Light Protein and Heavy Protein Recommendations Needed. . .

[Belle Du Jour]

I'm a newbie here, and the light bulb went off as I was perusing the threads. What's missing from my routine is protein! I do a protein treatment sporadically with Aphogee, but since my hair is perm colored (and I use heat once a month or every 2 months) I prolly need a regular routine that includes a light protein treatment about 2 times a month and a heavy protein treatment once a month.

I think everything else in my routine is good, and that the protein just might make the difference in retaining more length.

Can you guys recommend both a heavy and light protein conditioner?
Merci Beaucoup.

I find that a great light protein for me is milk protein. I can use this daily and it makes my hair feel quite good. Suave Citrus Smoothie is a cheap conditioner that has lots of milk protein in it, as is Suave Milk and Honey.

How do you know if you need a protein treatment??

...when you want to stop and prevent breakage, split ends, and shedding...and also to strengthen the hair cuticle.

Me too! I even mix them together.

 

[melodee]

For some reason Emergencee isn't heavy enough for me. I prefer Aphogee.

GPb is wonderful!

Same with me. For light protein I like Motions Silk Protein or Keraphix

Thanks this thread is very informative: I've been meaning to add some protein to my regimen.

Okkkaaaay...after reading this....

I was going to stray to Nexxus Emergencee...but after seeing BabyGurl and Chicomorena...I'm gonna stick with my tried and true Aphoghee...I'll try adding that Elasta QP Serum with the Aphoghee treatment.

I wonder if I could mix it with the Affirm 5n1, I have a bottle in my stash before I go buying anything else...

I never got around to buying the Aubrey's GPB because I had some leftover Elasta QP Intense (with silk protein) and some Aphogee Intense Reconstructor (with Keratin, but NOT the stinky protein treatment. So far, I'm loving the EQP Intense as a light treatment. It smells great, and it's inexpensive. I may not need a heavy treatment as often as I though since I'm natural.

Since I've used Emergencee in the past with great results, though, that will be my heavy treatment of choice.
