How to fix my protein overload??

[classi123]

And stop this breakage and dryness. I also noticed some shedding, I want to also curb that some how, because I think that I am getting more then my usual amount. I plan on washing my hair today. What should I do?

Use a very moisturizing DC. You might want to DC a couple of times this week.

Hey I have the same problem,, any suggestions for moisturizing DCs?

I heard Motions Moisture Plus with some Castor Oil. I am running home after work to DC.

I like Aphogee's Moisture Balancing Conditioner. It really does put your hair right back on track with moisture. You will feel the difference as you condition. I hope this helps. Otherwise I really like Giovanni Direct Conditioner found at Whole Foods.

Kenra MC is one of my staples. When I need a LOT of moisture, I add honey and EVOO to it.

You may also want to start baggying your hair for a few weeks. That helped me restore moisture to my overly proteined hair.

I am not a regular user of the baggy method I only started recently to try to correct my dry/breaking protein loaded hair.

Here are links about baggying if you need to know more.

Try deep conditioning with a moisturizing conditioner for your next two washes.

I like Kenra MC, Joico Moisture Recovery and Queen helene cholesterol.

Hmm... for shedding I find that garlic oil does wonders (use on scalp for a couple of hours before shampoo) and though it stinks a bit, the smell washes away easily. For moisture, I've only tried Humectress and I can say that it is absolutely wonderful. I use it as a DC under the dryer and my hair comes out feeling super moist. HTH

Along with your DC - A steam treatment ( I know - everyone is sick of hearing this) Should do the trick - infusing moisture into your strands.
HTH.

try cowashing every other night, and DCing one to two nights a week, in addition to daily moisture. This should help. Seal the ends with oil too.

Kenra MC is a staple for me.

I've had the same problem and what has helped is DCing with a kicked up cholesterol mix. I've also had to stop with some of my fav conditioners because they have protein.
