Protein Leave-Ins?

[Lexib]

Is there such a thing? Sometimes I overdo it with moisture and would like to undo my mistake on the spot by adding some protein. So far the only way I know how to do this is to either wait a few days until hair absorbs it all or do a protein DC/cowash. But I can't be bothered with that all the time

It seems like all leave-ins are moisturisers. Can anyone reccomend a protein leave-in...if they even exist?

I believe that Infusium 23 (repair)ologie is a leave in protein treatment. The other ladies will add more I'm sure.

I think a lot of the ladies here actually complain that many of the leave-ins contain too much protein. I have Goldwell Kerasilk Instant Silk Fluid and Lacio Lacio which both contain silk proteins (the Lacio says "concentrated silk protein" on the front of the bottle), and Giovanni Direct leave-in which has soybean proteins. The bottle actually says that "this conditioner infuses each individual hair with proteins."

Sebatian Potion 9
Infusium
Africa's Best Hair Mayo Leave In

I like Nexxus Headdress, it contains keratin amino acids.

Aphogee Provitamin Leave-in is protein.

 

[ChocalateDiva]

I use Nexxus Humectress as a leavein- its has protien.

Thanks alot!

The Lacio w/ the silk proteins sounds great but I dont remember ever seeing that in any BSS. If not I'll prob pick up either the Infusium, Aphogee or Nexxus tomorrow

Has anyone gotten any negative side effects eith any of these (excessive drying, brittleness, flaking) or do they all work pretty much the same?

I have been using Redken Anti-snap concentrated reconstructor leave-in.
I mainly apply it to wet hair. It has done my ends good, I haven't been noticing as much breakage. A little goes a long way.

Plus: It contains ceramides

this is my ABSOLUTE favorite protein leave-in:

the brand is Coloresse (knockoff of the crazy-expensive pureology line that's sold at Sally's Beauty Supply)

this is the "coloresse rescue leave-in moisturizer".

it has a great amount of slip, has a truly invigorating smell, and it's very moisturizing as well.
