Its because they dontmention when they notice it if u notice ur hair dont look good 3/4 days agter u washed ur hair i guess uts just normal ! It means ure a human being having activities haha it just dries out get frizzier ! So if she means she notices it js’ust agter washin yeah i get it.. it cant be perfert everyday ...
This was so helpful! Your curls are absolutely STUNNING! I started my curly journey this year after 16 years of relaxing and keratin treatments so half of my hair is straight from damage and the other half is my virgin boricua curls. Videos like this help me SO MUCH! I also love manes by mel. I would love to see more curly routines 🥰
I'm a guy, after so many wrong advices and practices I finaly stumbled upon your channel. And I've never this satisfied in a long long time. You brought another level of confidence and happiness in life. Thank you.
Sometimes i wish i was just born with straight hair, my hair is just so tough to deal with. The frizz and the straight parts in the back never go away but then the front looks good. Im kinda just lost
Aww I totally get you girl, I actually have straight-ish hair is a bit frizzy, I wishhh I had curly hair, it's so beautiful lolll. I used to get some curl in my hair, espec at the back but I think that was just because I wasn't conditioning the back of my hair properly and it kind of was scrunched by sitting on my neck and hood when it dried sooo ahahah. I need to find an actual curl gel though and perhaps do something about the protein since it snaps pretty easily. I'm using flaxseed gel and it just doesn't seem to hold much for me. Love your curly hair though it's absolutely beautiful, I know for a fact other people are thinking that heheh xxx
I always have those wavy ish parts in the back and u can always wet them after ur hair dries and just finger coil them (if u have any product, use it) and they should look just as cute as the rest of ur hair ❤
@Gal Pal thank you i wanna ask a question but i don't know if you will know the answer should i cut my hair short or all the way off to make it curlier
Baby me: Straight hair Toddler me: Ringlets Child me: Big curly/wavy hair Pre teen me: Frizzy straight hair I'm upset at whatever happened to my hair :((
to be fair, it may be damage but it may also be simply hormones. Example: As a child my hair was pin straight, 1A. As I reached puberty my hair became "puffy" and only saw its waves and some curls when I let it grow. Basically it can be damage, but it can also just be puberty making changes
If you think your hair is “frizzy straight hair” it’s just curly hair that doesn’t have enough moisture. Mine was the same until I learned how to take care of it. You need a LOT of leave in conditioner and a light gel and you’ll probably be all set.
I've been seeing a lot of curly haired people showing or talking about Mel. I'm so glad she's getting the recognition she deserves as I feel she's really transformed my hair care routine for the better! I also have to say I've stumbled upon your videos many times and I love them, it's really great watching someone like us (Not hairstylists or professionals) talking about these difficult concepts. PS: Your hair looks wonderful 🖤
Ah this is so helpful, why is taking care of curly hair like science in high school lol. Anyway gonna look for some protein product next time I'm in a drug store (cause in my country Shea Moisture is sooo expensive), thank you for the video
Kiara Etsuko oh you don’t really have to use specific brands. Go to manes by mel’s video and she says which ingredients are good if you need protein. The only ingredient I can remember is keratin.
Do u guys have Hask there cause here it’s cheap and they have a Keratin line and a Biotin line that are good they also have tons of spray leave ins that are great!! I use the Keratin one daily..it makes my curls curlier! 👍🏾
I'm glad you figure things out. I love Manes by Mel also and have been following her. I'm still making all kinds of adjustments because I'm coming to realize that I have combination hair. Different types from the back to the front and some with different porosity, but im mostly high porosity all around...some hairs super moisture overload (lacking protein) while others look great. Luckily more look great than not, but finding the balance is a weekly project. I like the idea of having a styler with protien and am hearing that more. I used the shea moisture styler you recommended in the past, but I may have not done it right bc I didnt seem to like and used it for my son instead which it worked well for. I will need to revisit. Im learning a lot! Thanks for the video!!
my curls are actually just like yours but my roots looks almost straight and my hair has no volume at all and i have very thin hair ive lost sm in the last 2 years so it looks like my hair got less curly idk what to do my curls looks 2c now when I was younger it was 3a/b my hair cut is straight would it get better if i get layers? i feel like layers wouldn't look good on me because i don't have much hair
Hi my curls are similar in ways. I have straighter/ straight slightly wavy roots as well. I have also been loosing hair for the last couple of years so my hair looks thinner now. I have a fine texture of hair. Personally I find when I have more layers and bangs my hair has more volume, looks thicker and lays better. The curls also look better.
To answer your queatuon: when you have high porosity hair its usually from heat(tools,sun), hair color/treatments, styling damage etc. That's why Mel said your hair is damaged but balanced in the chart. Also when you have true hygral fatigue the only way to fix is is to cut it off. So you were lucky that it wasn't completely overloaded and reversed it before it was to late. But it's so hard to tell what your hair needs and how much is enough sometimes. Ugh. great video
I tried that elasticity test and the strand just broke and I barely stretched it. And all this time I was using protein because I thought that this is what I needed. I think you just saved my hair lol
i’m so thankful for this video! this is EXACTLY what my hair NEEDED 😩 I literally watched your video, went & got the same product, used it this morning & my hair is already coming back to life! 🙌🏼 🥰
I agree! Porosity is extremely important how you care for your hair and many people don't understand that. Even in the 80s hairdressers didn't recommend hair treatments based on porosity
your curls are so stunning jayme! i love the shea moisture mask, it’s my favorite!! it’s also 3am but i couldn’t miss this video lol. thank you for all the work you put into your content🤍
This was so helpful! I‘ve been using high moisture products for years now and i wondered why my hair became so flat and straight at the roots. I ordered the exact same products. To be honest i think my hair would look exactly like yours if the protein & moisture uptake would be balanced. I‘m looking forward to trying the new products 😍
Ok, so I did a hydrating mask, and it made my hair super oily. I’m gonna try a protein mask because by the description, I have a moisture overload. I was thinking my frizzy and limp hair was because I didn’t have enough moisture. This video was very helpful thank you 🙏
Coconut or any coconut derivative seems to be a huge problem for me. Worse is that virtually every product has it listed in the top 4 ingredients and many hair products have it listed as 2, 3, and 4. I don’t understand this coconut craze. It’s not the best for skin either but it’s in everything.
@Ammaarah Gardee I just cut nearly 4” off myself. I used Joico “moisture recovery” shampoo and conditioner 3 times, I am so mad at myself that I did it again and fell for the title and not the ingredients and the same happened to me. My curls also turned to a very dry, very dull 2 looking pattern. I was happy with Shea moisture low porosity line and they discontinued it 😢. I am having a very hard time finding replacements with no protein and no coconut.
I'm so thankful for this video! I have low porosity hair and apparently a moisture overload too. My curls right now just stretch and die. Also, my hair is super frizzy! (and other videos just told me it was because of lack of moisture) I now know that I need protein in my routine. Again, Thank you so much for these tips!
Such a HUGE help and I thank you so much! I follow Manes by Mell and she is one of my faves! I have low porosity hair as well and taking notes from YOU! Keep these videos coming girl! Xoxoxo
jayme thanks for sharing your story! I definitely have been watching mel's videos too and she helped me out a lot as well. I realized how to take better of my hair through both of your and mel's videos on curly hair. I also have low porosity hair and I realized that I had too much moisture in my hair as well a while back and was able to make some adjustments. it's so helpful hearing someone else's story who has similar hair as me and similar issues and triumphs. tysm for sharing!
I'm confused, because my hair is pretty low porosity, it has literally no elasticity, but I still fit into the signs of over moisturized hair. So confusing 😭
Is it possible you could have your porosity wrong? I did! Lol. And I got moisture overload. Ugh. Finding the balance has been a see-saw! There's a test on naturallycurly.com/quiz
Thank you so much!!! I am always so confused when I see people talking about the protein and moisture and no matter how man times I would read it I wouldn't understand it. This really helped me out!. Thank you😇
I just want to chime in with the protein overload- make sure you do a clarifying shampoo to remove the build up of keratin/protein before starting the moisturizing treatments. It is more recommended to go to a salon for a clarifying treatment but if not kinky curly makes a gentle CG friendly clarifying shampoo. Curlsmith also has a clarifying line if you want more high end products. I've also read you can do an apple cider vinegar mix, but my concern is it is too acidic and will mess with scalp ph/dry your hair out completely
For people who cannot get this masks bc it's not shipped to there country, it's expensive for them or they just want something 100% natural: Avocado, egg, honey and olive oil Bouncy juicy soft curls
It will hardly work. Proteins in products are hydrolized, meaning they have been broken down so that they can penetrate the cuticle, or sometimes are directly just aminoacids, even smaller. Neither simple egg or avocado will provide proteins that are small enough to do this.
I am not expert in chimistry. But I have tried it as a mask. My curls weren't defined and my hair was frizzy. I can say that my hair have never looked that perfect before. Even my colleagues (boys) noticed and were asking what did you do to your hair. I still have some parts of my hair that are straight because maybe they are damaged, but it definitely helped my curls. My mom was using egg for her hair and it was always shiny and healthy. Products may be better for all the reasons you told and I agree with you.
Hi Jayme Jo,and all you curly girls! I Know I am SO, SO, Blessed to be a Curly Boy !!!!!! I have only found You this week , but I have already learned a lot , My hair tends to get "greasy" so quick ? So I do have to wash & style every day for it to be at it's Best! Any ideas? I DO Love your relaxed friendly style of your videos! And Your HAIR !!!!!!!!!!!! WOW !!!!!!! AMAZING !!!!!!! Love You All , Curly Boy Simon, xxx
i think for you its best to see if you have a greasy or dry scalp. its simple for dry scalp you need more moisturizing products and for a more oily scalp you need more deep cleaning products, but it shouldn’t stop you from using moisture and protein. if you don’t use moisture and you only constantly use a clarifying wash your scalp is gonna produce oil so it can hydrate itself. i hope to have informed you a bit! :)
Also make sure you’re not using more product than necessary! My hair gets greasy faster if I put product too close to my roots or if I use more than one gel/mousse near my roots! There’s a lot of trial and error 😅
@@syouss3485 Hi,thanks for that,I do use a more deeper cleaning product - but I make sure not to over "dry out" and do use a conditioner -when needed. But I do find that if I use one product / manufacturer for a time my hair seems to "get used to it" -and then improves by using something by a different manufacturer for a time i.e. "Mix them up" a little? It seems to work ! I will try your advice and let you know, Love You, S. xxx
@@natalies4751 Hi, Yes Natalie, I think you have found part of the "problem" I must admit I do use more product than maybe I really need to ! Also I will be more careful not to get any too close to my roots ! Thanks, Love Ya, S. xxx
Thank you soooo much for the tips! I followed your advice and my hair has never looked so good!🥰 I had the same problem as you and I'm so glad I could fix it this way!
my hair actually looks limp and lifeless just like how yours did before. i just recently bought a whole new hair care setup to add some protein into my hair while retaining some moisture. might give myself a month or two to test everything to see if my curls come back to life. thanks for the video!
I think I've got moisture overload. I used to really not take care of my hair at all, I never even conditioned, but a few months ago I switched to the CGM. With every wash I was getting better and better results, but then in the past month it's gone way down. My hair goes limp so quickly after I unplop, my roots are flat, and my curls are like non-existent. I tried a clarifying wash today and my hair does feel a lot better, but its still so flat and stretchy. I'm gonna get this product you recommended! I dont want to mess with my usual routine yet as it's been going really well for around 5 months, but I think doing a clarifying wash and a protein treatment like once a month should help keep me on top of it all!
Im absolutely in love with your videos !! You have really helped me learn how to care for my curls.. thank you so much !! But do you have a tutorial for sleeping with curly hair ?
Love this video. I finally found out what's wrong with my hair. I thought I had an protein overload but it is moisture If I maybe believe this video. I love easy explanations. Thank you so much! ❤
I too have learned so much from Manes by Mell..... will have to switch things around for myself also.... have to balance mine out.... u explained it great also. Ty! Violet 🥰
I watched multiple protein-moisture balance videos but never really fully understood it until I went through both protein overload and moisture overload, LOL. I think most people will be like that too where they'll only fully understand it once they go through both extremes. And then, it's good curly hair washday after good washday galore once you've understood your hair's needs!
Thank you for this video it was soo helpful 🥰 How often do you use the Shea moisture protein mask? And when you’re not using it do you use another type of mask in the mean time? 😊
I think my hair is what yours used to be (moisture overload?) my hair is weighed down and gets so messy easily and has not much volume. And it gets frizzy and it’s soft.
wooooow this just everything in one video loove it. I was wondering did u also use shampoo & conditioner with protein together with that shea moisture protein treatment ? what kind of leave in did u use during this period of 2 weeks ?
Hi from Brazil Jamie! Great video, I've never understood quite well this balance/unbalance until now. I have low porosity hair as well but my problem is protein overload. Anyways, my question is, do you clarify every time you wash your hair?
For the Dutch speaking followers: keratin collection from Kruidvat is 2 products for 4€, keratin gliss kurr is 2+2 and the hask protein shampoo and conditioner was 1+1 last week (some promotions are still up now) I tried this as I saw manes video and my hair is not fixed yet after 1 treatment but heck what a difference!
@@aleksandralempart8305 because it doesn't say so on the bottle? I haven't looked it up, but Europe has restrictions :) so most bottles only say 'vegan' explicitly when it's shipped and not produced here
@@sarahvanlersberghe323 vegan only means no animal ingredients. It has to has both on the bottle. L'Oréal as a company is one of the worst for animal testing. Cruelty free free means not tested on animals. Doesn't mean no animal ingredients as well. Really there should be something that means both imo
@@aleksandralempart8305 I know :) I was just wondering how you know, by the bottle or by looking it up. I just know Belgium is rather strict, and that that's why many famous American products can't be bought in stores here. Since 2005 it's banned to test cosmetic products on animals (ingredients and end product). So Belgian bottles don't mention 'cruelty free' as all bottles sold in stores (not online) are. Not all products have to be vegan, but Europe had strict restrictions on the ingredients. Unfortunately Not on nanoparticles (yet), causing immense harm, f.e. In sunscreens
My hair is very protein sensitive! When I do my Shea moisture protein mask I have to also do my moisture mask by Mielle or Carols daughter to balance ! Same with products I have to do moisture|protein|moisture
Super helpful, I didn’t know why my hair is crap (I figured that my hair just wasn’t very curly anymore?) it stretches to infinity and just lays limp. Time to add some protein!
i'm so confused, like I have some things of moisture and protein overload but I always use a lot of moisture in my hair and isn't doing good lately so idk if I need moisture or protein? :(
Mine is so crazy. Like it stretches to infinity but it doesn’t fall off but it doesn’t come back either. (Only if I pull two singular strands will it break.) But I know I need some protein in my hair 😭. I’ve only been using moisturizing products because my hair looks dull. It’s definitely time for protein treatments.
Your hair is amazing . I am doing the slow grow out now til next april 1st.. giving it a year to rest from using curly girl method for 5 years and my hair was a hot mess
I used to have really really curly hair when I was a kid. Since I’ve been a teen, it slowly started to get less and less curly. Now I’m 23 to and it’s wavy on most days and on my best days I have low defined curls / a loose pattern. It’s so frustrating. I also have short hair so i feel like using the de man brush correctly is hard. I also use a curly hair cream after shower and a hair gel. I basically scrunch my hair with each products after washing my hair. Sometimes I diffuse but it doesn’t change much thing apart from volume. And I’ve never suffered from heat damage on my hair. It’s just really sad and depressing idk what to do🥺
i’ve gone through a ton of hair changes in my 14 years and personally i think your hair type is changing which is totally normal. there’s a possibility of your curls coming back so for now keep using sulfate and silicon free shampoos and conditioners and keep taking care of it as you usually do
wait you said you had a protein overload in the before picture , but then said you used a protein mask the next day. shouldn’t we be using more moisture if we have a protein overload?
Hi, Jayme Jo , and all You Girl's out there in " Curly World " - Your Channel Jayme Jo , is absolutely Amazing ! It's a " Curly Community " - within RUclips , I only found and subscribed 2 weeks ago But I have seen a BIG improvement with My Hair , I have had good advice from comments - and Your videos are a Great Resource - So...... I now have a new 'dryer/diffuser , Denman D3 , and more suitable products - and NOW know how to use them ! Thankyou ALL Love You - Simon. xxx - Your " Curly Boy "
When you used the protein treating mask to reverse, did you additionally wash your hair or just used the mask and wash it out. Also could you suggest any clarifying shampoos and moisturizing conditioner
My hair is so confusing. I don’t get it.
So it’s not just me. Lol. Ugh
Same I wish somebody would just look at my hair... give me a hair routine and products tailored for my hair so I don’t need to figure it out lol!
Girl same! About to go bald any second lol
Me too! I wish someone looked at mine and told me all that "porosity and stuff", then I'll figure out what products I need...😁
Its because they dontmention when they notice it if u notice ur hair dont look good 3/4 days agter u washed ur hair i guess uts just normal ! It means ure a human being having activities haha it just dries out get frizzier ! So if she means she notices it js’ust agter washin yeah i get it.. it cant be perfert everyday ...

Probably damage

I heard where ever there is frizz, there are curls. Try the CGM to see of you can revive curls/waves

I also have low porosity hair and I realized that I had too much moisture in my hair as well a while back and was able to make some adjustments. it's so helpful hearing someone else's story who has similar hair as me and similar issues and triumphs. tysm for sharing!
this is the video i didnt know i needed!! thank you so much, my hair (and me) has been suffering
I'm confused, because my hair is pretty low porosity, it has literally no elasticity, but I still fit into the signs of over moisturized hair. So confusing 😭
Lmfao same
Same!
Is it possible you could have your porosity wrong? I did! Lol. And I got moisture overload. Ugh. Finding the balance has been a see-saw!
There's a test on naturallycurly.com/quiz
Same here
That test is wrong my hair is low porosity and it said high
Great video ! Keeping a balance of both is so good for your hair to look it’s best !!! 💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕
porosity has to do with the hair cuticle- the outer layer of the hair strand not the folicle which is where your hair grows out from.
Girl, your curls give me life....and hope mine will attain 1/3rd of your beauty!
I love that you mentioned Mell!!! She is very helpful
I forgot you live in Australia so that’s why this was posted at 2 am
Omg I’ve literally been having the same problem as you with my hair! Thank you so much for this video🙏🏼❤️ So helpful! xx
its 3am in ny, i have class at 10am lol but i must watch ur vidssss🥺🥺🤍🤍🤍🤍
Thank you so much!!! I am always so confused when I see people talking about the protein and moisture and no matter how man times I would read it I wouldn't understand it. This really helped me out!. Thank you😇
I just want to chime in with the protein overload- make sure you do a clarifying shampoo to remove the build up of keratin/protein before starting the moisturizing treatments. It is more recommended to go to a salon for a clarifying treatment but if not kinky curly makes a gentle CG friendly clarifying shampoo. Curlsmith also has a clarifying line if you want more high end products. I've also read you can do an apple cider vinegar mix, but my concern is it is too acidic and will mess with scalp ph/dry your hair out completely
Thank you for the explanation.
When different people explain the same topic, they do it a little differently, and from a unique perspective.
For people who cannot get this masks bc it's not shipped to there country, it's expensive for them or they just want something 100% natural:
Avocado, egg, honey and olive oil
Bouncy juicy soft curls
It will hardly work. Proteins in products are hydrolized, meaning they have been broken down so that they can penetrate the cuticle, or sometimes are directly just aminoacids, even smaller. Neither simple egg or avocado will provide proteins that are small enough to do this.
I am not expert in chimistry. But I have tried it as a mask. My curls weren't defined and my hair was frizzy. I can say that my hair have never looked that perfect before. Even my colleagues (boys) noticed and were asking what did you do to your hair. I still have some parts of my hair that are straight because maybe they are damaged, but it definitely helped my curls.
My mom was using egg for her hair and it was always shiny and healthy.
Products may be better for all the reasons you told and I agree with you.
@@flaviopons142 bullshit. What do you think your ancestors did before they had products
eyes been opened
let's go shopping!!!!
thanks jayme
You read my mind.... i'm just now questioning what do to.... protein or moisture. Perfect timing!!
loveeee your vids! You're so informative and your hair is gorggg
I totally needed this video! Your hair looks great by the way☺❤
Hi Jayme Jo,and all you curly girls! I Know I am SO, SO, Blessed to be a Curly Boy !!!!!!
I have only found You this week , but I have already learned a lot ,
My hair tends to get "greasy" so quick ? So I do have to wash & style every day for it to be at it's Best!
Any ideas? I DO Love your relaxed friendly style of your videos!
And Your HAIR !!!!!!!!!!!! WOW !!!!!!! AMAZING !!!!!!!
Love You All , Curly Boy Simon, xxx
i think for you its best to see if you have a greasy or dry scalp.
its simple for dry scalp you need more moisturizing products and for a more oily scalp you need more deep cleaning products, but it shouldn’t stop you from using moisture and protein.
if you don’t use moisture and you only constantly use a clarifying wash your scalp is gonna produce oil so it can hydrate itself. i hope to have informed you a bit! :)
Also make sure you’re not using more product than necessary! My hair gets greasy faster if I put product too close to my roots or if I use more than one gel/mousse near my roots! There’s a lot of trial and error 😅
@@syouss3485 Hi,thanks for that,I do use a more deeper cleaning product - but I make sure
not to over "dry out" and do use a conditioner -when needed. But I do find that if I use
one product / manufacturer for a time my hair seems to "get used to it" -and then improves by using something by a different manufacturer for a time i.e. "Mix them up"
a little? It seems to work ! I will try your advice and let you know, Love You, S. xxx
@@natalies4751 Hi, Yes Natalie, I think you have found part of the "problem" I must admit
I do use more product than maybe I really need to !
Also I will be more careful not to get any too close to my roots ! Thanks, Love Ya, S. xxx
Definitely don't have to be washing every day
JaymeJo is drop dead gorgeous. Like WOOOOOOOW.
Thank you soooo much for the tips! I followed your advice and my hair has never looked so good!🥰 I had the same problem as you and I'm so glad I could fix it this way!
Early early earlyyy!! Love you Jayme 😇 from Brisbane
This video came out at the perfect time I was struggling with this! Thanks so much 🥰
my hair actually looks limp and lifeless just like how yours did before. i just recently bought a whole new hair care setup to add some protein into my hair while retaining some moisture. might give myself a month or two to test everything to see if my curls come back to life. thanks for the video!
Omg!!! That’s probably why my hair has been acting out, I stopped protein products for years now 🥵
What protein products do you recommend
I think I've got moisture overload. I used to really not take care of my hair at all, I never even conditioned, but a few months ago I switched to the CGM. With every wash I was getting better and better results, but then in the past month it's gone way down. My hair goes limp so quickly after I unplop, my roots are flat, and my curls are like non-existent. I tried a clarifying wash today and my hair does feel a lot better, but its still so flat and stretchy. I'm gonna get this product you recommended! I dont want to mess with my usual routine yet as it's been going really well for around 5 months, but I think doing a clarifying wash and a protein treatment like once a month should help keep me on top of it all!
Your hair is the healthy version of my hair so I subscribed.thanks for the advice.
I've been having a hard time trying to figure out what my hair needs so I'm really grateful I came across your vid. New sub!! ❤️
me realizing I messed up the balance in my hair after being too lazy to repurchase this protein infused product
👁👄👁
I started using the product she mention : )) glad to see another RUclips recommend it.
Thank you so much for your videos they helped me so much ,my hair is so beautiful because of you ,keep going !! 🥺💜💜💜💜
Last week I started wondering if I needed protien & started using tiny bits because I was terrified of it too GREAT TIMING
I would trust Jayme with my life. If she told me to put dirt in my hair I would
Im absolutely in love with your videos !! You have really helped me learn how to care for my curls.. thank you so much !!
But do you have a tutorial for sleeping with curly hair ?
You hair is a goal❤❤
This was the most helpful video out here!! I love how you explained it.
I tried to stretch my hair and it just snapped off lmao
Love this video. I finally found out what's wrong with my hair. I thought I had an protein overload but it is moisture If I maybe believe this video. I love easy explanations. Thank you so much! ❤
I LOVE that mask! I just got it not sure if I needed protein or moisture and it was the perfect balance
I too have learned so much from Manes by Mell..... will have to switch things around for myself also.... have to balance mine out.... u explained it great also. Ty! Violet 🥰
I watched multiple protein-moisture balance videos but never really fully understood it until I went through both protein overload and moisture overload, LOL. I think most people will be like that too where they'll only fully understand it once they go through both extremes. And then, it's good curly hair washday after good washday galore once you've understood your hair's needs!
Mell is just the best ❤️
Thank you for this video it was soo helpful 🥰 How often do you use the Shea moisture protein mask? And when you’re not using it do you use another type of mask in the mean time? 😊
I think my hair is what yours used to be (moisture overload?) my hair is weighed down and gets so messy easily and has not much volume. And it gets frizzy and it’s soft.
wooooow this just everything in one video loove it. I was wondering did u also use shampoo & conditioner with protein together with that shea moisture protein treatment ? what kind of leave in did u use during this period of 2 weeks ?
Hi from Brazil Jamie! Great video, I've never understood quite well this balance/unbalance until now. I have low porosity hair as well but my problem is protein overload. Anyways, my question is, do you clarify every time you wash your hair?
For the Dutch speaking followers: keratin collection from Kruidvat is 2 products for 4€, keratin gliss kurr is 2+2 and the hask protein shampoo and conditioner was 1+1 last week (some promotions are still up now)
I tried this as I saw manes video and my hair is not fixed yet after 1 treatment but heck what a difference!
They're not vegan or cruelty free 😢
@@aleksandralempart8305 because it doesn't say so on the bottle? I haven't looked it up, but Europe has restrictions :) so most bottles only say 'vegan' explicitly when it's shipped and not produced here
@@sarahvanlersberghe323 vegan only means no animal ingredients. It has to has both on the bottle. L'Oréal as a company is one of the worst for animal testing.
Cruelty free free means not tested on animals. Doesn't mean no animal ingredients as well.
Really there should be something that means both imo
@@aleksandralempart8305 I know :) I was just wondering how you know, by the bottle or by looking it up. I just know Belgium is rather strict, and that that's why many famous American products can't be bought in stores here. Since 2005 it's banned to test cosmetic products on animals (ingredients and end product). So Belgian bottles don't mention 'cruelty free' as all bottles sold in stores (not online) are. Not all products have to be vegan, but Europe had strict restrictions on the ingredients. Unfortunately Not on nanoparticles (yet), causing immense harm, f.e. In sunscreens
My hair is very protein sensitive! When I do my Shea moisture protein mask I have to also do my moisture mask by Mielle or Carols daughter to balance ! Same with products I have to do moisture|protein|moisture
the shea moisture jamaican black castor oil mask is also good for balancing protein and moisture in your hair
Super helpful, I didn’t know why my hair is crap (I figured that my hair just wasn’t very curly anymore?) it stretches to infinity and just lays limp. Time to add some protein!
psst 🌸🤗 just wondering if you would ever try a bonnet dryer attachment , vs diffusing video 🤗❣️i love your vids btw
i'm so confused, like I have some things of moisture and protein overload but I always use a lot of moisture in my hair and isn't doing good lately so idk if I need moisture or protein? :(
I fixed my curl pattern with a big chop I kid you not. I have type 4 hair now
Mine is so crazy. Like it stretches to infinity but it doesn’t fall off but it doesn’t come back either. (Only if I pull two singular strands will it break.) But I know I need some protein in my hair 😭. I’ve only been using moisturizing products because my hair looks dull. It’s definitely time for protein treatments.
This is so helpful! I believe I might have a moisture overload so I’m investing in a protein mask treatment
Your hair is amazing . I am doing the slow grow out now til next april 1st.. giving it a year to rest from using curly girl method for 5 years and my hair was a hot mess
I used to have really really curly hair when I was a kid. Since I’ve been a teen, it slowly started to get less and less curly. Now I’m 23 to and it’s wavy on most days and on my best days I have low defined curls / a loose pattern. It’s so frustrating. I also have short hair so i feel like using the de man brush correctly is hard. I also use a curly hair cream after shower and a hair gel. I basically scrunch my hair with each products after washing my hair. Sometimes I diffuse but it doesn’t change much thing apart from volume. And I’ve never suffered from heat damage on my hair. It’s just really sad and depressing idk what to do🥺
i’ve gone through a ton of hair changes in my 14 years and personally i think your hair type is changing which is totally normal. there’s a possibility of your curls coming back so for now keep using sulfate and silicon free shampoos and conditioners and keep taking care of it as you usually do
Your hair is what mine was like until my mid 20s, except red. Trying to get it back.
wait you said you had a protein overload in the before picture , but then said you used a protein mask the next day. shouldn’t we be using more moisture if we have a protein overload?
BINGO!! Just the information I needed!!
So some people’s curly hair looks shiny while wet but mines looks dry and frizzy what can I do to help ?
Hi, Jayme Jo , and all You Girl's out there in " Curly World " - Your Channel Jayme Jo , is absolutely
Amazing ! It's a " Curly Community " - within RUclips , I only found and subscribed 2 weeks ago
But I have seen a BIG improvement with My Hair , I have had good advice from comments - and
Your videos are a Great Resource - So...... I now have a new 'dryer/diffuser , Denman D3 , and more
suitable products - and NOW know how to use them !
Thankyou ALL Love You - Simon. xxx - Your " Curly Boy "
Your hair looks incredible 😍
When you used the protein treating mask to reverse, did you additionally wash your hair or just used the mask and wash it out. Also could you suggest any clarifying shampoos and moisturizing conditioner
She’s an amazing RUclipsr and so underrated 🥺 I love your channel ❤️❤️
