Protein Treatments with Braids

[Ashee]

Has this ever been attempted? Is this possible?

 

[AngelicRose07]

i wouldnt recommend it. it would be almost impossible to rinse it all out. why not just wait?

Just wanted to know before I braided up

i have my own hair braided and i've done protein treatments loads of times without any problems.

I have done so using Elasta Breakage Serum. Great results my hair doesn't break off or shed that much when I take the braids out.

So if I did this process & slapped on extra moisturizer, would that protect my hair from any damage from residue that might have been left behind?

Just want to make sure so now I'll have another option when it comes to protein.

I've read other girls using Surge during braids... That has protein right?!

Thank you all for your responses!!

Den1, what did you use as a protein treatment?

 

[Nanyanika]

Your gonna be shocked when i tell you that...i've used Aphogee over braids ha ha, i just made sure to use a good moisturising conditioner afterwards and my hair was fine.. i've also used Elasta QP bc serum, and reconsturtors like Nexxus Keraphix and motions cpr. my hair stays stronger like this.

Are you saying you have only your hair without extensions or do you have extensions added? I think having only your hair braided, it's easier to get the product out as opposed to having extensions, JMO. I had my hair braided yesterday, and I will wait on the protein until I take these out. Let me know either way.

I hear alot of people use infusium leave in regularly for protein with braids.

Wow, this is timely. I regularly use either Surge or Infusium on my braids. Today, during a wash, I decided to use AO GPB. I thought to myself, "Well, it's creamy and light." I really rinsed well and followed with a moisturizing conditioner. Protein has really helped my hair so I didn't want to go without it for the entire braided time. If Den does it, good enough for me!

Bump...............!

I used to do this a lot in braids without an issue. As long as you wash everything out thoroughly with luke warm water and not hot water (if it is an egg protein etc), I don't think you'll have any major problems.

I see this is an old thread. I spray my hair with Infusium 23 or Surge every day when I'm in braids. That's usually enough for my hair.
