Have you ever thought that you had it all figure out.........then all of a sudden you have a A HA moment. For the longest i thought that i needed a whole lot of moisture and heavy emollients. After reading an article by The Curl Whisper, i realize that the texture(fine, med, thick strands) and how porous your hair is determine what you need for your hair.
After i done a strand test, the texture of my hair was fine/med and highly porous. Can you believe that i was putting to much moisture and oils on my hair according to the curl whisper. What this old girl needed was more protein

"1) Pick the Right Product Ingredients
A common belief is that very tightly coiled hair that is naturally dry by nature needs to have a ton of very heavy conditioners applied to it. And that's great--IF that tight coil happens to contain hair strands that are coarse in texture. If those hair strands are fine, however, then overloading the hair with heavy moisturizers will lead to further issues.
Fine hair--which is quite common in tightly coiled hair--frequently seems dry when, in fact, it is easily over-moisturized. When I talk with any of my fine-haired clients about this, we inevitably share this "A-ha!" moment as they realize they've been feeding heavy moisturizers into hair that is often already over-moisturized. For any fine-haired girls with curls, regardless of wave pattern, products with a lot of heavy emollients are usually best avoided in favor of those with proteins.
Conversely, coarse hair naturally manufactures an overabundance of protein within the hair shaft on its own, so this is the type of hair that needs those heavy creams and butters and oils and emollients. Stay away from products with proteins, as putting protein on top of your already protein-heavy hair is likely to dry you out into a wicked, straw-like mess.
Picking the right kind of product for your hair type is the MOST important step!"
Girls, i think i got it figure out this time

. She wanted me to apply more protein to my hair, but not too much which can cause dryness.
