Proteins vs. Polymetrics Conditioners

[moneychaser]

Hmm.. Found this on another site. This may be the reason why it is safe to use Emergencee weekly. Does anyone know the difference between polymetric and protein conditioners??

"Nexxus Emergencee is not PROTEIN treatment like Ouidad, Redken Deep Fuel, or even Keraphix. (The ingredients are not the same.) It's a Polymeric treatment, which bonds hair together and preserves and promotes elasticity. (Proteins usually just ""fill up" spaces in the hair.) That said, after trying emergencee, it really works great to restrengthen the hair, but the results are different from protein treatments. I think those of us with serious hair repair work in front of us would benefit from alternating between protein and polymerics. "

Interesting

Very much so, this is why I use DRC-28 and Penetraitt together. I use the DRC to fill in the spaces then the Penetraitt to act as a Polymetric to coat/bond the hair.

Thanks for the update...I tried Emergencee for the first time last night and I liked it very much. I will try your suggestion and alternate between Emergencee and Keraphix to see how my hair responds.

So do you mix the two together or do you use them back to back??

 

[auntybe]

Thanks for explaining. I'm def. going to get some Emergencee now.

 

[sengschick]

Thx Denali, great info!

 

[Cleo]

Thanks Denali ...I just used Emergencee this weekend.

 

[Babygurl]

So what would be more examples of polymetric conditioners?

Yes, the polymers in Emergencee actually wrap little fibers around the hair to keep it protected and in tact. Proteins penetrate and "fill in" as you said.

I think a clear rinse would be similar to a polymeric conditioner.

A clear rinse? Something like a Colourshine treatment?

[hotshot]

very very interesting. i wonder if this is how kerastase age recharge works.

 

[foxybronx]

This might seem nuts, but since my hair has been thinning due to a bad perm can I use Sebastian penetrait, rinse out, use emergencee, rinse out, and then use a moisturizing? Or is this wwaaayyy to much protein.

That's overkill, IMO.

[Healthb4Length]

I did an Emergencee treatment last night and was pleasantly surprized.

 

[cutebajangirl]

Sorry I missed this. I use them back to back and follow up with Biolage Ultrahydrating Conditioner or Lafier Lanolina Rinse. Both moisturize and hydrate my hair really well post protein tx.

 

[moneychaser]

Thanks Cutebajan!!

 

[lunalight7]

Clear rinse, huh? Perhaps that's why my hair was the bomb after getting my rinse a few weeks ago. Ultra shiny and healthy looking.

 

[moneychaser]

bumping for Britt /images/graemlins/grin.gif

 

[Britt]

Thanks /images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Healthb4Length]

I'd love to do the DRC and the Penetraiit but I can never seem to find either of these products anywhere.

 

[kitchen_tician]

Thanks for this info Denali03!!! /images/graemlins/wink.gif

 

[Dare~to~Dream]

Besides a clear rinse, Penetrait, and Emergencee are there any other conditioners that would be similar [polymeric]?

 

[Britt]

I just got my bottle of Penetrait today can't wait to use it this weekend /images/graemlins/weird.gif

 

[Blacktresses]

With that state and said....

What are the real protein products and what are the polymetrics conditioners ???

Supergirl ( the protein queen ) what do you think ???

 

[lunalight7]

Thanx for bumping this up Denali....so which is best to use before a chemical? Protein or polymetric> Which category does Bone Marrow condit. fit into?

 

[moneychaser]

Well since relaxers break down the protein bonds in hair, I always do a protein treatment a week after touch-ups. As for color, I do a protein treatment before for filling due to porosity.

 

[lunalight7]

Thanx Denali...that means I'm on the right track!

Anyone know about Bone Marrow?
