Protein 1 to 2x per week anyone?

[Neen]

I was reading in a mag a few months back and it was saying that if you have a relaxer to use a protein treatment once a week and twice a week if you have severe breakage. I started doing it once a week and have had no breakage, even in the crown area (my weak spot). Has anyone else tried this and what were your long-term results?

 

[Angelicus]

I use light protein treatments once a week, sometimes twice. Hair is thriving and i am smiling

this has prevented a lot of breakage since my underprocessing.

Note: it works for my hair! wooo hoo!

 

[GodsPromises]

I use Motion CPR as one of my CO washes at least twice a week and I have notice not much breakage and my hair is so soft

 

[BrEE]

all of my conditioners have protein in it, does that count.

 

[LABETT]

MY hair seem to be loving protein especially surge my hair always gets some type of protein weekly.

 

[Poohbear]

Ive never used a protein treatment in my life

but I never had problems with breakage and my hair still grew long. Before finding this forum in April 2004, I never even heard of protein treatments!

But Im going to start doing it once a week once I get some money to buy one (Im thinking about getting Aubrey Organics GPB

 

[moneychaser]

My hair LOVES protein.. I recently got caught up in the moisturizing conditioner hype and my hair broke off. So Im back to proteining ever week, and my hair is LOVING it

 

[PrettyBrownEyes]

I use moisturizing conditioners that contain protein regularly.

 

[offthechainliz]

I just started doing them about 3 weeks ago and I my hair also loves it! It has made my hair stronger, healthier and better able for light to reflect off.

 

[Ayeshia]

I use GPB once a month

 

[Purtygurly]

I use mild protein twice a week.

Hi Neen,

I've used protein weekly for the past year-and-a-half with positive results. I think it's because my hair is/was color-treated and relaxed, so the double-process made my hair more receptive to it. I also think the amount of protein hair can take varies from individual to indivual, products (e.g., Motions CPR, Aubrey Organics GPB, Elucence Emergency Moisture Repair Treatment, etc.) notwithstanding.

ps ~ aren't you mommy to a little red-haired son? how is his hair coming along?

Yep

He and his hair are doing good. I ended up cutting it short again though...he likes the clean cut look

So now I am using the BB grease on there which is doing just fine. I hate to say it, but I put the grease on my hair sometimes and I really like it. it makes it soft and shiny. (I hope the healthy hair police don't find out about that

)

 

[Tracy]

I use protein at least weekly.

 

[LadyZ]

I think I will try the protein once a week also...... and I will try the co washes too.......
hope it helps this hair of mine......
thanks

I dont think anything is wrong with using grease. I dont know why some think it is such a problem using. I think some just dont know how to use it...they might put too much on their hair or scalp making it look greasy. I feel that as long as you use the grease sparingly, its Ay OKay

 

[Tracy]

I don't think it's a matter of amount. I think it depends on the person's hair. If it works on you Neen, I say do what works....the healthy hair police only know what works for their OWN hair...
