what strong/heavy protein treatment?

[coolsista-paris]

Hi ladies,

Im a 4 (b mostly) natural and that has fine hair. Its like it can even break with the wind! have to be so careful.

My hair like protein. I use Apoghee 2 step treatment usually and my hair corresponds well.

BUT: is there any other hard protein treatments i can use that DO NOT need to be harden, and without the SMELL of apoghee (hubby says i make the whole house stink with that thing) i hate the smell.

i had a great protein-moisture balance in december or january (the 1st and last time, i did everything the same way and still doesnt come out like on that day.....0 breakage that day)....

I know exactly what you mean having fine hair, seems like it will break if you just blow on it! I use the protein conditioners listed below and I like them.

Mega Tek
Ultra Sheen Duo Tex Protein Conditioner
Ultra Black Hair Conditioner
Nexxus Emergencee' (Reconstructor)

I use an egg mix with conditioner for pre-poo when I want heavy protein. The amount of conditioner and EVOO I add depends on how strong I want the protein.

When I was relaxed I used Aphogee 2 step, now as a natural I use K-Pac, and will start using Curl Junkie's Repair me

Just used phytonectar its the best hard protein I ever used. I purchased from Ulta because if you use it and don't like it you can return it. ;-)

This thread just reminded me that I want to try Nexxus Emergencee. I was reading a thread awhile back in which ladies were recommending the Nexxus over ApHogee.

You've got some good suggestions, but from a past experience I had, I found that my hair seemed fine when it was dry. and of course it broke. Don't overdo the protein. Try adding extra moisture by any means at first. . .extra washing, co washing, new moisturizer(or one you already have that is water based), try a moisturizing leave in.

It is easier to correct if you use too much moisture than it is if you use too much protein.

I wanna try Ultra Duo just because it is cheaper than Nexxus but I LOVES me some Nexxus.

I just got a 3 piece set of Joico K-Pak from JCP, cant wait to try it after I use up my Nexxus.

I agree with this very much! And bc you are natural you might wanna try the moisture first....

I am relaxed so I know that my protein bonds are broken because of the relaxer.

EO Essentials has a DC with keratin pretty high up on the list. I'm not protein sensative but I found this one a little to strong from my hair! My hair loves Doo Gro Mega Thick Deep Conditioner because while it does contain keratin, it's in the middle of the ingredient list so I think it has less concentration than the EO Essentials. I plan to use this every 6 weeks and still follow up with a moisturizing DC but I also want to give the new Giovanni keratin conditioner a try at some point!

i usually protein just 1 à month .i did à moisturizing condit last week but had breakage as if it was too condutionned. although i used some aPhogee 2 minute. seems it wasnt strong enough.

Dudley's DRC smells like the Aphogee.... I used to use Bed Head's Dumb Blonde but I think they may have changed the formula along with the packaging.

I'm a 4b and I use Joico-Kpac once a month. My hair loves it.

I LOVE nexus emergencee. It's a reconstructor but I love how it makes my hair feel when I wash it out and then follow up with a moisturizing conditioner. My hair feels even more pliable, smooth, soft and strong. I also feel I can use it often without a sensitivity to protein. No hard hair or anything. I always end up going back to it. It's def a staple in my regimen, I'm relaxed.

I really love the Aubrey Organics Blue Green Algae Hair Rescue Conditioning Mask… http://www.aubrey-organics.com/ProductInfo/801.aspx

My hair usually breaks off at 8 weeks post, but I haven’t seen any breakage at all, no strands in my comb, nothing. I’m very happy with it.

I wanna try Ultra Duo just because it is cheaper than Nexxus but I LOVES me some Nexxus.

If I had to choose one over the other I would pick Nexxus Emergencee'. It feels like a stronger treatment on my hair than the Duo Tex.
