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

[Newtogrow]

Cantu leave in conditioner- makes my curls pop.

 

[Lexib]

I DC with protein every week, followed by a moisturising conditioner. I switch b/w ORS Replenishing Packs and their Hair Mayo. Every month or so I use Emergencee.

Nexxus Keraphix

 

[Qetesh]

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?

i dont know if i am reading this right but you used nexxus emergence then shampooed and then conditioned after (deep condition with keracare?) i would suggest you try deep conditioning again.i use nexxus often followed by the sarlem weat germ deep conditioner and i never had an issue with it, i do use emergence as suggested on the bottle and do not use it under the dryer. if deep conditioning doesnt work i suggest clarifying with ACV and deep conditioning again, this always balances my hair.


ohh and regarding this poll. i use a deeper nexxus emergence protein treatment every month. I also use a light protein condish once a week, or every 2 weeks Flexx moisturizing condish

I'm doing my 1st protien treatment, using ion Effective Care Treatment. I'm posting 'cause I am sooooo sleepy.

CAN I SLEEP ON THIS? Is it safe?

i have never used Ion effective care, but i wouldnt leave a protein treatment in my hair overnight...its jus too likely to make your hair dry esp when u are not going to be putting any moisture to it for over 6 hours...erplexed

 

[Ivonnovi]

Okay! Then I'm off to the shower, and will moisturize afterwards.
Thank you for the quick response!!!

[naturalgurl]

I use egg whites with natural yogurt. Makes the hair strong and soft, I love it and so does my greedy hair!

 

[Maxhug]

Aubrey GPB every 2 weeks.

 

[Aggie]

I use either aphoge 2 minute reconstructor or AtOne reconstructor or CON reconstructor once per week to once every 2 weeks depending on how my hair is behaving.

 

[chebaby]

im thinking my hair does not like protein. so i rarely do it but my hair loves moisture. i used joiko k pak and my hair felt different in a bad way

 

[MiWay]

Aubrey Organics GPB weekly.

 

[_belle]

everytime I DC (2-3x a week). . . i would say that I do both. my light protein is the ORS condish & my moisture is my cholestoral and all the other jazz i put in it. im lookin for a new heavy protein tho, currently using aphogee, thinkin about tryin nexxus emergencee

Paul Mitchell’s Hair Repair Treatment states that it’s “suitable for frequent use”. As long as you follow their recommendation and leave the treatment on for 1 to 5 minutes, you should be okay using it weekly. I’ve noticed that my hair gets hard if I leave it on longer than recommended.

Weekly Protein Conditioner: Cathy Howse Protein Deep Conditioner
Monthly Protein Treatment: Aphogee 2 Step Protein Treatment

This is the best thing along with daily moisturizing, that has helped my hair. I was looking at the strands of my hair yesterday and could not believe how THICK and dark my strands are. It was like looking at smooth tree trunks! Now if only I could get a good non-greasy shine going.

 

[Mertzy]

aphogee 2 min. I am about to start using Nexxus Emergencee

 

[chebaby]

im thinking my hair does not like protein. so i rarely do it but my hair loves moisture. i used joiko k pak and my hair felt different in a bad way

hhahahahah ok i obviously didnt know my hair back then. i ended up LOVING joico k pak deep penetraiting reconstructor nad wa using it once a week when i was relaxed.
now that im natural i usually either use AO gpb once a week or i pre poo on dry hair for 30 minutes with ORS mayo.

 

[tempted2cutt9]

I use Aphogee Keratin & Green Tea along with my leave twice a week...my hair loves protein...my breakage stopped about 2 days after i started using protein

 

[IDareT'sHair]

I Voted Weekly. I am currently using Mega-Tek, (scalp only) so I try to minimize the use of alot of protein treatments. When I do use Protein Treatments, it is either Joico K-Pak, Nexxus Emergencee, Nexxus Keraphix, AO GPB, Giovanni Nutra-Fix, Sebastians Penetraitt, Tigi Dumb Blonde, SheScentIt Fortifying Mask or Treasurers Perfect Blend.

But I always, always, always DC with Moisture after the Application of any Protein Treatment.

 

[Daisimae]

I did a protein treatment with my wash tonight. I mixed Aphogee 2-minute with a capful of Jherri Redding Natural Protein and some Nexxus Phyto Humectin. After this I DC'd with ORS Replenishing mixed with Silicon Mix. My hair came out a little hard, but my leave-ins took care of that.

After this I had very little shedding and no breakage.

 

[mkd]

I have been using an egg mixed in with a conditioner once a week. I love the results. I can see my hair getting stronger with continued use.

 

[Galadriel]

I use protein about once a week. I have in my arsenal Keraphix, Joico K-pak, and Aphogee 2 min. Reconstructor.

I KNOW my hair really needed protein when I apply it, then after rinsing, my hair feels strong and smooth without any mushiness (and without any feeling of "protein overload").

I use protein condishes/treatments this frequently b/c I do moisturizing co-washes and baggy my whole head overnight once or twice a week.

 

[Lyoness]

I use MOP Extreme Protein treatment weekly.. Its really helping my damaged spot. Once that area matches the rest of my texture again I'll more than likely stick with it.

 

[Starronda]

I use protein once a week followed by a moisturizing DC.
Mega Tek on hair and scalp
Joico K- Pak
Nexxus Emergencee
ORS Replenishing

 

[LaBelleLL]

RabiaElaine,
I use a mild one: Aphogee 2 minute Reconstructor.

 

[LovinLocks]

Umm, the one with peppermint EO by the woman from Colorado. Shucks, can't think of her, oh wait UBB, or UBH, Ultimate Black Hair and she has the book out about growing long hair. http://www.ubhpublications.com/ Oh, Cathy Howse's product for deep condish.

 

[heyfranz]

Affirm 5 in 1 weekly followed by a moisturizing DC. I use henna once a month so on that week i don't use the protein.

 

[chocolatethai]

my hair likes protein so i use it once a week i'll usually apply aphogee 2 min or nexuss keraphix right after i shampoo and then i keep it on till i'm done in the shower then i rinse it out and DC with moisture, i also use a protein spray as a leave in after every shampoo chi keratin mist

 

[beans4reezy]

I use protein condishes/treatments this frequently b/c I do moisturizing co-washes and baggy my whole head overnight once or twice a week.

Same here. I cowash at least three times a week and will baggy my whole head with conditioner once a week. I use Aphogee 2 min Keratin to give my hair a shot of protien during the week. I haven't seen any breakage, so I'm good

 

[baddison]

I use a MILD protein once per week. Every wednesday is PRotein day. Either Giovanni Smooth as Silk shampoo & condish. Or ApHogee shampoo & 2min reconstructor. Or Joico KPak shampoo & reconstructor. Or Mizani Renew Stength shampoo & reconstructing masque. I realize that my chemically relaxed hair needs protein on a regular basis to remain strong & healty. My regimen also includes every saturday as my deep moisture day....so....I'm quite balanced.
