I found some broken hairs in my crown. Not a lot. Very small. I cannot have this disaster again. My crown hold moisture very well and is prone to drying the slowest. I will have to up Protein and return to Saturday wash days.

I used my C&C Spun Sugar today.

Even as Natcha' Head we still have to implement Protein from time to time.

Speaking of "Protein" I still must admit M:C Caramel Treatment is/was still one of my Favs!

Love/Loved that stuff.

I have a pretty good 'stash' of Protein DC'ers: Claudie, HTN, M:C, HV Methi, CJ Repair Me and several others - ST'icals Molasses & Strand Repair (I consider those fairly lightweight Proteins tho')

Ever since incorporating hard core proteins every other month, my hair and moisture retention has thrived.

My strands are super, duper fine. I had a little breakage in the front but it's growing out.

@IDareT'sHair
I consider everything I have but the Claudie's Reconstructor to be light to light-medium treatments. I'd love to get a medium-heavy to heavy treatment if someone made one.
Might just have to get the Neutral Protein Filler or Babyface until APB makes a good one

Which hardcore protein do you use? I don't think I own any.I use a light-med protein once every 6 months.

I was using Aphogee (the first one) but now I use Colorful Neutral Protein filler.
My hair doesn't do anything with reconstructors, etc. I need the straight no chaser protein. Light protein doesn't do anything either. I need all or nothing lol...

@rileypak @NaturallyATLPCH @bajandoc86
I still have a couple Salon Brands in my stash too.
Nex-xus Emer-gencee, Aphogee 2-Step and a few others.

I used NPF when I was relaxed. I haven't purchased it since I've been Natural.

@rileypak
HV's Methi-Set is pretty hard.

@NaturallyATLPCH
If I were to look, I probably have more Reconstructors than actual Protein-Treatments.

ETA: I still have an unopened bottle of Original Mega-Tek.

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

I've used the Aphogee 2 Minute Reconstructor and the SSI Okra Reconstructor. The Okra was better, but after using it for a while it really didn't do anything.

I actually did my first hard core protein treatment last May and it was the first one I'd ever done since going natural. Changed my life.

 

[rileypak]

I'd just like a nice, strong keratin & collagen treatment with a dose of silk amino acids in it

The way this laziness is set up, I might be sleeping in this henna mix .

@curlyhersheygirl
You know what?

Mine didn't show any movement the entire time. It just kinda showed up today. The Tracking info said in RED: No information on this item

Ooh that's what happened to my order as well. It just kinda showed up here at the courier after the initial Shipping notification. What's up with that?

@NaturallyATLPCH
I hate keeping stuff in my hair overnight. But I do get the laziness factor.

That's how I was last weekend.

My crown stays a HAM. SMH. Sheds like crazy and breaks frequently. I am always seeing short hairs.

I really dunno. I anticipate needing a good trim at my next hair appointment to help even things out. Cause these ends looking a bit thin. I HATE THIN ENDS.

Girl don't I know it. I had to use a strong protein treatment today to correct my over moisturized hair this morning. It was a mess I had to correct and quickly.

I have the 'bolded' @rileypak and had to mix a little of it with a tiny bit of Keracare Super Reconstructor I had left over. It was a really nice treatment. I like it a lot. It has my hair feeling very strong and wonderful. APB UCS really softened that baby right back to touchable silkiness.

 

[Saludable84]

@bajandoc86 @Aggie i have a natural friend, 4C, who has told me she uses protein 4 times a year. I clearly cannot go that route. I have to use protein once a month and it needs to be hard protein. Sometimes, for me, natural is no different from being relaxed.

Well let's see. I'm 4c and use it every other month so that would be 6 times a year.
And you are right. I was very misinformed in the beginning of my journey. Heck, based on the kinks and coils of natural hair, I would think that protein is necessary to strengthen the bends and coils, you know?

Thank you for that bit of "edumaction" tonight.

I just threw that jar outside in my Trash.

That's an EXCELLENT combo. That's what I did during my last protein treatment, that UCS had my hair moisturized and balanced to a T!

Agreed. My hair is fine and definitely needs protein to add a little thickness and strength. I believe it's the reason why I think henna works so well on my hair as well.

Very interesting point you have there @NaturallyATLPCH, hmm,

 

[NaturallyATLPCH]

Okay if I can hang until 10:30, that will be 6 hours for this henna mix so I'll rinse and DC.

It should have been there. Because it was reported over there as a "Miss"

I am so glad I never bought that one too @IDareT'sHair. Geesh! Scary!

I've often thought the same thing. The hair in the natural state has too much going on and you need to manipulate it to much for it to not need protein.

I have 4A hair which apparently has a thinner outter layer. I really cannot get away with going longer that 4 weeks. 12x a year seems like a lot, but it works for me.
