Quick Question

I am having a little difficulty with figuring out what products are for protein and how often I should use them. I moisturize everyday with Rusk Smoother and NTM silk touch, but when it comes to protein I know nothing. Help me please.erplexed

I'm not sure. I just really don't have a clear understanding of it. Is if for breakage or something else?

Check out the threads Elizabeth suggested for information about what proteins do. Be sure you understand how they work and what they're used for before you begin using them though. Using them when they're not needed can do more damage than good.

Good luck!
