Hi Ladies,
Being 1 month in my natural journey has been great so far. I'm trying new things almost every day. However, I have a question about moisture/protein. As you can see from my siggy, I don't have hair (well, not alot anyway ), so I can afford to "experiment." How do I know if my hair needs protein? I know too much moisture gives you mushy hair and I know too much protein results in hard/crunchy hair. But to be honest, my hair which is mostly 4b doesn't really give me signs. How do I find the right balance? Do I say, "ok, let's do a protein DC today" or "let's focus on moisture today"?
I love the fact that I am learning and I honestly love this site and you all for the wealth of hair knowledge that I receive by the different threads. Here is my regimen:
Nightly
1. Co-wash almost nightly with Suave Almond & Shea Butter Cond or Giovanni SAS Deeper Moisture Cond
2. Moisturize with ORS Carrot Oil & seal with Castor Oil
Weekly
1.Wash weekly (Sundays) with ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo, DC w/heat with ORS Replenishing Pak or ORS Hair Mayo
2. Moisturize with ORS Carrot Oil & seal with castor oil or CD's Mimosa Hair Honey.
I have always been a PJ, even before LHCF, and if you think I should alter pls suggest . I need to cut this habit though bc hair products are breaking my pockets! TIA
