Top Protein free or low protein hair conditioners

Some people feel their hair is protein sensitive. Therefore they try to afford protein in their hair care products. If you use a hard protein treatment on your hair such as the aphogee 2 step treatment. Then you should watch the amount of protein in your other hair products. Doing so will keep you from creating a build up of protein on your hair. 

Think you have protein overload?

No problem!

Good deep cleansing shampoos: Shea Moisture Black soap shampoo, Jane Carter hydrating shampoo, DIY black soap shampoo, DIY Mud Wash

Products which give you moisture for days

How well your hair holds moisture depends on two factors.

1. Health of your hair cuticles

2. The quality of  the product used

In order to lock in moisture your hair must first be moisturized. This means the hair must be wet or the product you use must have water listed first on the bottle. Oils or butters used over dry hair will not moisturize it. The oils and butter will only lubricate and soften the hair. For some people it dries it out even faster. To be sure you have moisturized your hair the best always use a water based product. 

A successful hair care regimen will keep your hair moisturized for 3 days before it requires more product. At the beginning of your hair journey you might find that you need to apply a moisturizer/leave in product everyday. But after 3 years of being natural on a good hair care regimen your hair should retain moisture for 3 or more days. If this is not your case, then re-evaluate your hair care regimen and the moisturizers you use.  

If you do not have a good hair care regimen, start the CoilyQueens Regimen today. Your hair will thank you.

Tip to combat frizz

Seal your hold product in, with a anti humectant. Anti humectants keep moisture from entering your hair cuticles so quickly. Your hair will hold its pattern longer and not puff up as quick.

Remember our Afro hair is not always frizzing up. When moisture enters our hair it curls up and that is natural.  While this natural occurrence, can work against most style choices, shrinkage is not evil.  We have been conditioned to think, it is something awful our hair does.  But it is truly a natural thing.
