Spinoff: LHCF Was Wrong When They Said...

"Co-washing and deep conditioning solves all"
My hair was over moisturized for years..
(Thanks to a hair analysis) I now use a mild protein treatment bi-weekly, a leave in with protein, and DC once a month... And I never co-wash

Nonie. Njoy. That's all.

Girl that's blasphemy

What'd they say? I know there used to be a lot of participation by both but honestly, I got caught up in so many threads when I joined I can't remember what they both specifically talked about.

@CodeRed - I did consider adding a to the post (and maybe a popcorn gif lol) but, well, it's not so much what they were saying but what "others" didn't like hearing.

You should rinse with cold water...Not with my hair,caused more tangles/knots..

Happy Hair Growing!

The only thing cold rinses gave me was a damn cold..

I wouldn't say that LHCF was wrong about anything per se, just that some things just weren't right for me.

Everything that's "wrong" is "right" for someone.

Joico Moisture Recoery Balm. I loved it when I wasnt blowing my hair out. Now that I am, after 6 washes--Two last night and four today (I started blowing it out last night and realized the product was still thick in my hair)-- it is still coating my hair. Ugh. My blowout looks greasy.

Were any of the washes a clarifyer? I really like the Joico K-Pak Clarifying Poo. I'm sorry your blowout wasn't up to snuff.

No. I need a clarifying poo to wash this mess out???

While I recognize that SOME have a problem with protein sensitivity, avoiding protein is not a one size fits all approach. This is where I've learned the importance of understanding your hair type. Protein is especially important for fine and medium strands - from there it's just a matter of determining protein strength needed and how often.

I remember a time when there were a ton of moisture only threads... Followed by a ton of threads on moisture overload.

While my hair does get quite dry and needs a lot of moisture, I do think that I need to incorporate more protein into my regimen. I'm thinking about going back to some oldie but goody products, Aphogee! I'm gonna pick up the 2 Minute reconstructor and use that bi-weekly, along with the Green Tea Restructurizer and use that after washes. I do use heat from time to time, which might be why I need some more protein. My hair isn't fine at all, but it's not protein sensitive. I know back in the day I also did protein prepoos with eggs mixed with oils and conditioner and it worked wonders, so protein isn't always the enemy!
