My hair is fine today {thank goodness} so whatever was happening was a wash moment thing
Saludable84 greenandchic. It seriously could have been that I was manipulating heavily damp hair when I normally manipulate 90% air dried hair. And, I tried a different leave-in {Darcy Botanicals) when I normally use Pura Body. So there were a few more variables at play than what I originally mentioned. But yes, I'm due to clarify on my next wash day which is tomorrow. I will report back and let you all know how it goes. I'm just not interested in hard protein at this time but I thank you guys for the suggestion. My hair was tipped a little too far on the protein side just a few weeks ago after using light protein weekly for about 5 or 6 weeks straight. I just feel using a hard protein wouldn't be wise right now. I will consider if breakage starts back up again and I can't get it under control.
greenandchic, I go back and forth with heat. While my hair responds best with heat, it's just not enough hours in the day to do heat each wash day. I work out often so those heat styles get messed up within days so that's a lot of effort on wash day to have it go down the drain days later. I will be heat styling tomorrow though...or it's my goal anyway.
