This is one of your best wash days I've seen. I find that my hair is similar in texture and density to yours but mine is drier and a bit more prone to frizz because of my grey hairs. I was being sparing with the protein, just doing light rice water treatments a couple times a month. However, I'm noticing that my hair looks so good after I do a gelatin treatment that I may need more protein more often for my hair to look shiny and curl up better. Anyway your hair looks awesome in this video.

@l.eggers52615 жыл бұрын
Thanks for this video. Only a couple weeks into CG my hair began getting mushy (which surprised me, as my hair is now short & virgin and I only ever air dry). Guess my hair is very high porosity. I tried neutral protein filler because it was cheap and not only did it immediately fix the mush but my 2a-b (with some 1 strands) perked up to 2c all over with a few 3a curls mixed in. Wowza. I never expected full on curls.
@l.eggers52615 жыл бұрын
Also fwiw, I tried the few drops first but it wasn't enough, then a 50/50 water mix sprayed lightly on damp hair and left it overnight. Still not enough for me. Ended up dousing my hair in it straight in the shower and leaving it for 5min before rinsing. THAT was enough, maybe borderline too much but levelled out in 24 hours. I find my hair isn't getting as greasy feeling as the roots since as well.

I appreciate this video. Very helpful. I have a practical question for you. I won't truly jump into CG method until after nursing school graduation at the end of July, but when I do, I wanted to know a couple of things. I will get the book, I promise. I currently work as a paramedic in the emergency room, and I exercise. What do YOU do when you need to pull your hair up? How and with what do you put your hair up with? I run the entire 12 hour shift and have to put my hair up, because it is very long and pretty heavy. So, if you have to put your hair up, how do you save the waves/curls? Is there a way to sort of "reset" them after you have had to wear your hair up? Will it be okay to wash more on a daily basis? I am not sure what to expect when not using the normal shampoo/conditioner method daily as I do now. I know you are busy, and I always appreciate you taking the time to answer. Thanks so much. :o)

So I tried your gelatine protein treatment yesterday, I did a terrible job of it was very lumpy etc but I did notice my curls were back. Unfortunately, they’ve dropped again today and I’ve tried refreshing with water and gel just with praying hands method with little success. I do think I need more protein so I’m planning to get some products.

My conditioner doesn't, my mousse doesn't and I have one leave in that doesn't. My first line up didn't work so well for me and I returned a bunch of stuff and swapped. I think maybe my hair was too weighed down and too moisturized with the first set of products. My hair likes the new set but now I'm wondering if I need a few things to swap out so that I'm not using so many things with protein every single time I wash??

Why does everyone shop online these days? You have to pay for the product and then extra for shipping so won't you end up paying MORE than you would have if you bought it in store? Perhaps there's something that I'm missing??? 🤷🏼 I'm 35 and I've never bought anything off the internet before....
