Hit:
Framesi Color Lover Moisture Rich Masque
Even though Komaza's Protein treatment worked for my hair, it didn't create that curl popping effect I usually like. The only time I experienced that with any protein treatment was with Aveda Damage Remedy Intensive Treatment. But Aveda may have changed the formula or something, because it didn't produce similar results when I bought a new 5 ounce a year later. And the price was getting too steep for me to not get the results I wanted.
I peeped that the key ingredient in the Aveda was "quinoa protein" so I did a Google search and came across Framesi. I was able to find it at Ricky's for 9.95 for a 16 oz, much better than the price they were calling for at different online vendors. Ricky's customer service tried to tell me that it was only available for hair professionals, but I wasn't hearing it, lol.
I was able to try this product last weekend, and its a total hit. My curls are popping, my hair feels ridiculously soft and strong. I cannot explain it, but my strands seemed to have thickened up and looks much more shiny. My hair is smoooottthhh. No fly-aways. I went back to buy two more 16 ounces at the $9.95 price tag. I did peep that the product has cones in it
, but its further down in the list of ingredients so that didn't dissuade me from purchasing.

Likely won't be repurchasing, both for the price and the fact that I found a better DC and protein treatment for my hair, but it does appear to strengthen my strands and reduce shedding. Maybe I'll just have it in the stash if I'm experiencing excessive shedding.
Thank you sweetie.
