How Can Protein Help Your Hair?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hey Dolls!!

 

 

Hope you guys had a lovely weekend like I did. The weekend was filled with love and new beginnings!

 

 

So I want to talk about how important protein treatments are for your hair.

 

If you are currently transitioning then protein treatments is something that's very important, because as your hair was going through the relaxer process, the chemicals in the relaxers are tearing down your hair, hair follicles and just leaves your hair straight and limp.

 
Plus what's great about protein treatments it puts the snap back in your curls!! Curls be poppin! If your curls dont snap back after you wash your hair and it just says limp, then you will need a protein treatment.
 

Since you are currently transitioning you need to put your hair on a regularly schedule in order to maintain the two textures and to make sure your new growth of curls grow in healthy.

 

Protein treatments are excellent for people with damage or hair that deals with breakage, porous hair, or hair thats fine or thin.

 

 

 

When I do my monthly protein treatments I use Aubrey Organics Glycogen Protein Balancing Shampoo followed by Aubrey Organics Glycogen Protein Balancing Conditioner

 

Both products can be found on Amazon.com for about $8.00-12.00 depends on which seller you purchase from. Also I saw Aubrey Organics products in Fairway Supermarkets but it's more pricey there. Aubrey Organics products are GREAT for natural hair.

 

 

Here I am showing how to apply conditioner to your hair...ALWAYS start with your tips when you are working on your hair and work your way up to the roots.

 

 

I section my hair and apply the Aubrey Organics Glycogen Protein Balancing Conditioner to each section and use hair clips to secure the hair. Then I cover my hair with a plastic cap ( this time I ran out of my conditioning plastic caps so I settled for my target bag-heyI love Target' they always come in handy!!) Covering your hair will seal in the moisture and it will help the conditioner work more in your hair.

 

 

 

 

 I normally just leave the conditoner in my hair for a few hours while I handle things around the house or sleep with the conditioner in my hair overnight, but I just started using this conditioning cap you can hook up to you handheld hair dryer. Got it at Sally's Beauty Supply for $7.99.

I barely use heat on my hair because heat can damage your hair (which I will later discuss in a posting) but the conditioning cap saves me half the time and so far I used it twice and I really like it!

 

So after you finish conditioning you hair just rinse out with lukewarm or cool water and either let it air dry (like I do) or you can dry your hair with a cotton t-shirt. Drying your hair with towels will snag on your hair and cause breakage. Now we dont want that now!
