I needed that, cheers!!!

Honey, aloe, milk, yogurt, eggs, silk, nuts, ....... These can also be protein ingredients.

I actually looked up protein treatments, the best one is called ApHogee keratin 2 minute reconstructor (AMAZING!). I use this weekly, then every 6 weeks i use ApHogee 2 step protein treatment ( HIGHLY RECOMMEND!😍). I use a moisterising shamppo and conditioner - ausie brand, and ogx hair oil to keep the moisture and protein balance. My hair is so healthy now and have tighter curls! 🥰🥰🥰

I'm new to this, but the Woman to Woman spray doesn't mention any of the ingredients you have listed. A lot of oils though which would weigh down my fine and thin hair. Any other leave in /refresh suggestions? Can I dilute a protein/moisture deep conditioner with water and put it in a mister?

I'm still putting that video together but if water is beading up on your hair its likely normal or low porosity. Also, does it take a long time to dry. If yes=low porosity if no=high porosity! Also, have you clarified recently? Sometimes buildup/hard water build up can act the same way!

@Sarah beyler I have the same thing with a really dry scalp

Cute dog by the way! Really cute

Its not easy getting to the bottom of our hair needs. I've found that when my hair is super moisturized like borderline too much it lays flatter. Also when I have too much product. But that could also be from product build up. Do you ever clarify your hair? I personally find it important to do once a month or so to ensure my hair is free of other products and essentially a clean slate.

@@JannelleOShaughnessyThank you for replying. I honestly don't strictly co-wash only, once a week I use a sulfate free shampoo. But every now and then, like once every 4-6 weeks I admit I do use a shampoo with sulfate, just to make sure. But there might be something to what you say maybe the products I use are too much or too heavy for me. I use Shea Moisture products and someone did say something like that once before to me. Hmm, I'll have to try something else to know the difference, right?

Mon Soymon I’ll bet it’s the Shea butter! Shea is so heavy, it weighs my hair down like crazy even when only using a small amount! Check out my last video on my favorite products, all are really lightweight!!! ❤️❤️❤️

@@JannelleOShaughnessy Thanks. I'm going to have a look at that. I just have to try different things, like I said in the beginning I just bought a whole bunch of products without even thinking about ingredients

Grace Brozka same here!!! My hair was blonde and the blonde is all gone and I’m still struggling with my curls. I have 2c/3a hair and my hair has not been curling and it’s been brittle and dry. I’ve just learned I have low porosity hair and I’m so glad I’ve found her!

So welcome!

Hmm...cutting bangs and/or layers?

ALso, I just ordered the W2W leave-in! :)

Jannelle O'Shaughnessy Engels FRIZZ!!

What to use if you need moisture instead of protein?

I DO have a refresh tutorial! It’s one of my first videos! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/iJ59nqeKzdPSYIE.html

Mine too

If your interested in figuring out your curl pattern you should research and try out the curly girl method. I'm shocked only a month and a week in and my curls have sprung up so much. I literally cant wait to see how much curlier my hair will become. I thought I had frizzy wavey curls my whole life, meanwhile I'm now sporting a head full of ringlets. It's hard for curls to clump and appear in your hair when we are using harsh shampoos, conditioners and products. They just coat our hair weigh it down and cause curls to turn to friz. Also heat and curls dont mix flat irons blow drying and over manipulating the hair can also cause you to loose curl pattern. Anyways I hope this helps. You might be sitting right now with the hair of your dreams and not even know it.

@@rachellep2581 lol, I've actually been on the curly girl method for several months now. I think I started about a month or so after I posted this. My hair gets really curly now and I don't use any heat styling unless absolutely necessary (and in that case, I use heat protectant). It's really great! :)

@@suzylove6502 yay!, im so happy to hear this. I had a feeling you were curly lol. Also their are allot of rules with the CGM as you know. I wanted to mention that if your scalp gets itchy or doesnt feel clean. Then I recommend you using a sulfate shampoo once a month and follow with a deep conditioner. I am a hairstylist and the only thing I see wrong with the CGM is that hair flurishes while scalp goes to hell with build up. Our scalp is getting too much oil, product and moisture. This in end causes blocked hair follicules that equal hair loss 😱. In my experience my scalp went crazy third week in. I tried vinegar rinse and etc nothing natural worked. I feel allot of people are putting up with scalp issues because their hair looks good and they dont want to break any rules. However a unhealthy scalp equals unhealthy hair. In end it is so uncomfortable is itchy and has bumps. This is just the beginning of a bad thing and it will effect your hair and how it looks with time. I Hope this helps I was really hesitant to use sulfate again then I remembered everything I was taught about scalp health in school. I washed with it and instantly felt better, I had no itch. Also those weird sore bumps dried and disappeared so fast. I havent had scalp problems scense thankfully 🙌🏼😊

You might know all of this. I just wanted to put it out there because I have been reading about scalp problems everywhere with the CGM. I dont want people to get discouraged or the wrong ideas and give up on their curly health lol it's all about balance🤗

elizhope I agree! Those curls are amazing! 😍

Dang! More ringlets than ever before!! I wanna know, too, if it’s a new product or more frequent protein trtmnts? What’s the scoop?

I wanna know too! Prettiest hair we've ever seen on you! Also, I love love love your more natural makeup. You are naturally beautiful and sometimes your deep colored eyeshadows are distracting.

Me too!!! Gorgeous!!!

Yeees 😍😍😍

Nicole Sweiss all you need to do is see where on the ingredients list the protein is. If it's in the first few lines, it's high in protein, if it's in the middle of the list, it's medium. Any lower than that, it's relatively low.

Livi nailed it! Where they are located on the ingredient list and also if there is more than one protein listed is the best guide!

Jannelle O'Shaughnessy Engels I didn't even think about more than 1 protein being listed, good point!

It’s been considered 😂

I am all for DIY!

Ive heard henna does wonders for curls! What made you switch?!

I wanted a lighter red and of course it only deposits color and it was getting quite dark but very pretty. I'm 45 and really pale and it left me looking a bit harsh. So thickening and curl enhancing though. I used Light Mountain Henna off Amazon and loved it. So inexpensive too!

Tammie Hammett ahhh that makes sense! I’ve considered trying it for the thickening benefits! Especially in the winter! How long before you noticed fading?

This stuff does NOT fade. It has to grow out. I used it almost a year monthly because it made it so thick. So good for your hair if you do well with protein. It's a time consuming process though but if you're always freaked at putting chemicals on your head this is a wonderful option.

Tammie Hammett I’ve hesitated because I am a lazy curly and because I love my grays lol. Kind of glad now knowing I’d have to grow it out. What a wonderful option though!!!!

Less definition, curls or stretched out more then normal!

Olaplex doesn't technically have protein, it has aloe which contains amino acids. I give a disclaimer regarding olaplaex and protein because amino acids/aloe behave like most proteins for many curlies. And if you get technical are kind of a protein in themselves but thats another story. The aloe is very low on the ingredient list but because it is not a conditioning treatment the signs are more obvious to show up. I will be pinning a quick protein guide to the top of the comments shortly because i got that question a few times. Take a look when you can!

So Olaplex has to be use no that often? I have the professional kit so I use #1 and #2 weekly. I just bleach my hair it snaps very easy so I need is moisture right? Any suggestions? Thanks

THANK YOU!!!

rice water rinse??

Heidi Farr is it the yogurt & honey one?

same 😒

We Are Legion I haven’t personally tried it but have heard excellent things as well. I tend to lean towards the lazier side of hair care 😂 so getting to diys doesn’t always happen

@We Are Legion - I just did one yesterday! I've never done a protein mask and have spent so many years trying to avoid protein so it took me AGES to understand that my hair was over conditioned. It felt so soft and smooth, which are words many natural curlies use as words to describe their goals when they have coarse and high porosity hair. My hair was badly needing protein so I used a whole packet of unflavored gelatin (ended up being about 1 3/4 TBS) in about a cup of distilled water with 1/2 tap of apple cider vinegar. Squirted it on damp clarified hair with the moisture squeezed out, applying in sections. Just dribbled it on in cooled liquid form because I couldn't wait longer. Left it on just a few minutes, maybe 3-4. Never felt particularly hard but felt almost waxy or slightly straw-like but rinsed out pretty easily. Used Deva One Condition to co-wash the ends and left it on as a normal condish, not a deep condish. Styled as usual with a leave-in with protein I only use sometimes, but no additional protein. Curls are much healthier, firmer, a bit tighter, curling further up the shaft, and the frizz looks more even around my hair in a good-for-volume kind of way rather than a hair-is-shattered-all-over type way. Most importantly my curls definitely stayed stronger all day, and sort of lasted overnight. Will try a treatment again in a few weeks to see how it helps! Now I know the signs of over conditioning and have learned the importance of researching the same topic in lots of different settings because there really are so many different curly needs and approaches that it might take you hearing the same idea in lot of different contexts to fully understand what your situation may be.
