Hey curlfriends! When I mentioned "mushy hair" think spaghetti! Like if you take a bunch of over-cooked spaghetti in your hands and squish it, that's what I'm referring to. :-P
@@YaGurlPinkieit’s healthy like mine I used to have breakage the top was looking straight and malleable nd the rest of the fro was normal 4c curly but after a year of just sweating and braiding my hair nd leaving it secured today tooo my hair out the top looks like the rest of my hair now not straight anymore and my afro healthy I have super minimal dead hair wen I combed it out
Since I began using liittleextra coco onioon shampoo and hair conditioner, there's been a good reduction in hair fall. It feels softer and looks shinier. Compared to using other shampoos there was more hair fall. Additionally, I've started using a scalp massager and I think is also helping reducing hair fall.
This Cooconion shampoo and hair conditioner have cut down my hair fall, making my hair more soft while in better condition. I have just used up a bottle and have ordered a new one.
It took nearly a decade to realize this 😅. Medical professionals and hair gurus often fail to mention the connection between unhealthy blood circulation and the health of your skin, nails, and hair.
I have very fine, low porosity, 4a -c hair and it is super protein sensitive. I had no idea why my hair was breaking off until i stopped doing protein treatments altogether. My hair HATES it and tangles immediately with itself after detangling in sections. If your hair is anything like mine, don't use it and stick to hot oil treatments once a month.
How often did you do protein treatments? I don't do the strong ones I do " repair masks" that contain wheat protein and I find that's more than enough for me!! I have the same hair as you
@@jasmine_allen_ I never do protein treatments anymore but I used to do it every 3 to 4 months. I later learned that my hair makes way too much keratin on its own. I still use a few styling products that have protein in them but they are at very the bottom of the ingredient list and it's not a daily thing. My hair has been flourishing ever since...but hair is so individualized. What works for me might not fully work for you, I also have a lot of medical conditions and on meds that impact my hair.
Hi cosmetologist here! In salons we usually always follow up with a deep conditioner after a protein treatment, it’s usually never used alone. Hope that helps:)
might be what happened to me along with Real Henna And Amla Ayruvedic Organic 100% Good Quality though healthy, YOU MUST YOU MUST HAVE A GOOD MOSITURIZER FOR THESE AFTER USE ALWAYS BECAUSE THEY CAN BE DRYING FACTOR IN OUR WATER IN MY CITY WHICH HAS BEEN CHANGE DUE TO MUCH CONSTRUCTION AND OTHERS, THE WATER DID NOT HELP.

Me right now lol my curls not clumping it’s very piecy and tiny curls. It feel like my curls use to be thicker. Need to go back on protein treatments 😭
@@sammy_longlegs that could be a sign of lack of proteins. However, it could also just be a sign of Hydro fatigue. If you are not consistently using a pre-poo on wash day- your curls/clumping could be suffering because of that. I personally wouldn’t recommend just jumping into protein treatments unless it’s a part of an established regimen. If you are not protecting your hair from Hydro fatigue, on wash day, you will suffer more breakage and damage after a pro Tien treatment.
@@cookiedoughmonstertravels4469 thank you🫶🏾🫶🏾I did stop prepooing because stylist would say no oils. But when I would prepoo, my hair was at its best. I feel like if u wash n go a lot u need to prepoo. Cuz the constant wetting and drying is no good. This whole no oil trend doesn’t work for everyone. Oils are amazing lol.
@@sammy_longlegs unpopular opinion, possibly… But stylists are trash. They are not hair care specialists. They know how to style your hair. And in most cases, they are styling you straight into baldness. A hair care specialist in my opinion would not tell you no oils and any stylist you ever did would never see my hair again. Regardless of if you do wash and goes often, you should be pre-pooing before each wash day. That is the opportunities for you to de-tangle your hair without damage, for you to impart nourishment into your hair and scalp, that it has been lacking since the previous pre-poo or nursing wash day. Why would you go a month to month two weeks even without nourishing your hair and scalp? And btw, you are gorgeous! I checked out your modeling pics 💕
@@sammy_longlegs That can also be a sign that you need to clarify with a shampoo that has chelating agents. It’s so many possibilities. Also, cookie is right about hair stylists only being good at styling. They don’t know much about hair science. It’s actually a lot to know/learn about hair. So, I see why all of use say so many things, but what might work for someone else might not work for you depending on your hair type and the condition of your hair which causes so much confusion in the hair industry. I’ll say try different things and see what works best for your hair and stick to it. People don’t necessarily need to prepoo it just depends on their hair and how long you go without washing your hair. For me I had to clarify with chelating to see my curls again and then I retained moisture better because my hair started to absorb products and I deep conditioned, but my curls wouldn’t stay and became frizzy. So, I did the aphogee two step protein treatment. I used that after I got rid of all build up for it to work properly. Now my hair is much better. That process took me from low porosity hair to normal/high porosity hair.
My breakage is definitely low Protein...I probably gave my self 2 servings a *week Maximum of Animal Protein last 3 years, and almost 0, the 10 years prior. I've added daily flesh protein, 1-2 servings, but eliminated Wheat, (wheat depletes iron) processed food, and increased nutrition intake , and vitamins, including ACV before meals for added digestion and after one month, my hair feels softer, so that is promising. 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
My hair is extremely fine. Like the actual strands are fine and they are weak. I also just don't have a lot of hair. So thin strands along with low porosity. I Most products just sit on my hair. Plus I have sub derm. I just needs loads of help.
I started wearing an Afro because I sweat a lot and sweat out my hair style. I don’t wear protective hair style. My hair is well hydrated because of the cold, heat from body then oil on my hair . My hair feels 🤔🤷🏾♀️
I’ve had protein overload several times in my hair journey because I was following people on RUclips. My hair was dry, brittle and breaking off. Then I read all of the ingredients on my hair products and threw away any products with protein. Using Rhassoul clay has saved my hair.
💫✨ Tonya, do you find that natural gray hair tends to be one porosity over another; i.e., more high porosity over low, - no chemicals (or color either) and does it tend to need more protein or do you think moisture . . . always a problem with sealing in moisture! Thank you so much for the helpful tips in this very nice video,,, ! 🥰 💫✨
The mushy feeling is so true!! I went years without having a protein treatment and my hair felt mushy after deep conditioning treatments. When I would scrunch my hair, it would make a mushy sound when applying leave in conditioners. After I did Aphogee’s two step protein treatment, my hair felt so strong and was able to hold a curl after years of not being able to.
What are the things we should be doing to moisturize our hair? Would it be a castor oil & coconut oil mask? Thisnisnsupposento hold in moisturizer. Oil and water doesn't mix. I don't aee how this will help. Sounds like the hair would sufficate under the oil.
Aphogee provitamin leave in conditioner. I had moisture overload and this leave in solve the problem. Monitor your hair after a few months, you will notice a huge difference.
Thank you! It depends on your hair. I usually do a protein treatment once a month, however if you have really damaged hair then you may need to do a treatment like k18 biweekly.
I feel like my hair never needs protein? Is that possible? I have high porosity hair and every time I try and use something with protein in it (to give my curls a little boost after using heat) my hair feels hard and brittle.
Thanks for the info. I find myself on a constant hunt for products that work for my hair. I tried Olaplex, which seemed nice, however not enough to justify the price. Then, I heard about lawsuits for adverse reactions. Just as I was about to try Curlsmith, I read the ingredients, and found a hydroxide product, which I remembered being told, was in relaxers. And, they too had articles on lawsuits. Now, I'm trying a product line called, "Earth Clean Beauty," which I've just used, for the first time. It seems to be o.k. . Is this a product line that you have heard of? And, if so, would the ingredient list make it one you might recommend? Thanks.
It’s the feeling of it. If you never felt your hair being mushy then your hair is satisfy with the protein it’s getting. It’s not a good feeling cuz it’s super weakkkk and limpy
You’re better off using commercial protein treatments; the protein is already broken down, often into amino acids, so the hair can absorb it easily. My favorite is the Pureology Strength Cure, brought my hair back from the brink.
Aphogee products had my relaxed hair growing back in the day. Mid back length. And my mom hair was to her butt. Just as shiny and thick. Okay so now I’m back to natural hair again. Been praying and looking for a good product. And bam 💥 ran across this fabulous man talking about this product I used. I just need to know if I need a protein treatment. When washing my hair springs back. If I pull it now that it’s dry. It does the same thing. I think I just need to moisturize my hair and seal it with an oil or grease. I’m I right @AfrikanHairGod?
I am so rough on my hair, always wear ponytails (not tight) however I don’t grease my hair either and I’m experiencing breakage. I have hair middle of my back length and I’m so sad it’s breaking off. Do I have to cut it all off or should I just try to repair it?
I see a lot of people using protein treatments alone, though you can do that typically it’s not advised due to the possibility of causing an imbalance. Follow up with a deep conditioner after a protein treatment to ensure proper strength and hydration
I'm 71 and my hair became very thin and miniaturized. I think it is hormonal. The texture changed. I'm worried that I might go bald. I had such Beautiful thick shoulder length hair. It is very thin in the front.😢
Can someone please define "mushy"? Like how do I tell if my hair is just wet from the water or mushy? I am so confused with my hair, all the info I keep learning about wavy hair tells me my hair has every problem, it's dry, it's damaged, it has too much protein and not enough, it has too much moisture and not enough, Idk what to think or what to do...I am just so overwhelmed by all the contradicting info and advice available.
My problem is my hair is really dry and stiff. It doesnt bounce back at all. I have way too much volume so its just stiff and no curls aare formed. I cant tell if i need protein or mosuture.
I have been having some tiny wound scars on my hair and it keeps on spresding for a while now and i really dont know what to apply or do to it ,it scares me though
I dyed , then bleached then dyed my hair again and used two boxes 😮 I know and now my scalp is irritated and my hair when wet is a little elastic kinda starchy what do I do? What do I need? Protein or moisture?
I asked a stylist how to treat “protein overload” & she said she never heard of that😅?! My hair tends to stretch & snap in the shower when using my hair pik to detangle. I get out, then brush more conditioner throughout my hair with a tangle tamer it does the same. I do a protein treatment it knocks all my curls out. Then I look like a wet dog. What I’m doing wrong 😂
I'm thinking of hair that has been hit with Nair. That hair feels mushy. When removing hair on my upper thighs, I remember getting Nair hair remover too close to hair on my privates and that initial mushy feeling of the hair before it went down the drain. I almost fainted because I didn't like the hairless look. Nair breaks the disulfide bonds of keratin in hair.
I found out my hair was protein sensitive the hard way, now I use liquid wheat protein (I add it to my home made conditioner) which doesn’t make my hair brittle like regular protein hair products
Too much protein can harden your hair FYI. Originally protein was used for people that got chemical services done to their hair like a relaxer or perms etc. I’m a cosmetologist by the way. Just saying too much of anything is can be bad too.
shrinkage is a sign of healthy hair. If your hair naturally curly, it will spring up aka shrink. The only way to stop it is to damage it, use a lot of heat, avoid protein that gives it great elasticity or get a relaxer (shrugs).
@@curlynella1011 I know.. I know... that's why I wrote too much in quotes. because I'm grateful for my spring-up hair. I would never use relaxers or damage it just to have them more (irregularly) elongated. I just want to know if some gel or STYLING product would give me these results. There are so many thousands of products, I'm sure that there's something that can provide this effect, I just don't know them. Look, if you don't like to change up, non permanently your hair, is fine. But I like to Style my hair differently, and I also want to enjoy my length while curly, if possible not needing to stretch with heat. This doesn't mean that I would do *anything* to have elongated curls. 🤔
Try henna treatments. It protects the hair and may elongate the curl slightly. You can also braid or twist your hair as in protective styling. These are great alternatives to heat and chemicals and are healthy for your hair 😌
Hey curlfriends! When I mentioned "mushy hair" think spaghetti! Like if you take a bunch of over-cooked spaghetti in your hands and squish it, that's what I'm referring to. :-P
How many times per week do you wash your hair to keep it healthy?And stimulate growth?
Another tip: The breakage might also mean you need a trim REALLY BAD
What if you never trim your hair and there isn't breakage

@@noremorse243so basically u sayin that u had uneven hair?
You better know it
Trimming the hair will not make it healthy, you will get new breakage if you don't treat it.

A common thing we all forget to is IRON. Me! I need iron because my levels are constantly low. Sigh.
Add lactoferrin to the daily iron consumption. Numbers will go up.
It took nearly a decade to realize this 😅. Medical professionals and hair gurus often fail to mention the connection between unhealthy blood circulation and the health of your skin, nails, and hair.

Me going through the comments to understand what qualifies as mushy 😅
I'm thinking of hair that has been hit with Nair. That hair feels mushy. When removing hair on my upper thighs, I remember getting Nair hair remover too close to hair on my privates and that initial mushy feeling of the hair before it went down the drain. I almost fainted because I didn't like the hairless look. Nair breaks the disulfide bonds of keratin in hair.
Tf?
I really dont understand what muchy hair is?!?
If you pull it and it stretches a lot, like in a way that is weird, what does that mean?
Any protein product recommendations?
Does the hair need to be wet or dry when doing this test?
How do I know if my hair is mushy?
Hey!! So I got protein for my hair and now it's straight but I wanna dye it so if I dye it will my hair go back to normal (curly) or not?
How often should high porosity hair use protein in a month?
Maybe 4-6 weeks. I use Ahpogee and it says every 6 weeks
I apologize but can someone please explain mushy hair
How can you implement more protein?
Could you recommend some protein treatments?

My hair is see through but not my scalp
I use animal fat base hair grease.
Mushy hair? Means what?
I found out my hair was protein sensitive the hard way, now I use liquid wheat protein (I add it to my home made conditioner) which doesn’t make my hair brittle like regular protein hair products
Hi , can you share the brand of the protein and your diy conditioner ingredients please? 😄
New sub I love you content - thank you I thought I knew all things hair until I camr to your channel 😂❤😅
Can you do a video for if your hair too much protein?
I have curly hair so when I pull a hair it stays straight and does not come back so
It all started when I used Keratin "curly" hair products 😢🙄
Too much protein can harden your hair FYI. Originally protein was used for people that got chemical services done to their hair like a relaxer or perms etc. I’m a cosmetologist by the way. Just saying too much of anything is can be bad too.
When I pulled the hair it broke. I didn't even pull that hard.
💚 what to do if you don’t want your hair to spring up “”too much?” To have somewhat more enlongated curls?
shrinkage is a sign of healthy hair. If your hair naturally curly, it will spring up aka shrink. The only way to stop it is to damage it, use a lot of heat, avoid protein that gives it great elasticity or get a relaxer (shrugs).
@@curlynella1011 I know.. I know... that's why I wrote too much in quotes. because I'm grateful for my spring-up hair. I would never use relaxers or damage it just to have them more (irregularly) elongated.
I just want to know if some gel or STYLING product would give me these results. There are so many thousands of products, I'm sure that there's something that can provide this effect, I just don't know them.
Look, if you don't like to change up, non permanently your hair, is fine. But I like to Style my hair differently, and I also want to enjoy my length while curly, if possible not needing to stretch with heat. This doesn't mean that I would do *anything* to have elongated curls. 🤔
Try henna treatments. It protects the hair and may elongate the curl slightly. You can also braid or twist your hair as in protective styling. These are great alternatives to heat and chemicals and are healthy for your hair 😌
