weekly protein?

[dstdiva]

with the cold (chicago) and my coats, etc., i have been experiencing lots of breakage and shedding. so, i decided to open my bottle of nexxus emergencee. i have used it three times in the past 2 weeks (after each shampoo). i actually like the way my hair feels after...very strong and supple and the shedding has eased up. now i'm scared though, am i using it too often????

Perhaps you can use a Moisturizing conditioner that has a good balance of protein as your weekly conditioner such as Nexxus Humectress.

I've never used the Emergencee but, from what I understand it's a very strong protein treatment. Have you tried Nexxus Keraphix you may be better off using that one more frequently as opposed to the Emergencee.

The Keraphix would be better to use weekly because it is not as strong as the emergencee.

i thought i read somewhere that i could use it weekly, but only if my hair needed it...it's been responding nicely...i'll probably lay off it for a while cuz the shedding situation has been mostly corrected.

Well, let me know dstdiva. I'm in Chicago too, and have been experiencing the same issues: I Keraphixed last week and the shedding has eased up, but I'm wondering if your product choice and/or technique are building up a better resistance, if you will, for the weather.

you know my real problem? that damn coat! i have an inverted v patch of broken off hair. if i put on my satin scarf (over my real scarf or coat), it just slides on around! well, i've been washing about every4-5 days and using emergencee and then using my beloved pantene (the last time i used LUST). i add a little more conditioner (as a leave-in) and let air-dry. i have relaxed hair and it's been coming out very nicely. okay, okay, i curl it in the morning after the airdry. (i hope peachtree isn't reading this).

Damn coat! For me, it's my damn scarf always rubbin' against my hair!

Well, in the next few weeks, tell me if you're seeing any aversion to/benefit from the added protein...I may re-adjust for the rest of the winter if you're finding that it's given you a bigger wall of resistance (I'm curious 'cuz too much protein is one of my biggest hair fears!

(and BTW, haven't these last few days of weather been CRAZY!!!)

i'll let you know. overall the winter hasn't been bad, but i hate cold wind and snow (i know, what the heck am i doing in chicago, right?). i actually think the protein is helping with the harsh winter conditions. do you wear a hat? i never do. how do you wear your hair?
