Thanks alot!! after a while, i finally found out im protein sensitive. Thought i needed the protein, but in fact needed only moisture. Having my eye on camille rose for so long now, but something was holding me back. the curl love contains rice milk, not a protein? And curl maker, contains seaweed which is considered protein/amino acid. Either way, now I've seen your video i WILL try them out tho!
Hi Julia! my pleasure . Your hair will always need protein. Even protein sensitive hair needs protein. The funny thing is protein actually helps your hair to retain moisture so perhaps try and go for smaller proteins. I explain this in my video on signs of protein sensitive hair - it might help you figure out how to tailor your protein use. et me know how it goes. Also, rice milk has very little (if any) protein so you shouldn't have to worry about this :)
@@AfopeAtoyebi Hi Afope, thank you for ur response. Its true what you're saying, every hair needs protein. I was just really protein overloaded for quite some time, and i made it worse everytime i used a little (in my stylers). But my hair seems to like it while im washing, retaining the moisture exactly! And yes im trying out smaller ones now. Since few days i noticed my hair loves silk protein, works very well. And thanks about the heads up, will try camille rose ;)
Afope Atoyebi 🥰I went through Jane Carter’s site and found six products I should be able to use... haven’t ordered yet. With the new lingo I’ve gotta check all my existing Mielle products 👍🏾
Idk if I’ve commented on this video but I have to say this video is everything. I don’t buy a product without looking at 11:39 and checking each label. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you
Same. I found the kiehls deep conditioner with sunflower oil works well for my hair. My hair loves sunflower oil. Also, Organigrow low porosity hair dew works wonders for my hair. Her cowash was too heavy for my hair, but she has an entire low porosity line that is worth trying.
I‘m 2 years late to this video, but nonetheless super grateful to have come across it after I suffered a protein overload yesterday and shipwrecked my curls, not having a clue as to what I did wrong when I applied a keratine mask…😱 I now found out the hard way that my hair has been suffering from protein heavy hair products. So HUGE thanks for taking the time to produce this very (!) informative video! God bless you sis❤ Update: So I tried the As I am mask, and much to my disappointment my hair felt dry when I rinsed it out. Don’t understand what the heck is wrong with my hair?! 😢
As I am has protein in almost every product. I’m the same my hair hates almost anything, only tolerates natural sea moss after clarifying shampoo. I have to get rid of the build up and then use products without any protein. I’m still learning and trying out products.
Girlll I just grabbed a pen and a notebook and clicked that subscribe button!! Your videos are EVERYTHING, they are really teaching me a lot. I recently just went thru a protein overload and watched one of your videos and got rid of the problem ASAP😩 I have low porosity hair and I’m trying to get my hair more healthy so it’ll be able to grow and I trust your videos to do that. Thank you so much!!!😘
Your videos are great in teaching on protein overload and how to avoid it. I'm a little frustrated that biotin and coconut oil aren't mentioned as proteins to avoid. I understand coconut oil isn't technically a protein, however, it holds on to the proteins in our hair. I've been searching and searching..and searchinggggggg for products without any hidden proteins, waxes, biotin, or coconut to no avail. There should be a product somewhere in this universe that removes protein from the hair without adding more to it and without adding ingredients that hold on to the protein we are already trying to remove. Why does almost every hair product contain protein? It kinda sounds like a set up. "Make them think their hair is dry when really it's just protein overload to make them buy more of our moisture products that still contain hidden protein to make them need a clarifying shampoo that says it removes product buildup so it can add more protein"... Can you hear my frustration? 😆 Is anyone else besides me tired of spending money on all of these products only to have them sit in a drawer unused?? 😣 There's gotta be a better solution to all of this. Your videos have been helpful. 🙏
I feel ya. I'm here to find a protein free product. My hair has been dry for ages now, and breaking. No matter what I was using. Then I checked all my shampoos and hair masks, and they all had protein and hidden protein. So I used only products that didn't have any last night and my hair is soft as baby hair. 🥹🥹 It's not easy to find them tho.
@@MISSYMINX261 Maui shampoo, Avalon apple cider vinegar shampoo. At the moment. Faith in nature hair masks don't contain protein either. One has to check all the ingredients when buying a hair product, anything that has protein, or hydrolyzed anything, collagen, even coconut oil, they're not good for low porosity hair.
You are THE BOMB! Thank you SO MUCH for being brief, for explaining things so perfectly, for being classy and not using crass language, and for being absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I’m about to get a perm and I have color treated, fairly dry hair. I’ve been doing extra conditioning to prepare, but not getting luxurious results (using Shea Moisturizing intensive hydration masque). I’m thinking it might be too much protein. One week before the perm, I’m getting a conditioning treatment at the salon, but I think it will contain keratin (ugh, protein, yes?) I would be most beholden for any advice! Love you! Thanks again!
Very clear and helpful. I’m now looking at the ingredient lists and comparing with the notes I took from your videos....saves me lots of hair disasters and wasted money. Thanks so much!!!
Since I started following you my hair has done a 180 degrees. So hydrated, moisturized and finally growing . Very fast which was never my case. Thank you
Thank you for making this video. I just realized my hair does not like protein and I needed to find products with no protein in them, and now I know what to look for in the ingredients.
Wow! My hair just fell out (about 20% of all my hair) due to the rice water protein treatment. I already used my Cantu leave-in & curling cream. BUT n however, I wasn’t expecting this vid to be as helpful as it was... I checked the leave-in as u were talking about how to identify proteins n BAM noted twice in the list: Hydrolized wheat protein & hydro..protein PG-propyl.. OMG! Now I see why I keep having hair issues. I haven’t been paying attention to detail. Had no idea rice water had so much protein (fermented for 2 weeks 😖) & then the ingredients in my products add fuel to the fire! Girl... #subscribing!! Thanks sooo much!
i jUst read all my ingredients too and recently bought the cantu curling cream. it seems like ALL my products have some form of protein, and my hair is so prone to breakage and brittleness. big whoops lmao 🥴
Just wanted to say a big thank you! I didn’t realize I had protein overload. I bought the Giovanni 50:50 shampoo and conditioner. I already had the Camille Rose moisture milk and I also used uncle funky’s curly magic. I had great results with this routine and will continue to watch out for too much protein! Thanks so much for sharing! God bless you 💕
Does the Camille rose milk have protein ? I can’t have protein in my hair at all it’s so overloaded but I need a good Moisture leave in after the shower cuz it’s soooo unmanageable, ugh. Makes me cry
Hi.. I found u in January when I managed to put my hair into protein overload something Awful. I had never herd of protein overload until I used a keratin hair dye. I had no clue what I had actually done till I found your videos. Then it all made sense.. Thank You. 😊 I had been making progress with getting back to normal until I used the Hydration Elation. Now I'm back to square one. I used the Sally beauty supply site to read the ingredient list. It didn't have the Betaine In there at All. So I used it. My hair was a straw mess right afterwards. I went to the as I am page and found that Betaine was the 3rd ingredient.I cried😢. I noticed you made this video 3yrs ago.. that's plenty of time for the company to reformulate it. I dunno.. Maybe Betaine isn't too much for just low porosity hair.. but my overload hair hated it. I wanted to let u know this since it's on the list of protein free products. Thank you for your videos..😊
One of the best videos I've watched, soooo detailed and helpful. I also like that fact that you went through the stress of giving us examples of products and the little protein lecture!!! For those us of just starting our hair journey we say thank you. Pls sometimes chip in some tips and recommendations for relaxed hair girls like me. Great job👏👏👏
I didn’t see any of those ingredients in the products I have now and I’m going to start using the products you suggested for my low porosity hair but I don’t like to waste products. I’m a junkie I’ll admit but I’m trying to get down to one of everything from the shampoo to the moisturizer. So until I can get to the products you mentioned, which product as far as a cream do you think would be best for my med dense, low porosity semi grey hair. Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie or African prides moisture miracle curling cream? Also, I have been using suave rosemary and mint shampoo and conditioner and suave daily clarifying shampoo when I need to clarify. What do you think of those? ❤❤❤❤ I I would really appreciate the help. Learning my hair has been a long and exhausting process. Thanking you in advance
It's funny! I'm now seeing the mess I've been making mixing protein and protein-free products without realizing how much protein overload I've been creating.
very informative ! just put my hair into braids that'll stay for a couple of months , but i look forward to implement the use of more protein-free products in hopes my hair won't be so darn hard and rough
Great video. Very informative. I am still so confused. I've been searching for weeks for protein free products. Can't find them. Many have aloe in it. Isn't aloe protein? I destroyed my hair with the aloe leaf and oil mistures, aloe vera oil and coconut oil. My hair is damaged. Super brittle because of the protein over load. My hair doesn't react well to Shea Moisture or certain Cream of Nature pmixtures, My scalp actually developed small scabs and itch horribly when I use coconut oil. I am going to try the Treseme clarifying and shampoo you've suggested.
June 2024. Hello, three years later:). Aloe vera confuses me too. I have read that it is a protein, I have read that it ACTS LIKE A PROTEIN. I think the form of aloe vera (juice, gel, powder) may have something to do with it? I'm sitting here right now with rough, dry hair and I think it is due to my use of aloe vera juice as a spritz after deep conditioning. I'm going to drop that and start over with a protein free regimen to find my baseline. I hope you resolved your hair situation. I read on Afope's RUclips community page that she was transitioning to TikTok, but I cannot remember the date.
I didn't realize I had protein sensitive hair until I tried the olaplex #3 I believe, at home treatment. And it was the legitimate olaplex too. My hair got so tangled and broke off...it was crazy!!🤯
I bought the entire line #1-7 because it worked great on my clients (I’m a cosmetologist ) and it RUINED my low porosity hair!! Worst decision ever. FYI olaplex is not a protein. It’s a bond builder, but it sure does feel like a protein!! 😒🤨
Im so sorry that happened to you to!! And yea I know its not an actual protein treatment. Which is why I wanted to try it, thinking it wouldn't hurt my hair. I have high porosity bleached and chemically treated hair. And I couldn't believe it 😟 I hope you got your hair lined back out ❤
@@Xoxmickey05 I thought it was just me! Olaplex caused great damage/ hair set back. I am still recovering. First thing I had to do was then shampoo with a clarifying shampoo to strip the protein out. Following with moisturing shampoo and deep conditioner. I also cut two inches off. It too about 3 months to recover🤬!!!
•Miche Beauty Cleansed Shampoo •Miche Indulge Deep Condirioner •Camille Rose Aloe Whipped Butter Gel (leave-in/moisturized). I love using the Giovanni 50:50 Conditoner as a pre shampoo detangler. I haven’t used the gels she mentioned but am hoping to try them soon to help retain moisture in my hair thank you for your film forming humectant video!
You are truly talented and it’s so refreshing to watch your channel with its good balance of professionalism & humour! Thank you! Can I please ask a personal question? Have you always had that hair texture or is it due to genetic factors? It’s absolutely gorgeous! I’ve recently ruined & damaged my hair (rice water overload gone wrong leaving a brittle thirsty texture) so I truly welcome your advice as I desperately try to restore moisture into my 4c high porosity hair type!
Thank you so much, Tanya! Yes my hair has always been this texture - suuuuuper coilyyyy. My Mum's hair is like this too. Ahhh, rice water overload is a bummer. It saddens me because LOTS of people are trying it without having information about how it can go wrong and then ending up with brittle hair. 😫
I’m on the cusp of shaving it all off. Before I take drastic measures do you think I should cleanse my scalp and then deep condition with less/non-protein products to rebalance and get mo-mo-moisture?
Love your videos so much, they are so informative! Could you do a video about hair that gets easily over moisturized and about what to avoid? I think there is quite a few of us having this kind of issues 🙈
You know your hair!! Want to thank you for giving true information . I do have a question if you would be able to help . My hair has shrunk so tight to my scalp and I cannot pull it loose . It just shrinks right back up soon as it dries a bit. Any help will be much appreciated.
Absolutely loved the way you presented the information. I am currently experiencing this issue. I really needed this video to help me become more knowledgeable and aware. Before finding your video, I had spent the better part of the night researching. Thank you for the clear speech, bright lit video, and the information. Alikay Avocado moisturizing conditioner, TGIN honey hair mask, Cream of Nature Argan moisturizing shampoo, and My Black is Beautiful shampoo. I am not sure about some of these. Also the Curl Junkie shampoo.
Thank you! My hair has been looking awful lately and I truly suspect it's due to protein overload. I'm going to try some of these recommendations. Thanks for breaking them down by type I was having trouble finding good lists elsewhere.
Thank you for the Giovanni 50 50 recommendation. I bought it in my local grocery store. I love it! I have fine damaged hair. It’s the perfect gentle clarifying shampoo
Have you tried the Camille rose coconut water leave in? Would you recommend it? Apparently it’s a slightly better version of the knot today. I bought the curl milk but thinking of getting the coconut leave in also.
I have, I actually really liked it and agree it is very similar to knot today but in my opinion not better. KK Knot today has been my staple for years. My Low porosity hair also enjoyed Shea Moisture silicon free miracle styler and Mielle Organics Pink Peony. Hope that helps!
Girl let me tell you, I just tried a shea moisture 2 in 1 African black soap and tea tree oil, it’s only 7.99 I believe, it’s in the men’s section i found it at Walmart! This is amazing! No protein, would be perfect for the weeks that you don’t clarify and it’s affordable! Bam!! Thankyou for teaching me to read ingredients! That’s how I found it! Lol
Thank you for your video. It mades soo much sence. However, coming from the UK it can be difficult to get some products or its really expensive. Any chance you could help us protein sensitive people with more information on protein free mouse products. Thank you. 😊
As soon as this video started and you said your a scalp-ologist (lol see how I did that) I subbed. You're a black! Woman! Also anddddd you're high porosity like me so I'm definitely about to watch your vids now
I hope it’s not too much to ask because I know you don’t have my hair type but I’m struggling!! Can you do a video on products and tips for low porosity, protein sensitive 4c hair???? Please I’m dying over here sis😩😩😩
Hey Girl! Don’t worry it’s not too much to ask. I did a video on deep conditioning low porosity hair ... it’s not much but it’s a start and I think you may find it helpful in the meantime, whilst I work on other low-po content?
Afope Atoyebi I just watched it but I’m going to watch it a few times. So I can apply your suggestions to my shopping cart. But I was trying to decipher what was for my hair type and porosity level
Hi i love your channel. I have been so distressed....due to one of my issues is protein overload.....and my hair has been falling out..since id say a few months...i watched your products...and today im going to ulta to get something. i need your advice for the best protein free for blonde...fine hair...a shampoo, conditioner...and leave in...or whatever you think.... im soooooo upset thats its a result of olaplex...and the last products in the last few years....releases........ ive been an advocate for the brand.... and i need help to help me.......really.....this is what is causing all my hair to fall out...from the follicle......they took a biopsy and its not alopecia areata or that at all..... .i had all the blood tests..and my derm runs the hair clinic.. in chicago...they called me...and asked if i heard of olaplex...and i freaked out. I said i only use olaplex...everything in the line........ SHe has too many people coming in with the same product.. and they called me!!!!!!!!!..OMGOMGOMG........that it was from the last several new releases.. pleeeeeez write me... if you read this.....i need to get products today....NO PROTEIN.......thank you....
Some of the products have aloe Vera and coconut oil which you said in a previous video to avoid if you have protein overload. So now I’m super confused😩 I have products that contain aloe Vera and coconut oil, can I keep using them?😬
Me too! I'm so confused by all this conflicting information about coconut oil and aloe vera. Sometimes I hear people say they're like protein and leave a layer on top of low porosity hair and therefore you should avoid them. But then they're also constantly being recommended as super hydrating, especially for low porosity or finer hair 😩
possibly really stupid question, but I stumbled over the marshmallow in the last two products (kinky curly curling custard and the camille rose one); Isn't marshmallow mostly egg whites and that is basically pure protein? let me know what you think! thanks so much for the awesome video!!
Hi their I love your video! And a Merry Christmas and happy new year! Can you use to much protein shampoo on your hair? That’s all I seem to use, but my hair is a bit snappy?
Hi hun good video ..ive got relaxed hair but it's so hard to find products that are not for curly hair..or protein or silicone free ..any recommendations please ..would the camile rose moisture milk be good ?? Thanks 😁 I've subscribed 👍👍
Thank you so much for making this video. Have you tried the Giovanni leave in conditioner? Any thoughts on it for low porosity. New subbie. Just discovered your channel ☺️.
Thanks love! 💛Fun fact: this was the FIRST EVER VIDEO I filmed for this channel, but it was 23 minutes of pure talking and SO BORING - my goodness, it had to go 😂. Thankfully, I've had some time to improve my videos, and I've been itching to talk about it, so I think it's about time I put it back on the content schedule.
Hi, please can you let me know if aloe Vera juice in products counts as a protein? I’ve seen a few reviews saying aloe products have given women protein overload. Thank you x
@@mariaasmrr Yes, Aloe Vera can be damaging to protein sensitive hair (I found out the hard way) but it’s also dependent on the usage. I was using this product that contained Aloe Vera daily 🙄😩…Now I only use products with a natural protein on a monthly basis. X
Kinky Curl Leave in have protein in it? Isn’t marshmallow root and slippery elm considered protein? I’m trying to get rid of protein overload would that help or make matters worse?
Quick question: Is Betaine an amino acid? and If so, than it's a protein correct? It's listed as an ingredient in the Giovanni 50:50 Balanced Shampoo on the website in your link. Just want to be sure before I buy. My hair is VERY protein sensitive. Thanks for all your other suggestions! Love your channel!
@@mizzmiami3242 Right now I'm using Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo and Jessicurl Deep Conditioning Treatment in Citrus Lavender. Haven't been able to find a styling product that doesn't weigh down my hair yet.
I'm in protein overload right now. The Betaine In Hydration Elation set me back something Awful 😢. I'm not sure if the Hydration Elation has changed over the years since this video.. but Betaine is the 3rd ingredient now. I'm right back where I started in January. I don't know if amino acids affects low porosity hair differently than those in protein overload.. but it wasn't good for my overload hair. 😢
I have an issue with the As I Am Hydration Elation DC because it has coconut oil. I try to eliminate proteins as well as coconut oil. Even though coconut oil isn’t a protein, I don’t want to take my chances. What are your thoughts on aloe vera and low porosity hair? That’s another ingredient that I refrain from. I enjoy your videos because they are educational. These are like no other videos.
Mizzmiami 32 I do like using African Pride when my hair has been in twists for several months and African Pride has aloe vera. I just have to make sure to wash it out immediately. I’m a product junkie so I don’t have many staples. Currently, the staple product that I have is Proline Wave Gel. It’s high in glycerin, which my hair loves. I like Softee hair grease to use as a sealant. I like using Christophe Robin Cleansing Thickening Paste Shampoo for Men. I like Not Your Mother’s Sicilian Blood Orange Masque as a deep conditioner. The only product that I listed with protein is the Christophe Robin.
Hi Afope, In the ingredients list of a... conditioner/mix product I recently ordered, one of the ingredients listed is "cassia obovata ". I googled this word and found out it has protein. What else can you tell me about this ingredient and the potency of its protein content. And should I follow the products directions about letting it sit on the hair for a minimum of 30 minutes. I have been avoiding proteins since my overload around 2020
I have protein overload. How is Camille rose Moisture milk protein free if it contains rice milk? I need to avoid all proteins why would we use this if it contain proteins
It has algae in it, which could be a protein filled extract but it depends on the specific algae extract so you’ll have to cross check with Camille Rose Naturals themselves
Talking about Camille rose that is protein free well rice by itself have protein and can destroy your hair, I had severely damaged hair because of rice water. A lot of food have protein too which act same as keratin and protein even coconut oil, cloves, fenugreek etc…
Camille Rose Curl love moisture milk has protein in it I just realized it I ordered it used it couldn't understand why my hair was so hard and dry because the products used are supposed to be protein free but if you look on the target web site under the Highlights it says "It's fortified with powerful proteins B,C,E" I'm like omg!
Thank you so much for this. I just discovered my low porosity hair is protein overload. I did a protein treatment and used products with protein and my bleached hair was breaking off. The next day I used shampoo/ condition and cream with no protein and my hair felt soft and curls looked defined. Now.. here’s my question. When do I bring back protein in my hair? I don’t want to have the reverse issue with moisture overload.
Can bring the protein in once a month then twice and include moisturing products (Shampoo, conditioners or Leave-in) rather than more protein based products with your main protein treatment product.
I purchased TRESemme Moisture Rich (7 X more luxurious moisture with Vitamin E) - both the shampoo and conditioner. Would these products be OK for my protein sensitive hair? I actually overloaded on protein for about one month and my hair kept shedding and has become quite thin.😢 I bought all of those products before I saw your videos. Your videos are amazing and helping me understand and decipher labels, although I am so new at this. Thank you for your help.
Aloe vera and the larger proteins (e.g. wheat), seem to cause flash drying in my medium-low porosity hair. So most of the products mentioned are no good for me 😞 could you advise what products, especially stylers, I could use to help fight frizz and get more definition, please?
cuticle does not raise or lower. What occurs is a radial expansion of the cortex that pushes the cuticles, increasing the space between them. This movement is called swelling. No serious scientific literature states that the human hair cuticle can open and close. If you find an article that says this, it is very possible that it was commissioned by a brand to defend its own interests, such as selling products that "seal cuticles" and "balance pH", hair does not have pH but rather pI( isoelectronic point)
I have bought the Giovanni and it has aloe vera which is a protein as well as soybean which is a protein both in the clarifying shampoo and the conditioner?
ugh, im struggling to figure out if my hair has protein overload or is high porosity. It dries quickly when i get out of the shower but even when i put lots of moisturizing ingerdients in it, it dries up after a 2 hours or so :(
@@AfopeAtoyebi yeah, thought that myself but im still confused because I didn't think high porosity hair could dry up that fast after moisturizing. Like i'd probably have to moisturize 3-4 times a day to keep it moisturized which sounds insane lool
but then i read about protein overload and i feel like i might have some of the signs because my hair feels extremely dry and almost like a brillo sponge
Is " glycine soja (soybean) oil " a protein? It's in the very last lines of a product i want to buy but i don't want to harm my hair anymore as I have protein-overload currently ?
I’ve been binge watching your videos because I think I have protein overload 😫I used the Mielle organics Rosemary Mint Strengthening Mask and my hair felt so dry and brittle after. Do you know if that is a protein treatment?
I didn't see any proteins from the deep conditioner as far as I can remember. I don't think it has proteins. It has biotin and henna in it. That's what give it its strengthening properties. A good bunch of people don't like it coz it leaves their hair stiff.
Thank you for making this video! Although, I'm still kind of stuck and confused. I don't know if I have protein overload, moisture overload, need moisture, or need protein. I did the big chop on April 21 so now I have a twa. I don't know what my twa needs though. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure it out. The products that I usually use in my hair are Shea Moisture's Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo and conditioner along with the Mielle Organics Avocado daily moisturizer hair milk but I currently (very recently) am switching to Shea Moisture Low-Porosity Protein-Free Shampoo along with the Shea Moisture Curl and Shine conditioner and the Mielle Organics Protein-Free Mongongo oil conditioner which I use as a deep conditioner (I still use the Mielle Organic Avocado hair milk as a daily moisturizer). I switched products and most of them are protein-free because I was afraid that the reason why my hair is the way it is was because of protein and that I needed moisture, but now I'm really confused. I wash my hair once a week and have only used the new products once so far but I haven't used the shampoo yet though (because I ordered these off of Amazon and the shampoo didn't arrive yet so I replaced it with the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo as a substitute haha). My twa has kind of been crunchy when dry, soft when wet, it has this strange almost (I think) frizz but it's like some hair sticking up straight. It stays like that when my hair is wet and dry. My twa is gets dry and kind of crunchy hours after moisturizing it with Mielle Organic Avocado hair milk that I use everyday. I also want to mention that I sleep with a satin head wrap at night. Does anyone know what I need and what is wrong with my hair? Here's a list of the products I use and my symptoms: PRODUCTS I USE IN MY HAIR -Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo -Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Conditioner -Mielle Organics Avocado Hair Milk NEW HAIR PRODUCTS I RECENTLY BOUGHT -Shea Moisture Low Porosity Protein-Free Shampoo -Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl and Shine Conditioner -Mielle Organics Protein-Free Hydrating Mongongo Oil Condtioner -Mielle Organics Avocado Hair Milk (I've only used these new products once so far though) SYMPTOMS -Hair feels kind of crunchy when dry, even hours after moisturizing with Mielle Organics Avocado Hair Milk - Is soft when wet though -Has that strange type of frizz like thing/ some hair always sticking up straight when wet and dry -I'm not sure if I should include this one but my twa curls aren't very defined either Thank you so much for reading this whole thing! If anyone has any advice, tips, or ideas please let me know. Have an amazing day! :)
Well I am not very good and i’m still trying to learn how to deal with my curls, but I can say that I’ve been using the Shea moisture black castor oil shampoo and conditioner over a year or less and my hair is super dry, even though i moisture my hair like crazy it still looks dry, literally my hair doesn’t last 4 hours because it gets frizzy and dry. I honestly think it has to do with protein because protein overload make ur hair hard, I can’t assure you because I just noticed what was wrong with my shampoo, but I think you need moisture
I wanted to say that i bought the intense hydration mask from Shea moisture to “moisture my hair” and since I had bought it before i didn’t check the ingredients 🤦🏽♀️ it contains protein as well, i’m just saying this so you don’t make the same mistake I did, hope I helped! :)
First consider whether you’re low or high porosity. If you’re low porosity, check to see whether your hair likes coconut oil. If high porosity, you’ll need to follow her how to moisturise high porosity hair video.
I think I have protein overload. Today I used a clarifying shampoo, followed up with the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey Hydrating shampoo, and my hair was fine BUT did the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey hydrating hair mask and my hair is hard, frizzy, and dry. How soon should I start the process of removing proteins?
My hair hates proteins & coconut oil. I use the SoapBox argan oil shampoo/ conditioner. I clarify with cantu shampoo. I DC with TGIN honey mask. N Pantene dry oil.

Afope Atoyebi 🥰I went through Jane Carter’s site and found six products I should be able to use... haven’t ordered yet. With the new lingo I’ve gotta check all my existing Mielle products 👍🏾
So I have a question wouldn't it be a good idea to use a deep conditioner without protein to make sure you do not get protein overload ?
Idk if I’ve commented on this video but I have to say this video is everything. I don’t buy a product without looking at 11:39 and checking each label. I can’t tell you how much I appreciate you
love your video. i'm low porosity my hair does not like aloe vera,coconut, so it is very difficult to find products without them.
Same my hair is low porosity and she HATES coconut oil it’s very hard to find products without it.
Same. I found the kiehls deep conditioner with sunflower oil works well for my hair. My hair loves sunflower oil. Also, Organigrow low porosity hair dew works wonders for my hair. Her cowash was too heavy for my hair, but she has an entire low porosity line that is worth trying.
Same.which products do you like
@@patb2582 Mielle's Pomegranate & Honey line does wonders for my protein sensitive hair.
@@natasha2877 Thanks!
I‘m 2 years late to this video, but nonetheless super grateful to have come across it after I suffered a protein overload yesterday and shipwrecked my curls, not having a clue as to what I did wrong when I applied a keratine mask…😱 I now found out the hard way that my hair has been suffering from protein heavy hair products. So HUGE thanks for taking the time to produce this very (!) informative video! God bless you sis❤
Update: So I tried the As I am mask, and much to my disappointment my hair felt dry when I rinsed it out. Don’t understand what the heck is wrong with my hair?! 😢
As I am has protein in almost every product. I’m the same my hair hates almost anything, only tolerates natural sea moss after clarifying shampoo. I have to get rid of the build up and then use products without any protein. I’m still learning and trying out products.
Girlll I just grabbed a pen and a notebook and clicked that subscribe button!! Your videos are EVERYTHING, they are really teaching me a lot. I recently just went thru a protein overload and watched one of your videos and got rid of the problem ASAP😩 I have low porosity hair and I’m trying to get my hair more healthy so it’ll be able to grow and I trust your videos to do that. Thank you so much!!!😘
Your videos are great in teaching on protein overload and how to avoid it. I'm a little frustrated that biotin and coconut oil aren't mentioned as proteins to avoid. I understand coconut oil isn't technically a protein, however, it holds on to the proteins in our hair. I've been searching and searching..and searchinggggggg for products without any hidden proteins, waxes, biotin, or coconut to no avail. There should be a product somewhere in this universe that removes protein from the hair without adding more to it and without adding ingredients that hold on to the protein we are already trying to remove. Why does almost every hair product contain protein? It kinda sounds like a set up. "Make them think their hair is dry when really it's just protein overload to make them buy more of our moisture products that still contain hidden protein to make them need a clarifying shampoo that says it removes product buildup so it can add more protein"... Can you hear my frustration? 😆 Is anyone else besides me tired of spending money on all of these products only to have them sit in a drawer unused?? 😣 There's gotta be a better solution to all of this. Your videos have been helpful. 🙏
I feel ya. I'm here to find a protein free product. My hair has been dry for ages now, and breaking. No matter what I was using. Then I checked all my shampoos and hair masks, and they all had protein and hidden protein. So I used only products that didn't have any last night and my hair is soft as baby hair. 🥹🥹 It's not easy to find them tho.
@@md.md16 Can you share the products you use?
@@MISSYMINX261 Maui shampoo, Avalon apple cider vinegar shampoo. At the moment. Faith in nature hair masks don't contain protein either. One has to check all the ingredients when buying a hair product, anything that has protein, or hydrolyzed anything, collagen, even coconut oil, they're not good for low porosity hair.
@@md.md16 thank you!
Girlll. I could start a store with the products I have. I’m tirrrreedddTttt😢😢😢😢
I just found a hair Guru, I think I love you already.
You are THE BOMB! Thank you SO MUCH for being brief, for explaining things so perfectly, for being classy and not using crass language, and for being absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I’m about to get a perm and I have color treated, fairly dry hair. I’ve been doing extra conditioning to prepare, but not getting luxurious results (using Shea Moisturizing intensive hydration masque). I’m thinking it might be too much protein. One week before the perm, I’m getting a conditioning treatment at the salon, but I think it will contain keratin (ugh, protein, yes?) I would be most beholden for any advice! Love you! Thanks again!
Love your enthusiasm! I could listen to you all day
Very clear and helpful. I’m now looking at the ingredient lists and comparing with the notes I took from your videos....saves me lots of hair disasters and wasted money. Thanks so much!!!
I have found my high-porosity queen ..... and I am not letting GO!!!! Thank you
Thanks girl 😂😂
Since I started following you my hair has done a 180 degrees. So hydrated, moisturized and finally growing . Very fast which was never my case. Thank you
What type of hair do you have? Also what products have worked for you so far?
What products have you been using ??
At last ! A brit that can help with hair knowlage and recemondations 🤗🤗🤗
Thank you for making this video. I just realized my hair does not like protein and I needed to find products with no protein in them, and now I know what to look for in the ingredients.
Wow! My hair just fell out (about 20% of all my hair) due to the rice water protein treatment. I already used my Cantu leave-in & curling cream. BUT n however, I wasn’t expecting this vid to be as helpful as it was... I checked the leave-in as u were talking about how to identify proteins n BAM noted twice in the list: Hydrolized wheat protein & hydro..protein PG-propyl.. OMG! Now I see why I keep having hair issues. I haven’t been paying attention to detail. Had no idea rice water had so much protein (fermented for 2 weeks 😖) & then the ingredients in my products add fuel to the fire! Girl... #subscribing!! Thanks sooo much!
Wow! So glad I could help! And welcome 🥳💃🏾
i jUst read all my ingredients too and recently bought the cantu curling cream. it seems like ALL my products have some form of protein, and my hair is so prone to breakage and brittleness. big whoops lmao 🥴
I fermented for two weeks too! Ughhh. Girl, I MESSED UP! Tangles and dryness galoreeeee.
CB - girl noooo 😩
What have you done to fix your protein overload?? I still have it from rice water too...
Just wanted to say a big thank you! I didn’t realize I had protein overload. I bought the Giovanni 50:50 shampoo and conditioner. I already had the Camille Rose moisture milk and I also used uncle funky’s curly magic. I had great results with this routine and will continue to watch out for too much protein! Thanks so much for sharing! God bless you 💕
Does the Camille rose milk have protein ? I can’t have protein in my hair at all it’s so overloaded but I need a good
Moisture leave in after the shower cuz it’s soooo unmanageable, ugh. Makes me cry
Hi.. I found u in January when I managed to put my hair into protein overload something Awful. I had never herd of protein overload until I used a keratin hair dye. I had no clue what I had actually done till I found your videos. Then it all made sense.. Thank You. 😊
I had been making progress with getting back to normal until I used the Hydration Elation. Now I'm back to square one. I used the Sally beauty supply site to read the ingredient list. It didn't have the Betaine In there at All. So I used it. My hair was a straw mess right afterwards. I went to the as I am page and found that Betaine was the 3rd ingredient.I cried😢. I noticed you made this video 3yrs ago.. that's plenty of time for the company to reformulate it. I dunno.. Maybe Betaine isn't too much for just low porosity hair.. but my overload hair hated it. I wanted to let u know this since it's on the list of protein free products. Thank you for your videos..😊
One of the best videos I've watched, soooo detailed and helpful. I also like that fact that you went through the stress of giving us examples of products and the little protein lecture!!! For those us of just starting our hair journey we say thank you. Pls sometimes chip in some tips and recommendations for relaxed hair girls like me. Great job👏👏👏
Thank you so much! I'm glad it was helpful. I may just have to do a series for relaxed hair because we're all out here and we all need the tips!
I didn’t see any of those ingredients in the products I have now and I’m going to start using the products you suggested for my low porosity hair but I don’t like to waste products. I’m a junkie I’ll admit but I’m trying to get down to one of everything from the shampoo to the moisturizer. So until I can get to the products you mentioned, which product as far as a cream do you think would be best for my med dense, low porosity semi grey hair. Shea moisture curl enhancing smoothie or African prides moisture miracle curling cream? Also, I have been using suave rosemary and mint shampoo and conditioner and suave daily clarifying shampoo when I need to clarify. What do you think of those? ❤❤❤❤ I I would really appreciate the help. Learning my hair has been a long and exhausting process. Thanking you in advance
It's funny! I'm now seeing the mess I've been making mixing protein and protein-free products without realizing how much protein overload I've been creating.
very informative ! just put my hair into braids that'll stay for a couple of months , but i look forward to implement the use of more protein-free products in hopes my hair won't be so darn hard and rough
Great video. Very informative. I am still so confused. I've been searching for weeks for protein free products. Can't find them. Many have aloe in it. Isn't aloe protein?
I destroyed my hair with the aloe leaf and oil mistures, aloe vera oil and coconut oil. My hair is damaged. Super brittle because of the protein over load.
My hair doesn't react well to Shea Moisture or certain Cream of Nature pmixtures,
My scalp actually developed small scabs and itch horribly when I use coconut oil. I am going to try the Treseme clarifying and shampoo you've suggested.
June 2024. Hello, three years later:). Aloe vera confuses me too. I have read that it is a protein, I have read that it ACTS LIKE A PROTEIN. I think the form of aloe vera (juice, gel, powder) may have something to do with it? I'm sitting here right now with rough, dry hair and I think it is due to my use of aloe vera juice as a spritz after deep conditioning. I'm going to drop that and start over with a protein free regimen to find my baseline. I hope you resolved your hair situation. I read on Afope's RUclips community page that she was transitioning to TikTok, but I cannot remember the date.
girl as soon as you said “hair specialist” i subbed🤝💕
Hahahaha Thanks Girl! 😂🥰 Welcome, welcome ☺️
I didn't realize I had protein sensitive hair until I tried the olaplex #3 I believe, at home treatment. And it was the legitimate olaplex too. My hair got so tangled and broke off...it was crazy!!🤯
I bought the entire line #1-7 because it worked great on my clients (I’m a cosmetologist ) and it RUINED my low porosity hair!! Worst decision ever.
FYI olaplex is not a protein. It’s a bond builder, but it sure does feel like a protein!! 😒🤨
Im so sorry that happened to you to!! And yea I know its not an actual protein treatment. Which is why I wanted to try it, thinking it wouldn't hurt my hair. I have high porosity bleached and chemically treated hair. And I couldn't believe it 😟 I hope you got your hair lined back out ❤
Same happened to me!
@@Xoxmickey05 I thought it was just me! Olaplex caused great damage/ hair set back. I am still recovering. First thing I had to do was then shampoo with a clarifying shampoo to strip the protein out. Following with moisturing shampoo and deep conditioner. I also cut two inches off. It too about 3 months to recover🤬!!!
Girl I am soooo glad I found your channel!!!
•Miche Beauty Cleansed Shampoo •Miche Indulge Deep Condirioner •Camille Rose Aloe Whipped Butter Gel (leave-in/moisturized). I love using the Giovanni 50:50 Conditoner as a pre shampoo detangler. I haven’t used the gels she mentioned but am hoping to try them soon to help retain moisture in my hair thank you for your film forming humectant video!
did it work out? hows your hair now?
You are truly talented and it’s so refreshing to watch your channel with its good balance of professionalism & humour! Thank you! Can I please ask a personal question? Have you always had that hair texture or is it due to genetic factors? It’s absolutely gorgeous! I’ve recently ruined & damaged my hair (rice water overload gone wrong leaving a brittle thirsty texture) so I truly welcome your advice as I desperately try to restore moisture into my 4c high porosity hair type!
Thank you so much, Tanya! Yes my hair has always been this texture - suuuuuper coilyyyy. My Mum's hair is like this too. Ahhh, rice water overload is a bummer. It saddens me because LOTS of people are trying it without having information about how it can go wrong and then ending up with brittle hair. 😫
I’m on the cusp of shaving it all off. Before I take drastic measures do you think I should cleanse my scalp and then deep condition with less/non-protein products to rebalance and get mo-mo-moisture?
Love your videos so much, they are so informative!
Could you do a video about hair that gets easily over moisturized and about what to avoid? I think there is quite a few of us having this kind of issues 🙈
You know your hair!! Want to thank you for giving true information . I do have a question if you would be able to help . My hair has shrunk so tight to my scalp and I cannot pull it loose . It just shrinks right back up soon as it dries a bit. Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks for making this video I've been having a hard time finding the right products
What about how all those film forming humectants act in humidity or air conditioned environments?
Absolutely loved the way you presented the information. I am currently experiencing this issue. I really needed this video to help me become more knowledgeable and aware. Before finding your video, I had spent the better part of the night researching. Thank you for the clear speech, bright lit video, and the information.
Alikay Avocado moisturizing conditioner, TGIN honey hair mask, Cream of Nature Argan moisturizing shampoo, and My Black is Beautiful shampoo. I am not sure about some of these. Also the Curl Junkie shampoo.
Hiya! Thank you so much! And these additions are great! 💛
OMG i am loving your channel! Learning so much. Thank you! 😘
Yaaaay! 🥳 So glad 💃🏾
Thank you! My hair has been looking awful lately and I truly suspect it's due to protein overload. I'm going to try some of these recommendations. Thanks for breaking them down by type I was having trouble finding good lists elsewhere.
Thank you for the Giovanni 50 50 recommendation. I bought it in my local grocery store. I love it! I have fine damaged hair. It’s the perfect gentle clarifying shampoo
I am very joyful today. Thank you!
Have you tried the Camille rose coconut water leave in? Would you recommend it? Apparently it’s a slightly better version of the knot today. I bought the curl milk but thinking of getting the coconut leave in also.
I have, I actually really liked it and agree it is very similar to knot today but in my opinion not better. KK Knot today has been my staple for years. My Low porosity hair also enjoyed Shea Moisture silicon free miracle styler and Mielle Organics Pink Peony. Hope that helps!
I found the coconut water far too light and thus ineffective. It does soften though
Thank you. Great vid. No other recommendations for deep conditioners?.
Thanks very informative love your channel ❤
Girl let me tell you, I just tried a shea moisture 2 in 1 African black soap and tea tree oil, it’s only 7.99 I believe, it’s in the men’s section i found it at Walmart! This is amazing! No protein, would be perfect for the weeks that you don’t clarify and it’s affordable! Bam!! Thankyou for teaching me to read ingredients! That’s how I found it! Lol
Yesss Girl! Thanks for sharing this 🥰🙏🏽
Afope Atoyebi no problem at all! I really love that you actually respond to us on here!!
I just bought a Camille Rose set and am very excited to try it!
I haven't tried all of their products but all the ones I've tried are so so good
Thank you for your video.
It mades soo much sence. However, coming from the UK it can be difficult to get some products or its really expensive. Any chance you could help us protein sensitive people with more information on protein free mouse products. Thank you. 😊
As soon as this video started and you said your a scalp-ologist (lol see how I did that) I subbed. You're a black! Woman! Also anddddd you're high porosity like me so I'm definitely about to watch your vids now
Hahahha Thanks girl! Welcome welcome!
I hope it’s not too much to ask because I know you don’t have my hair type but I’m struggling!! Can you do a video on products and tips for low porosity, protein sensitive 4c hair???? Please I’m dying over here sis😩😩😩
Hey Girl! Don’t worry it’s not too much to ask. I did a video on deep conditioning low porosity hair ... it’s not much but it’s a start and I think you may find it helpful in the meantime, whilst I work on other low-po content?
Afope Atoyebi I just watched it but I’m going to watch it a few times. So I can apply your suggestions to my shopping cart. But I was trying to decipher what was for my hair type and porosity level
Hi
i love your channel. I have been so distressed....due to one of my issues is protein overload.....and my hair has been falling out..since id say a few months...i watched your products...and today im going to ulta to get something.
i need your advice for the best protein free for blonde...fine hair...a shampoo, conditioner...and leave in...or whatever you think....
im soooooo upset thats its a result of olaplex...and the last products in the last few years....releases........
ive been an advocate for the brand....
and i need help to help me.......really.....this is what is causing all my hair to fall out...from the follicle......they took a biopsy and its not alopecia areata or that at all.....
.i had all the blood tests..and my derm runs the hair clinic.. in chicago...they called me...and asked if i heard of olaplex...and i freaked out. I said i only use olaplex...everything in the line........ SHe has too many people coming in with the same product.. and they called me!!!!!!!!!..OMGOMGOMG........that it was from the last several new releases..
pleeeeeez write me... if you read this.....i need to get products today....NO PROTEIN.......thank you....
🙌🏽 yes!!!🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣 I would love to see a series.
Some of the products have aloe Vera and coconut oil which you said in a previous video to avoid if you have protein overload. So now I’m super confused😩 I have products that contain aloe Vera and coconut oil, can I keep using them?😬
Me too! I'm so confused by all this conflicting information about coconut oil and aloe vera. Sometimes I hear people say they're like protein and leave a layer on top of low porosity hair and therefore you should avoid them. But then they're also constantly being recommended as super hydrating, especially for low porosity or finer hair 😩
possibly really stupid question, but I stumbled over the marshmallow in the last two products (kinky curly curling custard and the camille rose one); Isn't marshmallow mostly egg whites and that is basically pure protein?
let me know what you think! thanks so much for the awesome video!!
Yes
Hi their I love your video! And a Merry Christmas and happy new year! Can you use to much protein shampoo on your hair? That’s all I seem to use, but my hair is a bit snappy?
Hi hun good video ..ive got relaxed hair but it's so hard to find products that are not for curly hair..or protein or silicone free ..any recommendations please ..would the camile rose moisture milk be good ?? Thanks 😁 I've subscribed 👍👍
Kinky curly is not strong enough for my hair so in use wetline extreme gel....flaxseed gel has protein right????????
Thank you so much for making this video. Have you tried the Giovanni leave in conditioner? Any thoughts on it for low porosity. New subbie. Just discovered your channel ☺️.
Love this video!! Please can we have a video of sulfates!!
Thanks love! 💛Fun fact: this was the FIRST EVER VIDEO I filmed for this channel, but it was 23 minutes of pure talking and SO BORING - my goodness, it had to go 😂. Thankfully, I've had some time to improve my videos, and I've been itching to talk about it, so I think it's about time I put it back on the content schedule.
Afope Atoyebi yay please do! Can’t wait to watch
Thank you so much! I have 2c/3a course hair and after over moisturizing I try to keep in balance.
You are so welcome!
Thank You Thank You For this video I have been looking for protein free products forever!
Very informative.saw you by chance.lovingg you videos.please i will be looking out for them
Hi, please can you let me know if aloe Vera juice in products counts as a protein? I’ve seen a few reviews saying aloe products have given women protein overload. Thank you x
did you ever find out the answer? my hair is protein sensitive but i want to try the giovanni 50/50 products but they contain aloe
@@mariaasmrr Yes, Aloe Vera can be damaging to protein sensitive hair (I found out the hard way) but it’s also dependent on the usage. I was using this product that contained Aloe Vera daily 🙄😩…Now I only use products with a natural protein on a monthly basis. X
Yes
Oyin Hair Dew leave-in is great for us low porosity girls all year round
Kinky Curl Leave in have protein in it? Isn’t marshmallow root and slippery elm considered protein? I’m trying to get rid of protein overload would that help or make matters worse?
Quick question: Is Betaine an amino acid? and If so, than it's a protein correct? It's listed as an ingredient in the Giovanni 50:50 Balanced Shampoo on the website in your link. Just want to be sure before I buy. My hair is VERY protein sensitive. Thanks for all your other suggestions! Love your channel!
Wow if you’re that protein sensitive.. then what products do you use that works ?????
@@mizzmiami3242 Right now I'm using Shea Moisture Raw Shea Butter Moisture Retention Shampoo and Jessicurl Deep Conditioning Treatment in Citrus Lavender. Haven't been able to find a styling product that doesn't weigh down my hair yet.
@@bridgetwareham1542 how have those products worked out for your hair? im very protein sensitive also.
I'm in protein overload right now. The Betaine In Hydration Elation set me back something Awful 😢. I'm not sure if the Hydration Elation has changed over the years since this video.. but Betaine is the 3rd ingredient now. I'm right back where I started in January. I don't know if amino acids affects low porosity hair differently than those in protein overload.. but it wasn't good for my overload hair. 😢
I have an issue with the As I Am Hydration Elation DC because it has coconut oil. I try to eliminate proteins as well as coconut oil. Even though coconut oil isn’t a protein, I don’t want to take my chances. What are your thoughts on aloe vera and low porosity hair? That’s another ingredient that I refrain from. I enjoy your videos because they are educational. These are like no other videos.
Aww thank youuuu . Aloe vera CAN be problematic for low porosity hair because of it's amino content. But this is not always the case.
So what hair products do you use?
Mizzmiami 32 I do like using African Pride when my hair has been in twists for several months and African Pride has aloe vera. I just have to make sure to wash it out immediately. I’m a product junkie so I don’t have many staples. Currently, the staple product that I have is Proline Wave Gel. It’s high in glycerin, which my hair loves. I like Softee hair grease to use as a sealant. I like using Christophe Robin Cleansing Thickening Paste Shampoo for Men. I like Not Your Mother’s Sicilian Blood Orange Masque as a deep conditioner. The only product that I listed with protein is the Christophe Robin.
Hi Afope,
In the ingredients list of a... conditioner/mix product I recently ordered, one of the ingredients listed is "cassia obovata ". I googled this word and found out it has protein. What else can you tell me about this ingredient and the potency of its protein content. And should I follow the products directions about letting it sit on the hair for a minimum of 30 minutes. I have been avoiding proteins since my overload around 2020
Can you help me my hair doesn’t Like protein and its fine not curly What shampoo is good ?
Hello, is there a eco style gel without protein ?
I have protein overload. How is Camille rose Moisture milk protein free if it contains rice milk? I need to avoid all proteins why would we use this if it contain proteins
This was so helpful, thank you! I saw a video that stated the Camille Rose Algae Renew Deep Conditioning Mask was protein free, can you confirm?
It has algae in it, which could be a protein filled extract but it depends on the specific algae extract so you’ll have to cross check with Camille Rose Naturals themselves
Talking about Camille rose that is protein free well rice by itself have protein and can destroy your hair, I had severely damaged hair because of rice water. A lot of food have protein too which act same as keratin and protein even coconut oil, cloves, fenugreek etc…
Great video, I think a protein series would be good.
Loading!
Looking forward to it.
The Kinky Curly Curling Custard has aloe vera juice as a top ingredient. Doesn’t aloe vera contain protein?
Camille Rose Curl love moisture milk has protein in it I just realized it I ordered it used it couldn't understand why my hair was so hard and dry because the products used are supposed to be protein free but if you look on the target web site under the Highlights it says "It's fortified with powerful proteins B,C,E" I'm like omg!
Are these recommendations only aimed towards type 3+4 hair or could some of them work to help my very dry wavy-to-straight hair?
Hey Love! I bought the Tresemme shampoo for my protein sensitive hair, but on the back I read that there’s biotin in it. Isn’t biotin a protein?
Thank you so much for this. I just discovered my low porosity hair is protein overload. I did a protein treatment and used products with protein and my bleached hair was breaking off. The next day I used shampoo/ condition and cream with no protein and my hair felt soft and curls looked defined. Now.. here’s my question. When do I bring back protein in my hair? I don’t want to have the reverse issue with moisture overload.
Can bring the protein in once a month then twice and include moisturing products (Shampoo, conditioners or Leave-in) rather than more protein based products with your main protein treatment product.
what shampoo/conditioner did you use that had no protein?
I purchased TRESemme Moisture Rich (7 X more luxurious moisture with Vitamin E) - both the shampoo and conditioner. Would these products be OK for my protein sensitive hair? I actually overloaded on protein for about one month and my hair kept shedding and has become quite thin.😢 I bought all of those products before I saw your videos. Your videos are amazing and helping me understand and decipher labels, although I am so new at this. Thank you for your help.
Awww thanks Almetra 😊 Does the moisture rich have proteins in it? Have you used it yet? How did your hair respond? Soooo many questions
Aloe vera and the larger proteins (e.g. wheat), seem to cause flash drying in my medium-low porosity hair. So most of the products mentioned are no good for me 😞 could you advise what products, especially stylers, I could use to help fight frizz and get more definition, please?
Hate aloe💯💯
I keep buying that black gel....
I think that's why my hair is so brittle
cuticle does not raise or lower. What occurs is a radial expansion of the cortex that pushes the cuticles, increasing the space between them. This movement is called swelling. No serious scientific literature states that the human hair cuticle can open and close. If you find an article that says this, it is very possible that it was commissioned by a brand to defend its own interests, such as selling products that "seal cuticles" and "balance pH", hair does not have pH but rather pI( isoelectronic point)
I just bought the Giovanni 50/50 and I looked at the back of it and it has aloe vera as well as soybean they're both proteins?
Hiya,
I see the Camille rose curl love moisture milk has rice protein in it. Doesn’t this count as protein? Thank you!
Yep
I have bought the Giovanni and it has aloe vera which is a protein as well as soybean which is a protein both in the clarifying shampoo and the conditioner?
ugh, im struggling to figure out if my hair has protein overload or is high porosity. It dries quickly when i get out of the shower but even when i put lots of moisturizing ingerdients in it, it dries up after a 2 hours or so :(
Sounds like high porosity hair to me - why do you think it has protein overload?
Does the product seem to soak into your hair or sit on it?
@@AfopeAtoyebi yeah, thought that myself but im still confused because I didn't think high porosity hair could dry up that fast after moisturizing. Like i'd probably have to moisturize 3-4 times a day to keep it moisturized which sounds insane lool
@@AfopeAtoyebi honestly, I'm not too sure but I think it soaks in more
but then i read about protein overload and i feel like i might have some of the signs because my hair feels extremely dry and almost like a brillo sponge
Please help! Where in England can I buy the Giovani 50/50 clarifying shampoo.. I don't see any online (i.e boots).
Where did you purchase yours?
Great info thanks girl ❤
on the topic of gels, the Garnier Curl Scrunch Gel is protein free!
Thank you sooo much! Subscribed! You are smart and Adorable! Will be watching all your videos:)
I can’t wait to use your suggestions and check out more of your videos !
Thanks Kayla!
You're so pretty @Kayla
❤️
@@yoursnottruly Aw thanks so much Fabi! 💕
Wouldn’t film forming humectants make hair dry in a dry climate?
So informative thank you!
Is " glycine soja (soybean) oil " a protein? It's in the very last lines of a product i want to buy but i don't want to harm my hair anymore as I have protein-overload currently ?
Yes, anything that says soy or soybean is a protein
What about the Giovanni leave in????
Do u think the as I am deep conditioner is good for wavy to straight hair?
Is giovanni shampoo just for clarifying ?
Because I want to use every week
xtreme Gel and lotta body mousse is great for us Low Porosity gals too
Yes to the protein challenge
I’ve been binge watching your videos because I think I have protein overload 😫I used the Mielle organics Rosemary Mint Strengthening Mask and my hair felt so dry and brittle after. Do you know if that is a protein treatment?
Haven’t read the ingredients but froM the word strengthening it definitely contains some form of protein
I didn't see any proteins from the deep conditioner as far as I can remember. I don't think it has proteins. It has biotin and henna in it. That's what give it its strengthening properties. A good bunch of people don't like it coz it leaves their hair stiff.
@@khanyisilebotshelo8362 yea that’s what I heard from others too
Thank you for making this video! Although, I'm still kind of stuck and confused. I don't know if I have protein overload, moisture overload, need moisture, or need protein. I did the big chop on April 21 so now I have a twa. I don't know what my twa needs though. I was wondering if anyone could help me figure it out. The products that I usually use in my hair are Shea Moisture's Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo and conditioner along with the Mielle Organics Avocado daily moisturizer hair milk but I currently (very recently) am switching to Shea Moisture Low-Porosity Protein-Free Shampoo along with the Shea Moisture Curl and Shine conditioner and the Mielle Organics Protein-Free Mongongo oil conditioner which I use as a deep conditioner (I still use the Mielle Organic Avocado hair milk as a daily moisturizer). I switched products and most of them are protein-free because I was afraid that the reason why my hair is the way it is was because of protein and that I needed moisture, but now I'm really confused. I wash my hair once a week and have only used the new products once so far but I haven't used the shampoo yet though (because I ordered these off of Amazon and the shampoo didn't arrive yet so I replaced it with the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo as a substitute haha). My twa has kind of been crunchy when dry, soft when wet, it has this strange almost (I think) frizz but it's like some hair sticking up straight. It stays like that when my hair is wet and dry. My twa is gets dry and kind of crunchy hours after moisturizing it with Mielle Organic Avocado hair milk that I use everyday. I also want to mention that I sleep with a satin head wrap at night. Does anyone know what I need and what is wrong with my hair? Here's a list of the products I use and my symptoms:
PRODUCTS I USE IN MY HAIR
-Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Shampoo
-Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Conditioner
-Mielle Organics Avocado Hair Milk
NEW HAIR PRODUCTS I RECENTLY BOUGHT
-Shea Moisture Low Porosity Protein-Free Shampoo
-Shea Moisture Coconut and Hibiscus Curl and Shine Conditioner
-Mielle Organics Protein-Free Hydrating Mongongo Oil Condtioner
-Mielle Organics Avocado Hair Milk
(I've only used these new products once so far though)
SYMPTOMS
-Hair feels kind of crunchy when dry, even hours after moisturizing with Mielle Organics Avocado Hair Milk
- Is soft when wet though
-Has that strange type of frizz like thing/ some hair always sticking up straight when wet and dry
-I'm not sure if I should include this one but my twa curls aren't very defined either
Thank you so much for reading this whole thing! If anyone has any advice, tips, or ideas please let me know. Have an amazing day! :)
Well I am not very good and i’m still trying to learn how to deal with my curls, but I can say that I’ve been using the Shea moisture black castor oil shampoo and conditioner over a year or less and my hair is super dry, even though i moisture my hair like crazy it still looks dry, literally my hair doesn’t last 4 hours because it gets frizzy and dry. I honestly think it has to do with protein because protein overload make ur hair hard, I can’t assure you because I just noticed what was wrong with my shampoo, but I think you need moisture
I wanted to say that i bought the intense hydration mask from Shea moisture to “moisture my hair” and since I had bought it before i didn’t check the ingredients 🤦🏽♀️ it contains protein as well, i’m just saying this so you don’t make the same mistake I did, hope I helped! :)
@@Soft6371 Thank you so much, I really appreciate it!
First consider whether you’re low or high porosity. If you’re low porosity, check to see whether your hair likes coconut oil. If high porosity, you’ll need to follow her how to moisturise high porosity hair video.
You’re probably low porosity hair seeing as your hair is quite short so make sure you’re deep conditioning with heat.
I think I have protein overload. Today I used a clarifying shampoo, followed up with the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey Hydrating shampoo, and my hair was fine BUT did the Shea Moisture Manuka Honey hydrating hair mask and my hair is hard, frizzy, and dry. How soon should I start the process of removing proteins?
They Manuka honey mask has protein. You can moisturize with protein free products during the week abs during your next wash day use a protein free dc
@@teeeee9174 yes. I realized this after watching so many videos 😔. Wish I would've known before. Thanks for the tips
