Who uses protein weekly? If so what are you using?

[skoloco]

Me too! I use protein every week on wash day. During the summer, I washed 2x per week and alternated between protein or moisturizing in my deep conditioning with the heat cap. Now, I pre-poo on dry hair either UBH deep conditioner, Silk Elements cholesterol, or Organics Hair mayo and then poo and follow with a moisturizing conditioner. My hair loves this routine. I may try an egg soon too because that sounds gross and interesting!

I've actually done this the last couple of times I've wanted a light protein treatment. I just used the egg white because this is where the protein is, mixed with about a tbs. of mayonnaise, along with Nexxus Humectress. It is slimy and gross, but my hair has never been so soft afterwards. I use Nexxus Emergencee every two weeks, and use the egg/mayo in between.

 

[ChasingBliss]

I do...I use Nexxus Enphuse, with quinoa protein.

 

[HoneyDew]

I need to start back usign protein more often. I had not done protein in about 4 weeks. All moisture. My hair feels so thick because of henna.

But, after 4 weeks my hair started breaking a little. I did a 5 min. deep condition with Aphogee Keratin reconstructor mixed with a little Roux Mendex. I could tell even after the rinse out that my hair felt different. It was TOO soft before the protein.

I really need to do it more often.

 

[RZILYNT]

Every 4th or 5th shampoo I use UBH. Every 6 weeks Aphogee.

 

[Ronda123]

I use a mild protein (Motions CPR) weekly.

 

[InnerSoul]

my UBH deep conditioner has mild protein in it and I use this 2x per week... however my heavy protein treatment(Aphogee) or Nexxus emergencee I probably use that once every month and a half when I have too much breakage(like when stretching out my relaxers)..

 

[locabouthair]

im glad i looked into this thread. i knew protein was important for relaxed hair but i never knew it should be done weekly. i was neglecting protein and was using moisturizing conditioners every week. then i decided to use emergencee and i still got breakage. but i will try using a light protein every week followed by a moisturizing conditioner.

 

[ItsyBitsy]

I use Aubrey's GPB mixed with Honeysuckle Rose or Kenra once a week. It gives me both protein & moisture in one easy step. My hair is strong, breakage free & moisturized

 

[baglady215]

I need to get back to this. Maybe I'll prepoo with Motions CPR every week.

Re: Who uses protein weekly? If so what are you using?

I use ORS Hair Mayo mixed with an egg once a week, because I'm constantly baggying, I need the protein.

 

[sugaplum]

I do a protein treatment once a week with either Elasta QP DPR Miss Key 10 en 1.

 

[dreysonsmommy2011]

I use Motion CPR every two weeks and a reconstructor every week.

Weekly treatment for me (courtesy of Softtresses)

Castor Oil, Aphogee Reconstructor and Cholesterol...no looking back on this one.

 

[locabouthair]

to those that use protein weekly, do you every use a heavy protein treatment like aphogee or emergencee? and if so how often do u use it?

 

[Proudpiscean]

I use some sort of protein weekly, and my hair has been thanking me for it! Like someone else said- protein is crucial for relaxed hair.
I usually will prepoo with AO GPB, & follow it with and moisturizing poo and conditioner. Sometimes I use Duo Tex, or Nexxus keraphix. I always use a reconstructor after relaxing.

 

[Proudpiscean]

to those that use protein weekly, do you every use a heavy protein treatment like aphogee or emergencee? and if so how often do u use it?

Only use those every 6 weeks. They are heavy proteins.

 

[guesswho]

I use aphogee 2 min, keratin protein once a week and for a deep protein treatment I use nexxus emergencee once a month, I have basically no breakage this is working well

 

[HERicane10]

I use the "Cathy Howse" DC Recipe with MNT + Duo-tex added, 2-3 per week for 20 minutes with heat.

 

[20perlz]

I use ORS Mayo weekly as a pre-poo (along with Amla). I have been doing that for about 2 months. I didnt like the aphogee hard treatment, but every now and then I use the 2 minute reconstructer...about every 4 wks (really, more like as needed).

 

[Gisselle]

I use ORS Mayo, AO GPB, or Joico K Pak every week. I use Emergency every six weeks.

 

[csmoot]

I use Motions CPR as prepoo once a week. But the closer I get to my relaxer time I feel the need to use a heavier protein at the line of demarcation to stop the shedding. So I used KeraCare Super Reconstructor. I still have some shedding but not NEARLY as much as I had last time with my relaxer stretch.

 

[pmichael52172]

I currently use the Aphogee 2 min reconstructor once a week. Once I finish the bottle, I think I will upgrade to either Aphogee heavy duty or Dudley's DRC 28 after every touch up (6 weeks).

My hair is prone to so many issues so if I do the heavy duty, I either won't do any in between or maybe what's left of my Aubrey GPB sparingly.

 

[luvmesumhair]

I use Ultra Black Hair Deep Conditioner and I use protein twice a week.

 

[SouthernTease]

I pre-co-wash with MNT daily,
I DC with Miss Key 10 en 1 twice a week
and then if I see breakage I use
a heavier protein like Apoghee like once a month.

 

[Mook's hair]

I was using Infusium and ORS replenishing weekly but I had to stop.
My hair was getting brittle.

 

[Melojoy]

I use ORS paks at least monthly or so. I use a protein conditioner weekly. They smell so good. I especially do this after relaxing.

 

[Wildchild453]

I use Aphogee Intensive Two-Minute Keratin Reconstructor as a prepoo every week

 

[CAPlush]

I have recently upgraded to using Aveda DR treatment at each wash (every 4-5 days).

 

[wheezy807]

I use AtOne Reconstructor conditioner once a week.

 

[ChocalateDiva]

I use Cathy Howse's UBH Conditioner weekly and follow up with a DC of Keracare Humecto and my hair loves it. It feel so strong and moistured.
