What's your favorite protein treatment ??

[ronie]

I love Komaza too because I am all about the overnight process. I put it in and go to bed and my protein is done.

Do you put a plastic cap on?

 

[FelaShrine]

I thought you could only use it for 20 mins..

^^^ Girl, no!

Apply, leave the hair uncovered and allow it to fully dry, then rinse. Although the website and bottle says to process it under a dryer, I didn't use it that way and still received excellent results.

FelaShrine I am not good at following directions

I can't do the dryer so overnight works for me. I get up I the morning and take off my shopping bag and scarf and by the time I hit the shower, it's not as juicy. I will read the directions when I get home because I haven't umm done and my bottle is almost empty

Aphogee 3 minutes keratin treatment, it's a gentle protein low ph and has lots of slip. Been a god send for my protein sensitive dry hair.

I have the other aphogee but three mins sounds good.

I also love the coconut and lime protein treatment. Or rather I use it as a protein. I mix it in the morning and use it at night when it has hardened.

Love all these also, I'm natural with fine medium density high porosity natural 4b hair.

Ooh! These twists are looking great!

Is this considered a hard protein treatment?

You mean the 2 minute right?


Any who, I've been using this product forever, and not really noticing a difference. Then A couple of weeks ago I finally bothered to look at the ingredients and got the gist that this isn't a protein treatment at all, but more of a hyped up moisturizing one. Therefore, I am now looking for a more true to form protein treatment as well.

Millcreek Botanicals Keratin conditioner and Millcreek Botanicals Biotin conditioner.


I had the keratin one in my hair for a couple of hours last night. I forgot how nice this makes my hair feel! I didn't even dc after. I just used QBAOHC and QBCTDG on the ends on six braids. My curls are all arranged at the roots. All clumped nicely.

I can't see any mentions on my IPhone. PM me if it is a must see. Allons y

Good old mayonnaise and eggs.

AO GPB (light). Makes my curls pop and is great because you can use it before shampooing rather than after.
SD's Mocha Silk Infusion (medium). Smells great and makes hair strong, yet soft.
Komaza Care Protein Strengthener (strong). Doesn't make hair hard. Just soft and strong.

not a protein treatment per se, but...

i prefer to use pure hydrolyzed keratin mixed w/ water in a spray bottle...i use it after washes and before i moisturize. it works well for me, brings strength and elasticity...dramatically reduces breakage for me...improves my moisture level. i use protein a lot, actually (a few times a week). my hair craves it.

lately ive been using aphogee green tea & keratin
...dont love it as much as plain keratin, but it works pretty okay.

I am still thanking you for this one.

I use it on my hair prior to relaxing.

I put it in a Spritz bottle and spritz all over before applying the relaxer.

I really appreciate this tip from you.

 

[youwillrise]

no prob! im glad i discovered it...i think i got the idea from someone on another board. i had been having trouble maintaining moisture and discovered that my hair was highly porous and any moisture i put into it quickly went away. the protein helps to fill the holes in my strands...so that i can hold onto moisture longer. i fell off of using the protein for a bit and my hair wasnt having it. lol.

youwillrise, how much water versus hydrolyzed keratin do you use in the mix?

Wow!!!! Learned something new. I want to try this. Where do u purchase urs from?

 

[youwillrise]

i dont measure...i use a snall spray bottle. id say i use maybe 1.5 or 2 capfuls of the keratin (i dont actually use the cap) and the rest is water. there should definitely be much more water than keratin. that was probably no help lol

another note...pure keratin staaaanks! it doesnt linger in my hair, though...i opt to use it at night so it has time to disappear.

 

[SingBrina]

Aphogee. I have been using it for years. When I wear my hair down and I am consistent with it my hair gets sooooo thick and healthy. I get so many compliments after the 3rd or 4th treatment. It can be a hassle but it is so worth it! I wouldn't change it until it stopped working lol

 

[abcd09]

Good to see a good review! I read this and was creeped out http://www.justgrowalready.com/2013/10/wash-day_19.html

I mean isnt it normal for most medium or hardcore protein to get kinda hard til you rinse it out..

I love this protein treatment. My hair usually feels soft when I rinse it out.

 

[iVR]

I normally use a coconut milk and two egg blend for protein, but Nexxus Reconstructor comes in at a strong 2nd place for me.

youwillrise, I am intrigued by this but can you explain how you use this in your regimen? Do you use this combination before you apply your relaxer?
