Protein in The Ingredients Does Not Necessarily Mean It's A Protein Conditioner

[Supergirl]

Good to know. So ORS RP is not a protein conditioner....nice.

So are GPB and QP Breakage Control Serum protein based conditioners or treatments? Thanks for the info ladies

The last 2, I would categorize as protein treatments.

Barbie, I'm sorry--I'm not familiar with that one at all.

Mschic/Faith--I would not categorize ORS Mayo as a protein, but I wouldn't necessarily categorize it as a moisturizing treatment either. --maybe a good balance of both.

Supergirl,

Where does Jherring Redding Protein fall? Hardcore/light? Anyone use this and if so what are your results?

No, if you don't see protein anywhee in the ingredients, then it is absolutely NOT a protein.

 

[punchinella]

So the panthenol is not protein? They say it restores the hair's natural PH. What in the conditioner would cause that?

Oh yes and thax for responding so soon.

 

[CreoleBelle]

I have the Duotex protein treatment. How often should/could the treatment be used? I'm currently 11 weeks post relaxer.

 

[rocky]

This is a great thread about protein. Now would someone please explain to me when you would need to put on a reconstructor protein?

 

[pink_n_green_iz_me]

What about the Affirm 5 in 1, is that heavy or light protein?

 

[Supergirl]

I have the Duotex protein treatment. How often should/could the treatment be used if? I'm currently 11 weeks post relaxer.

I would say once every 3-4 weeks.

*to combat breakage
*as preventative care
*when your hair will not hold moisture

 

[Supergirl]

I'd say medium.

Bump Bump Bump

This helped me alot..I'm seeing some of the same questions I had. Hopefully this will help.

 

[morehairplease]

ladies , SO SO much for this thread!

 

[LaReyna756]

So, even though ORS Mayo says protein on the label (i think), it's not a protein cond/trmnt....does it only become protein when an egg is added to it? TIA

It's definitely a protein conditioner with our without the egg.

 

[tschizum]

Thanks for posting I think I have been a little confused myself thinks for clarifying!

 

[LABETT]

I am glad to see this thread again I need to rearrange some of conditioners in my regimen that I thought was protein like ORS Hair Mayo.

 

[gorgeoushair]

I think Motions CPR and Motions Silk Protein would be a good combo of both but Motions CPR is stronger.

 

[turnergirl]

Has anyone used the new formula of Aphogee 2 Minute Keratin Reconstructor? People were upset about the mineral oil and glycerin. How does it work?

 

[natdream]

Thanks for the info. I realize that I have a lot of protein conditioners or is that treatments? So me being a product junkie gives me a reason to pick up more conditioner.

 

[DivaRox]

Yup me too. Plus, I had to recheck my warehouse before I bought more products-I forgot I already have the Aphoghee 2 minute reconstructor. However, I just did a CON reconstructor treatment so I should be good on protein.

 

[queenbee8687]

Do you need to use hardcore protein even if your hair isn't breaking? Or is it enough to just use lesser protein treatments weekly?

Thanks in advance

I would agree with you. No hardcore treatment would be necessary if the hair is not breaking, unless perhaps you are anticipating breakage or your hair is just recovering from a period of breakage.

Just because...

For more clarity:

Is it a protein treatment?

Motions CPR--YES
Motions Moisture Silk Protein--YES
ORS Olive Oil--NO
Kenra Intensive Emollient--NO
Cholesterol Conditioners--NO
Elucence Extended Moisture Repair--YES (though the name says moisture)
Aphogee Treatment for Damaged Hair--YES*
Aphogee 2 Minute Keratin Reconstructor--YES
Joico K-Pak--YES (not starred, but I'd consider this semi-hardcore)
ORS Mayo--NO
Dudley DRC--YES*
Ultra Sheen Duotex--YES*
Nexxus Keraphix--YES
Nexxus Emergencee--YES*
Dudley Cream Protein--YES

*=hardcore, though there are different levels of hardcority (like my word?) For example, a hardcore with keratin or animal protein is going to be stronger than one with collagen.

Notice that the one with the stars are all products that come in liquid form. They are so potent because they are straight protein (a few stabilizers and preservatives) with no creams and emollients to get in the way. The protein goes straight on your hair strand unobstructed by other ingredients.

Now, let's talk about what's really sad--I've used all of the above except 3!

Excellent. Thank you!
