i'm having hair drama. I went to a salon in feb and got foil hi-lites. one week later i notice colored hair on floor, sink etc. i really didnt think much about it. well long story short---after numerous consults everyone said use protein treatments. i did. but guess what- -) more breakage b/c no one said moisturize. my regimen is as follows----wash once a week----shampoo with con, condition lekair cholesterol, moisturize proclaim olive oil---i'm now 8 weeks post relaxer. I'm really contemplating cutting my hair short. I washed yesterday. i put a mixture of lekair cholesterol, evoo, and honey. i then sat under dryer for 45 minutes. when i washed it out i had alot of long strand hair coming out. i was afraid so i put castor oil and silk elements in hair, sat under dryer 15 minutes i left it on and slept on it. i washed this morning and a lot of hair came out. it was very tangled and hard. i'm now afraid to wash. ------------- God is love. |

Try some AVeda Damage Remedy. You'll get moisture and protein. Also, I'd try condition washing daily to up the moisture. -------------

Hi, I don't use shampoo ... I just mix up shikakai powder with water
and rinse my hair with that 'tea' 2 or 3 times a week for natural
cleansing, without stripping the hair. (hey -- it also stops shedding, so try that!) But when I said condition washing...I mean get in the shower, rinse the hair, skip the shampoo, then apply conditioner while in the shower and rinse it out after a couple of minutes. I do this every morning using Robert Craig conditioner or Emu Oil conditioner. I find it helps with moisture (then I airdry). But I really think you should still consider AVeda Damage REmedy (they have a poo, conditioner, and deep treatment) I don't think it would be too much protein, but you know your own hair... -------------
