Wet Bunning and Protein&Moisture Balance for the Relaxed

[Evolving78]

for the relaxed ladies that practice wet bunning, how often do you use protein, or give yourself protein treatments to keep your hair strong? what are some of the ways to keep balance?

I think it will depend on your individual strand size.

Back when I was relaxed, I used the old hardcore Aphogee Treatment every six weeks like clock work; I have very fine strands, and should have been using protein more frequently.

I think the general trend is:

FINE STRANDS - MORE PROTEIN
THICK STRANDS - MORE MOISTURE

And of course, this will depend on the type of products you are using and your porosity. If your products are generally balanced, you may need to experiment to find products that compliment each other (No wonder I was a PJ!)

What are you currently using?

right now i am currently using Hawaiian Silky 14n1 for moisture and i use the activator gel to slick down my edges
on dry hair-Moisture DC- Keracare Humecto and Elasta QP
Protein Apogee 2 min (i used the stronger protein last month)
shampoo with Keracare 1st lather(to clarify once a month) and Hydrating weekly
i dc twice a week.

i recently have been bunning my hair when it is damp from dc'ing/washing
i add the Hawaiian Silky twice a day

i like how my hair feels right now, but i just don't want my hair to get mushy and break easily.

i use satin scrunchies to bun and a hair net to cover it. or i just use hair pins. i move the bun in a different direction daily.
