Hi Jada/images/graemlins/wave.gif
I was reading a post by Beana3 re: protein, reconstructors, and moisturizers on the thread"good deep conditioners and reconstructors". I was astonished at how much protein she uses. She says it has benefited her hair. Here's what she said:
"Destinee, here's what regime I try to follow.... i'm not always on point but this keeps me focused
deep protein (aphogee, penetraitt) followed by moisturizing condit week 1
moisturizing condit (D&L cholesterol) week2
reconstructor (ORS hair mayo) week3
ORS mayo again week4
moisturizing deep condit week 5
... Some of the time I dont go for the moisturizing condits and just use the ORS 4 of the 5 weeks, I've had no problems thus far and I've been doing it for a while. Basically i'm focusing on keeping the hair that grows in strong (I have a relaxer, so this may not be much of a concern for you) as i cut off my overprocessed ends.
HMMM im not too sure of what else to suggest, have you had any luck with cholesterols type condits??? I love thick, heavy condits.
@ Lindy,
I was wondering the same thing about the protein helping with shedding. I personally dont think that doing protein treatments will stop shedding. Breakage, yes, but shedding no."
I haven't seen her posting lately but I PM'd her to ask how are these treatments going. Her theory sounds good even tho' some say too much protein is no good for the hair because it makes it hard and then the hair breaks. I'm wondering as long as you follow it up with a good moisturizing conditioner, then everything should be fine? At least according to Beana, everything seems to be ok.
