Mild Protein Treatment?

[Mercie]

What could I do for a mild protein treatment?
I think my hair is a little bit on the too-soft & too weak side.

How can you tell when your hair is in need of a protein treatment?
I don't want to give my hair protein unnecessarily.

I can tell when I need protein because my hair feels mushy. I use Nexxus Emergencee. I think that's mild.

Thank you.

How do you use the Nexxus Emergencee?
Is it a conditioner.. ?

Aphogee 2min reconstructor is considered mild.

No it's not a conditioner. It's a protein treatment. I put it in after I shampoo. Then I sit under the dryer with it with no cap on until it gets hard. The I rinse it out and the deep condition under the dryer for about 30 mins. My hair comes out strong yet soft.

Yup, mushy is exactly how your hair will feel. My favorite light protein treatment is Frederick Fekkai Protein Reparative Spray. This stuffs the bomb! I love it because it adds moisture, shine and acts as a light protein (soy & milk proteins) leave in treatment.

SistaSlick has written some excellent articles including one on moisture/protein balance, including suggestions for products:

I think Nexxus Emergencee is a hard protein especially since you let it get hard on your hair? I know aphogee 2 min is a mild protein.

Bumping for more responses.....

Nexxus Emergencee is considered a hard protein. Keraphix would be the mild protein by Nexxus.

Nexxus emergencee is a mild protein treatment IMO....It leaves my hair very soft and strong at the same time.

I use Le Kair Deep Protein Conditioner for Chemically Treated Hair. It is mild enough to be used on a weekly basis and you can either leave it on for a few minutes then rinse out or add heat and leave on longer for a more intense conditioning.

(Thank you everyone. Sorry for the late reply)

Since this is a leave in treatment.. you don't have to rinse it out?

 

[Babygurl]

I agree with the Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor for a mild protein or any cholesterol treatment usually works if your hair is feeling mushy or even starting to snap.

Agree with Aphogee 2 Minute being a great mild protein treatment. But even milder that that are:
- Roux Fermodyl #7 for fine limp hair (Leave in)
- Aphogee Green Tea Reconstructor spray (leave in)
- Neutral protein filler (leave in or rinse out)

I have protein sensitive relaxed hair and I use one or the other of these each week to keep my hair from getting mushy in the first place.
