I NEED PROTIEN

So I realized that as of late my hair just has not been feeling the way it normally does, Ive also been getting alot more breakage than usual. My fave protein treatment is not available in the stores near my house, and I always forget to get it when I go to Sallys so I've been without it for awhile. After scouring the net last night, I decided to go with Nexxus Emergencee.

• Washed with Redken Real Control Shampoo
• Rinsed
• Applied Nexxus Emergencee
• Sat under soft bonnet dryer until it dried
• Rinsed
• Applied Redken Real Control Intense Renewal Mask
• Steamed for 30 minutes under soft bonnet dryer

After rinsing the Emergencee from my hair, I could immediately feel a difference! The product doesn't get rock hard like Aphogee, it isn't runny and smelly either. Overall I am very satisfied with my purchase and I will add this to my staple products.

PLEASE REMEMBER!
• Hair is 98% Keratin (protein) and 2% water

•Chemical services and heat usage breaks down, and damages your hair, so it needs to be replaced in order to keep your hair strong enough to withstand day to day damage.

• You better have a damned good MOISTURIZING Deep Conditioner to balance your hair back out. If this isn't done, you'll have hard hair that snaps off VERY easily. Not a pretty sight.

• If your hair is already snapping off very easily go for a MOISTURE DEEP CONDITIONER first. Your breakage may very well be from moisture deficiency.

•When starting to take better care of your hair, pay attention to what your hair really needs at the time. You aren't going to need an intense protein every time, you may only need a mild protein, or even moisture. Start on the mild side and assess your needs from
there

•Protein overload can be a nightmare to correct (or so I've read), so it's best to find out just how much protein your hair can handle for jumping straight into uncertain waters.

RELAXED LADIES:

Protein is especially important for you hotties! You should use a protein TREATMENT 1 week before your relaxer. This will help you experience less breakage at relaxer time.

HONORABLE MENTIONS:
INTENSE:

• Roux Mendex Hair Repair Treatment
• Aphogee 2 Step Treatment for Damaged Hair
• Eggs

MILD:
• Mane and Tail Conditioner

LEAVE IN:
• Infuisum 23

morton's iodized salt


LOTS OF RAVES OF ADDING A TEASPOON OF THIS TO ABOUT 8-10 OZS OF CONDITIONER ONCE A MONTH, THE RESULTS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE SMOOTH SHINEY MOISTURIZED HAIR... I TRIED IT WHEN THE CRAZE FIRST BEGAN BUT IT WAS ONLY A HANDFUL OF LTR IN THE SHOWER WITH A PINCH OF SALT ONLY ON THE ENDS OF MY HAIR, AND IT WAS REALLY SLIPPERY... WE SHALL SEE HOW MY WHOLE HEAD ACTS... I'LL ADD THE SALT TO MY AUSSIE, APPLY TO DRY HAIR AND LEAVE ON UNDER A PLASTIC CAP FOR AN HOUR, AND THEN MAYBE UNDER THE DRYER FOR 10 MORE MINUTES... WISH ME LUCK!! I WILL REPORT BACK WITH RESULTS SOON
OK LADIES... I TRIED IT AND IT DIDNT WORK FOR ME!! MY HAIR WAS HEAVY AS ALL GET OUT THOUGH (WHICH I LIKED).. I ADDED A TEASPOON TO ALOT OF CONDITIONER. MY AUSSIE GOT REALLY REALLY THICK!!! WHICH I THOUGHT WOULD BE A GOOD THING... I USED IT WITH HEAT COVERED IN A PLASTIC BAGGY FOR ABOUT AN HOUR...IT DIDNT CAUSE ANY HARM TO MY HAIR (THANK GOD) BUT I THINK IT STRIPPED MY SLIP! AND IT WASNT HARD TO DETANGLE BUT MY HAIR FELT A LOT ROUGHER THAN USUAL. IT WAS WEIRD. IF I TRY IT AGAIN IT WILL BE WITH HERBAL ESSENCES LTR IN A COWASH LIKE LAST TIME... AFTER THIS DEBATICLE WITH SALT I CO-WASHED THE NEXT MORNING WITH AUSSIE AND ROLLERSET MY HAIR (PICS ON THE WAY).. TIS ALL
