I use Nexxus Emergencee but it is really rich in protein and you must follow up with a lot of moisture. Shedding could be caused by a lot of reasons but in my opinion is due to not enough moisture. Anytime you see something wrong...side w/ moisture 1st before you decide to use protein. Try a deep penetrating moisturizing conditioner and see what happens. Typically I do a deep protein treatment the week after a relaxer to build my hair up but after that I just stick to moisturizing treatments. HTH |

yes u can try a reconstructor,,, i had some nagging and depressing breakage from overprocessing plus over heating and reconstructors can really help with that when used correctly,, they should always be followed up with a moisturizing con afterwards,, I started with Nexxus Emergncee which can be but really thickens and strenghens and now Im using K-pak which is lighter becuz i think i had a protein overload which causes MORE breakage!  its
really a specific balance and its not hard to mess it up so be careful with them..... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED |
