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

[MuslimahTresses]

I use Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor once a week but I think I need something stronger or I should stop deep conditioning afterwards becasue I still get breakage.

 

[KnottyGurl]

I use Salerm Protein Conditioner at least once per week.

 

[bluerose17]

Lately I've been using UBH deep conditioner weekly followed by a moisturizing conditioner (Nexxus Humectress).

 

[cocoa32]

this is a great thread!

I didn't vote because I'm still working on my regimen. I've never done a heavy protein treatment, but I'm going to try Emergencee on my next shampoo and then weekly use either Nexxus Enphuse, Motions CPR or Aphogee 2 min. reconstructor. Hopefully this will help with the strength of my hair.

 

[remnant]

I use affirm 5 in 1 reconstructor every other week!

 

[Empress Yahudah]

I use protien weekly I alternate between Mega Tek and Miss Key SUPER 10 en 1... on relaxer day i use Lamaur Bone marrow.. I always follow up with a moister deep conditioner after my protien conditioner.

 

[deejoy]

I use Aphogee 2 minute weekly.

 

[RosesBlack]

I've only recently in the past couple of months started using weekly protein.

Usually I will drop an egg in with my Ors Replenishing paks along with a few squirts of oil. I do an avocado mask once a month.

So far I've seen a real difference as to breaking and ease of combing. Someone suggested protein to me in my fotki and I haven't stopped.

 

[Seeking8Rights]

I use ORS Hair Mayo

 

[sharonf45]

I use Aubrey gpb weekly

 

[CoffeeBean]

I prepoo every week w/ Aphogee 2 min reconstructor (for longer than 2 min). I have so much volume when I do.

 

[Missi]

Since I use Keracare: its a moisturizing line so I have do protein weekly: i use Ultra Black Hair Deep Conditioner

 

[beana]

I alternate between aveda Dr conditoner and treatment weekly... every 4-8 weeks i use aphogee treatment. This method keeps my fine hair strong and resistant to breakage.

 

[ms*x]

I prepoo every week w/ Aphogee 2 min reconstructor (for longer than 2 min). I have so much volume when I do.

i was using mine in the shower for the 5 minutes, but i think i'll try this!!!

thanks for the hookup!

 

[queenbee8687]

I was thinking of adding more protein to regime. This thread is quite helpful as i only use protein when i relax which is every 3 months and sometimes even more. I think i'll start using Motions CPR every week and Aphrogee 2 minute reconstructor every month or this Aveda whatever is cheap!!I'm a student on a budget.

Thanks everyone for the information.

 

[Lady Esquire]

Not weekly. I do the intense Aphogee one week after a relaxer. Then I do light proteins, when I feel the hair needs it, which is ever 2 weeks or so. I have noticed, though, that as I stretch longer, my hair needs more protein. So in the later weeks of the stretch, I prepoo with Hair Mayo, cholesterol, or the ORS replenishing pak, more frequently. Also, the Aphogee Two Minute Reconstructor is my trusty light protein. I used to use Motions CPR, but the grains in my hair have turned me off from it. If I am low on prods, I will use Motions reconstructor, which also gives nice results.

 

[ItsyBitsy]

I use Aveda DR conditoner & treatment about 1-2 times a month or Aubrey's GPB as a pre poo treatment as needed.

 

[map77]

I recently used a Nexxus protein treatment after I removed my weave and since this time my hair is more difficult to comb and is not as soft. This is the first time I have used a deep protein treatment...I'm not sure what went wrong because I used shampoo and conditioner after the treatment (keracare). I shampoo and conditioned my hair three days later, but hair hair has not felt the same since. Anyone have any advice on what I should do?

 

[MariposaSexyGirl]

I have to do protein once every two weeks since my hair doesn't seem to like alot of protein. I will use ORS replenishing pack every two weeks. Every six weeks and I prepoo with Keraphix or Motions cpr in the bottle. And I use the last two after a relaxer.

 

[ChoxlatChix]

I use my Elasta QP breakage control serum every single week. It makes a heck of a difference too.

 

[neonbright]

I use a lite protein evey two week. Aphogee 2 minute, then I use a double up moisture conditioner. If I don't then it will be too hard without the moisture conditioner, this seems to be working so far for my thin mix relax hair, it is doing great.

 

[newflowers]

Once a week, I make a protein cocktail (I love buying and mixing the ingredients) comprised mostly of silk proteins and amino acids. My hair is really happy with the mixture. The week before a relaxer, I do the same and add apHogee.

 

[Evazhair]

I didn't vote on poll because I am still finding a schedule for treatments. With each touchup, I use Affirm 5 in 1.
In between, I use a mild protein as needed, The past two months I have been using one every 3 or 4 weeks in between touchups. My leave ins contain protein: silicon mix or lacio lacio. For treatments, I use Miss Key, 12 en 1, praital silk worm, and last week used Biolage Cera Repair Hydratherapie and 12 en 1 with good results.

ETA My hair likes collagen, wheat protein and ceramides

 

[bbdgirl]

i am still trying to find a routine concerning Protein. I use it when I notice that my hair is to mushy and weak. so far it looks like every 2 weeks. But to et optimal results I have to follow up with moisture.
I use Profectiv or ORS hair mayo. I ApHogee 2 step protein treatment, I think I will use that next time I wash my hair.

 

[aloof one]

I use ION Effective Care Treatment and have promised myself to use it once a week (or every other week depending on how my hair feels)

It feels nice and thick and is easy to distribute and I don't lose nearly as much hair after I've rinsed it out. It could be that my hair is healthier after a trim and a lot of DCing... but it seems like this stuff was what made the difference. Its pretty much a medium protein treatment I think.

Has anybody tried this?

 

[HoneyA]

I've noticed that my hair needs moisture more than protein so I do treatments every 6-8 weeks. I use Jherri Redding or Motions CPR for the light ones.

 

[KinksnCurlz]

Aubrey Organics GPB

 

[Empress Yahudah]

I use protien weekly I alternate between Mega Tek and Miss Key SUPER 10 en 1... on relaxer day i use Lamaur Bone marrow.. I always follow up with a moister deep conditioner after my protien conditioner.

Since then now I no longer have the need to use protein weekly.
I still use Mega Tek but thats it and I only use that now every month or so and relaxer day

 

[tocktick]

I alternate my protein and moisture treatments...I wash my hair twice per week...so I'll use a moisturizing conditioner after the first wash and the next wash Ill use protein, I usually use something mild (Elasta QP Breakage Control Serum) unless its around relaxer time then Ill use a reconstructor. I believe this helps keep my moisture/protein balance in check.

i try to do the bold also (i switch between them every week though). however, i dc once a week with dark & lovely cholesterol in addition to that. i henna once every 1-3 months (not 100% sure if this constitutes to protein though).

 

[SmartyPants]

I relax every six weeks...

Week 1: Queen Helene
Week 2: Queen Helene
Week 3: Emergencee
Week 4: Queen Helene
Week 5: Queen Helene
Week 6: Aphogee (week before relaxer)

I follow all of these up with a 1 hour Nexxus Humectress treatment.
