ReplyDelete"hi kbk,
ReplyDeletehow are you? i enjoyed your post on breakage, shedding,pre and post relaxer prep. Errr, i just begun my heathy hair journey (september7 2012 precisely). I did a protein treatment after my relaxer process on the above date after then i did a lot of moisturizing, baggying, green house effect. I was so scared of doing a protein treatment bcos of protein overload. I didnt like the way my hair was feeling. It was stretchy and shedding a lot. I then remembered your post about strand test'....i tested my strands and they stretched a lot before snapping and boom! I took the bold step and did a protein treatment today.my hair wasnt hard at all after i rinsed off my eggs and olive oil mix. I just love how my hair feels right now.many ppl dont know that there's something like overmoisturizing''.
My question is that, how often do you think i should do a protein treatment? Do you think my hair prefers protein to moisture?
Thanks a bunch and sorry for the epistle! I'm very poor @ expressing myself..
Stay blessed!"
Hiya Lolade,
ReplyDeleteI do my protein treatments about every 6 weeks or during my relaxer process (I have a post on my blog about that) but just to be on the safe side I play it by ear. When my hair feels tooo stretchy/mushy, I test it before I put protein. In terms of what your hair prefers, other factors like your diet, how often you relax (if you are relaxed), your hair care routine and how your hair is feeling that day would play a part on which you will need more. So I would focus on "listening" to your hair's feelings, some natural girls don't need protein treatments and if you are relaxed the frequency with which you relax will also play a part in how often you will need moisture! Hope That Helps.
Hello K.B.K.
ReplyDeleteSo I did what I was ordered to do ;-) I have 100% natural hair. I alternate between weaves, braids and wearing my natural hair out. When I am natural I try to stick to a LOC regimen with a deep condition(Ms. Jessie's hair recovery)/masque (Shea Moisture) every two weeks but I have to honest and say that I am not always on top of it and move on to the next weave. I did the Porosity test. I have low porosity. I notice that my hair responds well to deep conditioning treatment when I sit under a steamer with the conditioner. I think I did the Elasticity test properly and I seem to not have a problem there. Don't know much about the breakage but I do know that relaxed or natural, my hair tends to fall on the edges. So what can you do or recommend that is quick and easy for a clueless, and quite honestly, lazy naturalist?
Hiya Oyinda, I will e-mail you a list so you can set up your package.
