So I know about protein overload, and how it makes your hair feel (hard)...But this puzzles me...I'm 8 wks post (transitioning) and I cw everyday, after my night workouts...It was time for me to wash my hair last night. I used a V05 moisturizing shampoo with no protein...and then a moisturizing shampoo by Motions...But my hair ended turning hard as soon as the shampoo touched my hair, both times! It was crazy! This has happened before, but I was using a shampoo that I knew had protein in it...So does my hair hate shampoos now? I pre-pooed with VO5 Champaigne Kisses and EVOO (In fact, that's what I always pre-poo with, I just change up the oils)...My hair used to NEVER GET HARD with those shampoos...I'm cool with not using them...I was just curious....

Why are you using 2 shampoos? I heard that the VO5 shampoos were harsh. Have you done a deep moisturizing treatment?

I used two (just that time), because it freaked me out, and I thought that if I used the Motions, the hardness would go away! (I don't know where that came from)...And I do the moisturizing treatment everytime I wash...the steam treatment kind...

It doesn't necessarily mean your hair doesn't like shampoo... sometimes if you use too much shampoo, it can make your hair hard. Just do a good deep conditioning treatment after shampooing and you should be straight.

But even if you are doing the steam treatments you still have to make sure that the conditioner you are using is an actual "deep conditioner" that says "deep conditioner or penetrating on the bottle. Because if it's not no amount of time, heat or steam is going to infuse moisture into your hair shaft it's just going to sit on top. Your hair could very well be in need of a deep contioning treatment with a good "deep conditoner".

Whenever i've tried sauve, vo5 ect. shampoos and conditoners they make my hair hard and rough as soon as i put it on I need really moisturizing shampoos.

Those dont work for my hair for some reason, people were talking about it in a thread i think titled "can anyone NOT use cheap shampoos/conditoners" (something like that)

So shampoos that work for me are like cream of nature, elasta qp creme, keracare detangling

I agree with fluffy. Your hair doesn't hate shampoos. You just chose the wrong type of shampoo for your hair type.
