I have a confession to make...I still don't understand this whole protein vs. moisture thing. Thanks to Sistaslick and others here for providing very detailed explanations....put if haircare was a high school, I think I'd be in the "special" class.
So, I've been pulling, stretching, feeling, and snapping strands of my hair trying to determine its strength and elasticity. But, I feel like I need to compare it to someone's hair I KNOW is strong and healthy. I don't know if I'm pulling too hard or not hard enough. I don't know how much stretching of the strand is too much (indicating that I need protein). I don't know how much pulling healthy hair should be able to sustain before breaking.
Basically, I feel like I need a visual example to use as a reference. Would anyone be willing to post a clip of you testing your hair's strength and elasticity? Or maybe somone can suggest another way to determine if I need protein vs. moisture. Any advice would be appreciated...I'm really confused
