Protein Overload?

Is your hair dry and suffering from breakage after a using a protein conditioner? I know how you feel. My hair HATES heavy protein. My hair gets really dry if I even look at Nexxus Keraphix or Mane & Tail. So after a protein overload, I make sure to use a moisturizing shampoo (Creme of Nature), condition, deep condition, and add a leave-in or setting lotion. I also co-wash and use a leave-in for the next few days 'til my hair is back to feeling silky. If your hair can't take all that protein, stick to moisturizing conditioners with light protein. A great example of a moisturizing conditioner w/ light protein is ORS Replenishing Pak, which y'all know I love. As for a leave-in treatment, you can use Kid Organics Detangling Lotion, Lacio Lacio, Emergency 911 Leave-In, or Salerm 21. Remember that your hair needs more moisture than protein.
