein treatment as a pre-poo and then follow up with a deep conditioning.

Yes.

Aubrey Organics GPB Conditioner is a medium protein treatment.
Mayo + Egg + Honey I would consider this a medium protein treatment as well.
The Banana Brulee by Shescent it is amazing. I have no clue if it's light, medium or hard protein treatment.
Oyin Honey Hemp Conditioner contains silk protein which is light.
KBB's Hair Mask is simply divine as well.


I personally use mayo egg and honey because I'm cheap and it gets the job done lol. If I don't have those products at school to whip up I just add 1 egg to my normal conditioner.

I use aphogee 2 step as my hard protein. I use this roughly every 6-8 weeks. Weekly I use aphogee 2 min by mixing it in my DC.

I live by the Oyin Handmade Honey Hemp, the KBB Luscious Hair Mask and the Aubrey's GPB. I just did the GPB last night to slap some sense into my hair for tripping these past few weeks. lol

Make sure u detangle ur hair!!!!!!!!! I took out some twist and just hopped in the shower and then guess what........SETBACK BABY. I am no expert maybe someone with experience will chime in.

I just came out of braids myself. First thing I did was clarify, then I used Nexxus emergencee, then steamed with Alter Ego, afterwards I used Aphogee Leave in and green tea.

My think for next time is I will use more protein maybe my Aphogee leave in instead of the CHI Mist along with my braid spray when in braids

When I come out of braids, I clarify first (with KeraCare 1st Lather Shampoo) then I DC with ORS Replenishing Conditioner or Aubrey Organics GPB (both are mild protein conditioners). I follow up with a moisturizing leave in (like Jane Carter Solution Revitalizing Leave In or Mizani Detangle).


Typically, before and after I get braids, I will deep condition with a mild protein conditioner. That's just my particular rule of thumb.

DO NOT WET YOUR HAIR UNTIL YOU THOROUGHLY DETANGLE AND REMOVE AS MUCH SHED HAIR AS POSSIBLE!!!!!

ABSOLUTELY THIS IS DEFINITELY TRUE , I forgot that rule Do detangle before coming.

I do a heavy protein before braid up since I know moisturizing will be constant,

I think this is where I messed up at initially.


Thanks ladies, I mixed an egg with conditioner and my hair is nice and strong now.
