You should only avoid protein if you think you're protein sensitive. Most people are not. A lot of naturals especially type 4s have fine strands which will probably need or at least like protein and relaxed hair needs protein. Coarse hair *may* be sensitive, but will often still tolerate it in small doses. Hair can also get too much protein from an unnecessary protein treatment, but that doesn't mean you should avoid it for life.

Hair is made of protein and it's very helpful in retaining moisture.

I harp on protein so much because my hair is coarse and I think I overdid protein treatments a while ago so I need to avoid it for awhile.
