I've watched several videos on protein/moisture and just never quite understood. I finally feel like I get it! The pictures of your hair alongside the middle balance in the video itself really helped too, the descriptions a lot of other people give just don't mean much to me, and even a random example picture of someone's hair just looks like their hair unless it's the *same hair* in a different state, at least to me. I need the comparison to understand what is meant by the soft stretched curls and the dry frizzier ones. Thank you!

I may be asking for a lot but it would be great if you could recommend products for every step in a 'normal' routine that are high protein and products that are high moisture. It seems like whenever I check the ingredients, they're either all moisturising or have a few proteins scattered throughout

I'm soooo happy I found your channel! I have the exact same hair story as you. My hair gets really curly when it is wet and first dries, but as time goes on, it goes limp. And my curls don't have any bounce back anymore! If you pull them, they stay stretched out. My hair has been lightened sooooo much in the last year before I started taking care of it and I think this is probably where it went wrong. I find that moisturizing products make my hair less and less curly and I never really knew why. I can't wait to try a gelatin treatment! Thank you for such detailed info!

I am currently dealing with overmoisture and I finally found a treatment packed of protein here in my country (has 2 on the first five ingredients and also scattered throughout the formulation). But I tested my hair first with rice water and I got ringlets right away. I did that 3 times and the frizz was reduced. I have been a curlie for over 10 years and never had this issue (I'm also postpartum, that can add to the changes in my hair too). Can't wait to try the treatment this weekend 👌🏽

This is so interesting and you explained it so clear! I’m so happy to finally understand. Now I’m wondering if one should adjust the protein/moisture balance with the seasons.

What about clarifying as on resetting your hair? Clarifying is highly recommended to do whenever an overload occurs. And then you follow up with an opposite treatment - if over moisturised, use protein treatment; if protein overload, use moisturising treatment. I find that I achieve most balance when using moisturising shampoo, conditioner and leave in and styling products with protein or having both. And then the last step a styler (gel or mousse) without glycerin.

Sooo I think I have a protein overload as it breaks easily and very frizzy on the top layers. It can also feel straw like at times. The under layers of my hair are shiny and bouncy but I just can’t get the top layers the same! I have low porosity fine hair, so I’ve been trying to get moisture into my hair but a few hours after I’ve diffused and SOTC my definition goes! Help please, do you still think this is a protein overload?
@hanzcurls3 жыл бұрын
It may not be protein overload, it could just be that the top section of your hair is just very dry. Try clarifying your hair, deep conditioning that section only and really squishing the water into your hair when conditioning - have a watch of my frizzy video and winter hair care video for more tips on adding moisture. My hair is the opposite way, so the underneath needs more moisture than the top

I would say try not to leave conditioner on your hair overnight as this can lead to moisture overload. If your hair is fine it’s likely you’ll need more protein, so try and pull back on the moisture (condition for less time, use less moisturising products) and use more protein x

Question!? So my bottom layer and top layer are different! The bottom is softer, lacks elasticity, and doesn’t hold well, but seems properly moisturized. The top layer is much curlier but is drier and higher porosity but hold much better. If I use a protein treatment just on the bottom, will that help it become more like the top?
