Protein vs. Mositurizing

[Culebra]

I am still a little unclear but which conditioners are considered protein and which are considered mositurizering? Example Salerm 21 Wheat mask, AO GPB etc...

Look at the ingredients. Also, the bottle should tell you if it is a moisturizer.

HTH!

I know that Aubrey GPB is considered a protein conditioner, as is Nexxus Keraphix, ORS Replenishing Paks, and LeKair Cholesterol Plus. I think most of the Dominican products, like Salerm, also contain some proteins but may not be "hard core" protein treatments.

Here is a thread that lists MOISTURIZING conditioners:

And here's one that lists PROTEIN conditioners:

I hope this helps!

I'm sure others will chime in here, but you can start figuring it out by looking at the ingredients...I'd say the higher on the list a substance is, the more content it has in the product as a whole; the lower on the list it is, the less content it has in the product. Also, the number of proteins listed (or not) in the product list can give you clues. Thirdly, how it performs on your hair, i.e., is your hair feeling dry or stiff after application, or is moist and pliable, if the product gives you breakage, is it 'bendy' or 'snappy' breakage...

HTH

CAPRYLIC TRICLYCERIDE = Protein conditioner.

I learnt that the hard way.
