Moisturizer and Protein

[princessdi]

Calling all sisters who have hair like me that needs moisture, moisture, moisture, but also protein too. What do you use on a daily basis and as an overnight treatment? I need to strengthen my hair bad!!!! It's fine when dry but breaks excessively when wet and just by finger combing.

Help!!

Well, I personally love Motions Lavish Conditioning Shampoo because it imparts both moisture and protein (silk and keratin) to the hair. After using the Chi Infra Shampoo and Treatment for the first time on Monday, I also like that as well because it does the same thing.

As for a daily basis, Chi Silk Infusion Reconstructing Complex reconstructs the strands of the hair and makes it stronger and softer. It also leaves a very nice shine in the hair.

Profectiv breakfree has a good protein amount for daily use.

but usually when i am breaking like that a nice protein treatment will do-such as nexxus emergencee, duo-tex, or essations hair mender.

right now i am using suave smoothie conditiner, it has milk protein pretty high on the list and it gives my hair puuuurfect protein/moisture daily balance.

I'm currently using Cantu Breakcure. However, I think it's building up a little on my hair since it contains a 'cone (I might just be using too much, though, LOL). I may try Africa's Best Organics Carrot Oil next time around. I like the ingredients, even if they don't include actual carrot oil.

I have a similar problem. My hair needs much moisture. Im one of the girls that kept a DRY JERHI CURL LOL...I even tried to put lotion in the curl to keep it wet..N E WAY

Regime

1. I spray a little Scurl on my hands and massage it through everyday to every other day( if your going for a dry look)

if your hair is in a pony you can put it spray it on the scalp go easy though and massage it through.

2. Seal with WGO or MTG (whatever you choose& tie it up)

3. I wash & condition weekly..protein every other week I use cassia or Emergencee.

Believe me Cassia made my hair stronger than Emergencee.. Your hair will not break so easy.

Also eating sardines and Tuna seems to have helped

Thanks Ladies. I am planning to try the Mizani night-time treatment and also the carrot oil. Is the Mizani an oily substance or more of a cream? Also, does the the carrot oil come in a cream like ORS Olive Oil or is it only in the oil form?

I've been putting more protein in my diet lately. Sometimes I also shampoo with MNT for protein and Creame of Nature afterward for moisture (that's rare through, because usually I'm too lazy).

I've thrown most of my moisturizers away. It seemed the moisturizers I had (carrot oil, castor oil, silk elements leave in) all left my hair dry about an hour after application. I've learned the best moisturizer for my hair is simply water and EVOO in a spray bottle. Who knew?
