Where my fine stranded girls at?

There are a few posts where they are advocating protein

i agree. i have been using MT as a protein conditioner (20 minutes under a plastic cap) for my last 3 washes followed by a moisturizing DC and i am seeing less and less shedding. and very little breakage. and now that i'm getting better that detangling, that helps as well. i can tell my hair is getting stronger and easier to manage.

do any of you notice that your hair absorbs moisture like a crazy sponge? my hair can't really get enough.

I have fine thin hair but I think that protein treatments have been helping my hair strands get stronger.

Fine strands checking in, here's my do's and don't list maybe you can relate.

Somethings that have set me back are
Not trimming = major cut
Not combing hair out before washing = tangles galore
Not combing hair during washing and conditioning = tangles
stretching too long = serious breakage and shedding
using crappy products that leave build up on scalp, huge for me = excessive shedding
Using heavy products = shedding

Things I must do
Trim or it will be split-ends-ville
moisturize moisturize moisturize a lil daily, if I don't my ends will be super dry and break
apply leavins and oil to wet hair
wear silk scarf at night and use a satin pillow case
keep healthy scalp usually with amla oil
Oil rinse - my hair absolutely loves it



Supplements that have made a difference
whey protein drinks, grows my hair and strengthens it.
garlic pills cuts out the shedding

Extras:
coffee rinse stops shedding in its tracks
apply aloe vera to my scalp and edges from time to time for thickness and color
also the stuff in my siggy helps

If I think of more I'll add it.

Fine hair girl!
I have to get a million trims or else my hair will not even straighten. And it splits no matter what I do.

thanks so much for sharing this.....AWESOME post!

ETA: I am finding that using protein with every wash is somehow thickening up my fine strands. More hair is staying on my head and not in the comb and this alone is awesome.
