Protein Queens: Challenge
- Thread starter NaturallyATLPCH
- Start date
Today, I used SSI Repair & Restore Mask. This product has the same very thin, creamy consistency as their Coco Cream LI. Still, it applied easily and silkily; it also gave the impression that it would have phenomenal slip. Upon rinsing, my hair was soft and moisturized, but not strengthened.

Buying pure proteins is definitely cheaper than buying protein treatments. I buy mines and leave it in, I use half an oz of protein on wash day and leave it in. 1lb lasts me months and I use it every week. If you use protein on a regular basis it's more economical to buy it pure. I recommend getting the hydrolyzed keratin from making cosmetics. You get double for the same price and they have coupons.

Used APB Refresher Spray mixed with some Colorful Protein Neutral Filler. This is turning out to be a nice balancing combination.

How much NPF are you adding to your refresher spray @NaturallyATLPCH? For example, 5%, 10%?

I shop at essential wholesale but never even looked at this protein - looks like I have to broaden my shopping experience on there. I bought clays and activated charcoal from there and love them.

I have a question? Why do you ladies use so much protein?

I use it weekly under my dc and rinse it out. I use a moisturizer with keratin once during the week to remoisturize. Keeps breakage and shedding to a minimal.

Is your hair extremely porous, or mushy?

I'm naturally highly porous with fine hair.

Will use:
Cathy Howse Ultra Black Hair which is more of a perfect Balance of Protein & Moisture

I use a steady dose of protein-laden DCs because it helps to keep my fine, tangle-prone hair strengthened and balanced. Since I've been dosing with protein, I've had no breakage, shedding or detangling issues. My hair has been thriving.

When I regularly use protein the reduction in shedding and breakage is significant.

Deep Conditioning today with Kerastase Cristaliste Perfecting Masque with Neutral Protein Filler, HV Methi Sativa Tea and Ayur-Shea Mix. This mix feels so wonderful on my hair. I was trying to use up the Cristaliste Masque and the remainder of my ayur-shea mix I had a few weeks now.

Hmmmmm @Aggie I'm not sure but I would say about 10%?

This. All of this for me also @shortdub78 . When you have fine strands, tbe strength of protein helps to strengthen them since they are already fragile. My fine strands combined with a kinky curl pattern is a double recipe for breakage and breaking hair.

Used Cathy Howse UBH today which is one of my HG's. Love this stuff!

Okay great. I used about 5% this morning in my mix and my hair turned out fine. I guess I could still use 10% of it next DC day.

This mix is a hit. I will use another DC with it next wash day. The ayur-shea mix is extremely softening to my strands but the NPF balances it

Yes, it is not a whole lot. Hair is still relatively managable.

I have fine hair too, so I understand. Thanks ladies for your input.

What protein treatment do you ladies think is comparable to Komaza Protein Strengthener? I’m trying to make sure I can find an alternative just in case. Thank you!

It's fine and does better with regular protein. I'm not protein sensitive at all.
IMO, nothing. Given its consistency, ingredients and the way it behaves, it truly is in a class by itself. You might need to start hoarding just in case.

Thank you! I think I may do so...just in case!
You're quite welcome. Be sure to do it with a straight face and unapologetic attitude.

I'm glad I've never tried the Komaza Protein DC'er (and if I have it was when they 1st launched and I no longer remember it)
They had "several" things I loved when they 1st launched that later became "discontinued" and that's when I lost interest in the line.
The one and only thing I continued to buy, they were off & on about listing it, so I gave up.
