I was in a Trade Secrets salon last week looking at their products and thinking of trying some new ones. I got into a conversation with a woman who works there and she told me that you can use too much protein conditioning on your hair and it can get brittle from too much deep conditioning. I purchased a set of Joice K-Pac and Joico moisturizing conditioner ( can't remeber the exact name ). I am using Artec Moisture Pac about once every 2 weeks. I condition after every shampoo and leave it on about 5 minutes and then rinse. Then I use either Aveda Elixer or Sebastian Potion #9 as a leave in. Maybe I am doing too much. Is that possible? Also I am using jojoba oil at night 2-3 times per week. My ends do seem kind of brittle and fragile. I was thinking that I was repairing or at least not damaging my ends by doing all this. I have partially color treated hair and am growing out layers so these are probably factors in brittle ends too. Does anyone have any advice or have any info on how much protein conditioning is good and is there such a thing as too much? I am the queen of if a little is good then more must be better!
