Protein Queens: Challenge

[imaginary]

I did a Dudley's treatment after an overnight henna, which sounds crazy I know but after a quick rinse out conditioner my hair was still soft again and I knew I needed the strength because I was going to be blowdrying it. My hair has been in my signature bun, which I know I need to move around but my hair isn't even all over enough for that. So for added protection when moisturising my bun with aphogee provitamin, I added a bit of Neutral protein filler to the last of my Giovanni direct leave-in.

I think I'm going to stump up the cost for Dudley's DRC, it sounds like such a good treatment. Whooo it's expensive though!

Brists with the last of my Cantu Leave-In cream mixed with ApHogee ProV leave in. I have a love hate with the ApHogee leave-in. I don’t like wet leave-in’s in general. But mixed with a cream it’s fine.

Will be using:

I've been absently using a lot of protein lately, I'm going to have to ease up a bit. Will revisit in a couple of weeks.

I used Shi-Naturals Peppermint Deep Conditioner (balancer)

Didn't feel like washing my hair so I just moisturised and mixed some NPF in

Oooh, lemme go add some of this to my protein DC since I haven't gotten to that step as yet

ETA:

I threw in a couple tablespoons of Dudley's DRC Protein Treatment while I was at it since I haven't used this one in a while. This way it's watered down but mixed in with some other nourishing conditioners to give my hair the strength it needs for now.

I used Komaza care protein treatment under dryer for 30 minutes.

I've been noticing a few broken pieces. I've been navigating growing out heat damage for the last year , so I think it's partly from that. I also wore a twist out for half of the week and that always leaves my hair exposed. Two weeks ago I used Apoghee Step 1, so I didn't want to use a strong protein again. Today I'm comparing two conditioners. SSI Okra Reconstructing Conditioner, and Mielle Organics Babassu Oil & Mint Deep Conditioner. I just put them on the wrong sides of my head .

I currently have henna on my hair and will be doing the 2 step henna-indigo treatment today since I have time. Church came out shortly after 10 so I thought I'd spend the rest of the day hendigoing my hair since it's a long process anyway.

Today's protein treatment was GLISS by Schwarzkopfs Ultra Moisturizing liquid keratin. Not sure where it falls in the spectrum of light medium or hard proteins but this is my second week using it. My hair likes it enough to finish the jar; and I like it enough to explore the other treatments in the line.

I think I have this protein treatment somewhere in my stash but I haven't tried it as yet. Maybe I should pull that one out for my next protein deep conditioning session. How does your respond to it @Nichelle_jb? Would you say it is a mild, medium or strong treatment?

 

[Nichelle_jb]

@Aggie,
This is probably a medium to hard protein treatment. The seller/maker says that you can use the treatment every 2 to 4 weeks, if necessary. Excellent ingredients. It's not cheap ($15 for 8 oz). I don't like the smell but I can tell the difference in my hair (stronger and softer) after using it.

Okay great. Thank you for the quick response.

Happy Mothers Day Protein Queens! This weeks shot of protein is again compliments of Schwarzkopf and again at $6.50 and with the strength of Walgreen's ongoing BOGO 50% offer, I feel confident trying these items. So far so good.

I liked the Ultimate Moisture and plan to repurchase unless this one knocks my socks off!

Used henna and indigo today for color but it's strengthens the hair as well.

Did a Dudley drc-28 Rx yesterday. Hair definitely didn't feel as soft as it did the first few treatments, which I'm taking as a good sign that my hair is getting back the strength it needs. I also did it in preparation for the braids I'll be installing soon. After deep conditioning my hair felt much better. Am pleased.

 

[LushLox]

I used Affirm 5 in 1 yesterday, hair feels heavenly now. It really is a nice treatment.

Do you deep condition after using this? When I use it on relaxer day, it's fine. When I use it on a regular wash day, my hair is so tangled after rinsing it out. Even when I deep condition after, it doesn't help.

Last week I used ORS Hair Mayonnaise. I left in on overnight and I think that was to much for my hair. It was dryer than I'd like while I was styling it. So this week I'm switching to a more moisturizing conditioner and using Alikay Honey and Sage with Hemp seed oil on top. The Alikay has some protein but it always leaves my hair soft.
