Hi hair lovers!!
Hair is made up of a tough protein called ketatin. Our hair needs protein for good structure and for strength. Protein treatments temporarily repairs weakened hair strands.
Protein treatments can be used weekly or monthly depending on the needs of your hair and the type of protein treatment chosen. There are light and mild protein treatments which can be used weekly to bi-weekly. There are hard protein treatments which can be used monthly or every 6 week’s.
Chemically treated or bleached hair needs more protein than natural hair which is not bleached. My personal feeling will be to use protein treatments bi-weekly due to the manupulation done on my hair, hair canoe weakened by this practice.
Type 4 hair is naturally dry so whenever a protein treatment is done it must be followed by a moisture deep conditioning treatment.
Here are the list of different types of proteins:
Light proteins
– ORS replenish park
– Dark & lovely Ultra Cholesterol
Mild proteins
-ORS Hair mayonnaise
– Organic Hair mayonnaise
– Aphogee keratin 2 minute reconstructor
Hard proteins
– Aphogee 2 step protein treatment
– Joiko K pak deep penetrating reconstructor
What type of protein treatment does your hair loves?
Love
NKM

Its always good to have a well balanced regimen, where protein is incorporated once in a while.

I tend to use light protein a bit more often as my hair grows older. ORS replenishing conditioner and ors hair mayonnaise are my favourite protein conditioners.
The proteins you’ve listed as mild protein would be better termed as “medium protein”…people could mistake the “mild” for a treatment they can do weekly like the light proteins. This is a great post. Thanks for sharing.

I use medium protein on the last wash day of each month, I’ll then use light proteins once or twice in a month. My hair is liking that combination.
I love the new look of the blog š
