or if you've used too much protei?. I ask this question because I've recently taken down individual braids. I experience some shedding, which was to be expected. I washed my hair and gave myself a protein treatment. Three days later, my hair is dry and brittle breaking and shedding. Should I give myself another protein treatment? Or is this my hairs way of saying that's enough protein and it's time to moisturize? How can you tell the difference?
