This is amazing. My mind is blown. I have literally been doing everything wrong with my hair... Before, my hair was dry and frizzy, so I went overboard with sulfate-free, curly girl-this, coconut oil-that, and now my hair is dry, frizzy, AND damaged and brittle. I'm going to have to change things up.
This actually works. My hair has been so brittle and extra tangly. After looking at my products…I realized they all contain some type of protein; even the leave in😭. My hair has been breaking so much but I tried this with the garnier whole blends honey shampoo listed in the description and I got barely any breakage. Thanks for this info because I was getting frustrated with my hair
HEY!! PLEASE RESPOND..... How is you're hair now? I've had so many issues with may hair these last 5 months, such as tangling, have you resolved this issue? Did you need to cut off any hair? I hope i don't have to
Protein removal Process; Rinse hair with warm water Wash with Pantene repair and protect Pour hot water on a towel and cover hair with towel for 3 minutes Rinse hair As I am hydration elation deep conditioner for 30 min (or any protein free conditioner)
Can I just say that I love you? I recently experienced protein overload, started doing some research and stumbled upon you. You gave so may helpful tips that I never would have thought of, but make so much sense! This is the information I've been needing for so long, and I've been learning from TH-cam since forever, no one video has been this informational and accurate. Thank you! A Forever Subscriber.
OMG! You just saved me! I combed my locs out 3 months ago and have been a loose natural! I was locked for 15 yrs and prior to that I had chemical hair since I was 15! So, I am discovering my hair and yesterday I did a protein overload!!!!!!! I shampooed, did a mask, conditioner and leave in with protein products! I just didn't know! And now, my hair is crunchy!!!! And on top of that, I though aloe was protein free so I drenched my hair with aloe thinking it will increase moisture!!!! SMH at myself! Thank you so very much!!!!! You are so appreciated! :-) I absolutely love your videos!!! :-)
Thank you so so much. After years of being natural, I have only recently discovered that all the added protein in products has caused major issues for my hair.
Same thing happened to me,lost so much hair, but thanks to youtube and creators I got my hair nearly to normal and my curl pattern is back,it's shrinking again thank god
How long did it take for your hair to recover. Me and my daughter has protein overload. My hair has been falling out for some time. I’m dont mind cutting, it but I feel like its so dry and tangly and doesn’t feel smooth. I think all of my products have “hidden” proteins so I need to throw them out and start over with protein free products.
How long did it take !! What are your methods. I’m struggling really bad with protein overload from having keratin tip extensions and applying a whole ton of protein while having them in my hair and it is fried !!!!!!
Thank you thank you thank you!! This video stopped me from cutting my hair off because I thought it wasn’t fixable. Your science based approach is so appreciated.
Wow, thank you so much for this scientific information! I'm a chemical engineer myself, so I really like the scientific background about how to break down protein in your hair. You've got yourself a new subscriber! 😉😉😉 Greetz from Holland 🇳🇱 👋🏾👋🏾👋🏾
Not only do I really want to win the giveaway, can I share some appreciation. Over the years I have learnt little things about my hair but you have really helped me to understand what it all means. I really appreciate how you break it down and the visual aids are so helpful! Respect and love x
Afope! Girl! This video solved a problem I was having for YEARS and it wasn't even the protein problem. I went natural in 2008 and quickly did away with the harsh sulfates (lauryls) and then eventually away with them all. Little did I know that was the start of my scalp/hair problems. It is not a good thing to be a product junkie and not use sulfates. I just could never get my scalp and roots clean even using sulfate free clarifying shampoos, lathering twice, letting it sit for minutes. I produce a lot of heavy waxy sebum so my roots were always sticky. Anyway, I recently decided I was returning to sulfates (I use heavy silicones) but even the sulfate shampoos didn't seem to clean my hair like they used to back in the day. I saw this video and it made me realize the sulfate shampoos I was using were sodium LAURETH. I used to use Pantene Relaxed and Natural exclusively back in the day and I think that even had ammonium lauryl sulfate and I never had any issues with it. I went out and bought a bottle of Pantene Truly Natural (they no longer make the Relaxed and Natural in one bottle) with sodium lauryl and let me tell you! My hair hasn't felt this clean in years! I only needed one lather to achieve this. My scalp and roots aren't gunky and my hair is soft. I can't stop touching it. Also, I used a leave in that I previously thought was just ok and it worked even better. I'm still in shock. I feel like I can finally stop fearing buildup of any kind now. I was buying all kinds of expensive scalp treatments, shampoos, herbs, etc. and all they did was dry my hair out and still leave my hair unclean. All I needed was a cheap $5 bottle of sodium LAURYL. 😆 Thanks girl!
Second time watching this video because I got protein overload again 😭 I used s leave in+curling cream with lots of protein, then my hair was hard to touch so I decided to wash it again with a clarified full of protein shampoo (another mistake), then I was not happy enough with my mistakes to I decided to use a protein deep conditioner with heat and leave it for more then the right time. After all of that my hair was so hard, I couldn’t even brush it. I already wash it all with sulfate shampoo but will need some time now. But this time I am sure I learned my lesson! Thanks for this video! ❤️
Sis this is what I needed. I was thinking sulfates may be the only thing able to get this extra protein out. And i deff see more progress after 2 washes with the Pantene.
Also, make sure you are using a conditioner that is oil free. I found the deep conditioners That were protein free but full of oils made things worse. Oil seals the protein in. I’m just washing once a week and letting water be my moisturizer every night in the shower. It’s the only thing that is helping my hair heal.
Also, I find using a heat tool on a very low setting after doing a really good moisturizing deep condition helps a lot. But you want to make sure the hair is very well conditioned before hand.
I bought this Pantene series, first time using Pantene in over 10 years and saw immediate improvement. I now avoid protein in my hair products and am continuing to use this shampoo and conditioner. It was your video that helped me. Thank you!
You speak the truth. I am a PJ. I went thru my entire stash probably 100+ products and maybe 10 of them were COMPLETELY protein free??? Even products whose labels specifically state it geared towards moisture
Here before 1k! Telling all my friends and clients to subscribe, because it's about time we talked about the science behind everything hair and scalp. Super excited to watch your channel grow!
My all time favorite conditioner is the Mielle Organics Mongongo Oil Ultra Moisturizing Protein-free conditioner. Its amazing! My instgram is @yesherstudio
I’m so proud of you!! 💓 & I’m so happy more and more people are now being educated on natural hair! You’re really saving us girl!! 1k before you know it!! 👏🏼👏🏼
1k! It was the first thing I noticed when I came on your page today. I have truly, truly, found your videos so far very useful, and this had made me more confident in my hair journey. Plus, I am just in love with your overall vibe. Oozes so much positive energy. Thank you. 😊
God needs to deliver me from all of you trying to make me cry today 😂 Thank you so much girl! Don't forget to comment your deep conditioner and insta handle too!
@@AfopeAtoyebi You deserve all the 'accolades' and more. My deep conditioner is 'As I Am - Hydration Elation' and my Instagram handle is @simplyroli... looking forward to next week's video 😁
So some of these ingredients still have protein inside like the protane v and coconut inside the as I am will that put any more damage to protein overload.
After 7 years, I’m starting to understand I may have protein over load high porosity hair. The damage is significant. Can you elaborate on a hair routine? i.e how long do I go protein free? How do I know when my hair is balanced? How often should I be clarifying? Should I never use sulfates? When my hair is balanced which products are the happy medium balance keepers lol ? Should I be doing protein mask/treatment while I’m trying to remove the proteins? Is all the protein removed after one wash or weeks/months of washing? Is it’s a 10 good for protein over load hair? What is your opinion on the product? Can recommend more products. I love your channel so far btw. Your the first person to recommend products which is the game changer for me. you explain so simply which is what I need since I don’t understand “hair science “ I’m definitely going to subscribe 👌
Honestly if you incorporate a sulfate shampoo in your regimen at least 1-2 times a month you should be good. We shouldn't need to be bouncing back and forward. Shouldn't be this complicated. I actually went back to sulfate shampoo exclusively so I can use whatever products I want and not have to worry about all that build up and balancing mess.
You’re the best! I thought this should work (based on the fact they they tell you to avoid sulphates when you’ve done a keratin treatment), but I was sort of avoiding it until I watched this. Then I ran to get the Pantene! 😂 THANK YOU. So helpful-I think my poor little crunchy, straw-like curls are on their way back to life now. 😍
Great !!! Please suggests other products that tend to have NOOO PROTEIN IN IT… I do use as I am dandruff peppermint on my girls low porosity hair right now
1k 💃🏾💃🏾💃🏾 still at the experimental stage with my hair 😭....not gonna lie it’s kinda frustrating figuring it all BUT come rain and sunshine we will come out of quarantine understanding what’s up 💪🏾
I watch these videos weekly, usually from the IG stories of either Ife or Charlotte (just to plug in your supporters LOL) and I'm learning so much from them. Thank you! Go 1,000!
1K 👏🏾👏🏾 You are a God sent. I’ve started to apply your 8 week hair routine already I haven’t felt this confident about hair expert advice like this until now - you are flinging open the door of afro hair education. Thank you. Oh can you do a episode on hard water please? Thank you!
Tank you Very much for this video. IT heleď me a lot. I was desperate and thanks to your tip my hair is in great condition again. ❤ Just my tip. I tried a step before deep conditioning rinsing hair with viniger rinse.
Really great video! Have you tried Neutrogena Anti - Residue shampoo? Can you do a video on ingridents and understanding what’s written on the back of products please 😫🖐🏾❤️
Hey great video! I did your exact methods all the way down to the wet towel wrap, proV all that. Only thing I changed my was my deep conditioner because I couldn’t find that one at my local Walmart so I grabbed Shea moisture Raw Shea & Argon oil(no protein). My hair does feel softer than before even after just rinsing the shampoo! Still needs work though. How soon can I do this again? Any tips for a regime during protein overload
I stumbled on your channel and subscribed. You are so informative and I really appreciate it. I don't know why you don't have so many more subscribers. You're wonderful.
Extremely frustrated. Didn't realize till I got home.. Your link to the AS I AM HYDRATION ELATION is noooooot that: it's for AS I AM DOUBLEBUTTER CREAM 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽which has WHEAT PROTEIN in it ☹️. I clicked the link, took a screenshot, went to the hair store, n asked if they had that product.. They led me right to it, i purchased it, went home, THEN i saw the wheat PROTEIN ingredient 🤦🏽♀️
Very informative. I had to hit subscribe. I have low porosity hair and my hair always look so dry. I can’t seem to find the right products for my hair. So thanks this helps and I’ll definitely play catch up and watch your other videos.
Since it’s so frustrating to find products without protein and natural protein can you give us a video specific products that can help get rid of protein overload? It’s so hard to find products without all the natural proteins too.
Yup this is the dilemma. She’s actually done a vid on that but the issue is that those products she mentioned also have some extracts that contain protein and might not agree with some hair types
Still trying to figure out my best but so far the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen and Restore Treatment Masque is what I’m using at the moment! @poca118 ☺️
Hi loving this channel, u r awesome and so thorough !! Could u tell me though is this geared mainly toward Black hair cause, ya know, I’m a white girl and I really need hair help info🤣? Trying to respectfully ask. Thanks
Don't you get moisture overload if you have a protein-free hair regimen, or do you just have to be careful not to use too many moisturizing hair products?
You are one of the gifts that keeps on giving! I’m constantly learning from your videos. Thank you for all the information. For the giveaway, are we meant to do the comments on here or instagram?
Thank you for this video!!! I cut my long locs, to experience my loose natural hair again. Based on the glass test, I have low porosity hair, fine and slighty thick hair so not totally really thin, but even with using all the TGIN products, my hair is growing and thriving, and they do have protein in TGIN. So should I begin stripping my hair of protein. The moisture level of my hair was terrible until using TGIN.
Hello, I like this video and the process and recommendations are clear. However I will have to do some research to be able to identify the signs of protein overload in my hair.
Thank you for this research🤗. Am really suffering here with more breakage than am used to. I thought I needed protein after experiencing heat damage on my low porosity hair since it was breaking and I did the 2 step aphogee protein treatment, but my hair is still breaking, am thinking it was too much protein🤷🏾♀️🙄😪. Can any protein free sulfate shampoo work? or is it just these two shampoos that you mentioned work to get the protein overload out?
You can use any !! I looked in my house and guess what I had a protein free moisturizing shampoo from dollar tree so lucky me , but the only question I have left is do u just have to do this once to get rid of the protein overload or...
I took notes. Like actually wrote down information you ✨spelled out✨ on the screen for ppl like me who are taking my notepad to the booty supply tmm. Thank you! Love you! Keep preaching the gospel science 🧪 of full heathy heads ❤️❤️
Just subbed. Protein overload is always my problem. I know what to beware of in drugstores but what about ayruveda? I recently bought some products from product junkie naturals, a ayruveda based black woman owned hair care line. But i don't know what products are good for protein or moisture. Online is contradictive. A site will tell u that fenugreek is high protein and high moisture. I. Confused. Please help
It’s about 4 years of posting this video and still helpful i hope! Few days ago i use protein on my hair and hate it coz it makes my hair very fine and i lost my curls 😢 i want to get read of protein my hair stylist side that i need to wash it every day .. i want to use your method but i am scared coz i will color my hair after 3 day from now Do you think it’s fine to use hot water and hot toul with the shampoo then add color on it ??
I'm using a Coco bentaine shampoo and I have been noticing a protein overload, do you think it works as a protein??? Does coconut oil in ingridents work as a protein
Coconut is full of proteins, thats why its not suggested for anyone to use it, if you only noticed that after using the shampoo, then it could be the reason for your protein overload.
Freakin awesome video! Where were when I searched 👀 for this 3 months ago!!! 😫 I had never put any chemicals in my hair nor any protein purposely in my hair besides like eco styler or something. I’m a couponer so I have random products that I give away. Well I ran out of shampoo and used one of those products and my hair immediately felt like Velcro! I didn’t realize what happened so I did it AGAIN immediately after to see if it would change LOL 🤦🏽♀️ and of course it got worse, only to find when I CAREFULLY read the TITLE on the BOTTLE! ...that it was CONCENTRATED PROTEIN! 😬 My Lord. I have wanted to cut my hair (which is at its longest) ever since. So THANK YOU!!! 😭 It’s been hard! Question: do you think I should let the sulfates sit a little longer given my situation? Or just try the 3 min and seer what happens?
Great video once again’!!! Congrats on 1k subbie’s! ✨ Aloe Vera and rice water are great 👏🏾 can’t wait for next weeks video to see how to use these properly! I think I need to watch this entire video again and make a do’s and don’ts protein list. Thanks again!
And fenugreek is that packed with protein. I received protein overload by doing an overnight Fenugreek Prepoo every other week. Now I using I’m only doing it for a couple of hours and every three weeks.
YIKES! As far as I know, yes, fenugreek is a good source of natural protein. Leaving that on low porosity hair for several hours every week will more likely than not cause protein overload. I would say lay off it for now until your hair has fully recovered, then you can resume with your new 3-week plan.
Hello. Sone years ago I had protein overload from my first time doing a protein treatment. I used what you said, bought the VO5 shampoo and It helped a lot. A have low porosity protein sensitive hair, I believe. And since I knew protein didn't work for me I tried henna just to strengthen my hair. What a mistakes. The results were just like I suffered years ago with the protein treatment. I didn't realize it was rich in protein. Can you please tell me what I can do to reverse the effects. I heard it was permanent, more permanent than a protein treatment but that there is a chemical you can you. Do you know about this? If so can you please tell me what to do, at no risk to you of course. I will be completely responsible for the outcome, good or bad. I know you are trying to help people and I need help. Thank you.
Will this work on my hair? Iam Latina I used too much keratin products on my hair and now its dull, dry, and tangled and not to mention frizzy. As of now it's not breaking to bad Please help!!!
Yas!! Thankyou for ur videos. Right at it now with my protein overloaded hair, doing everything I can to moisturize it. Seems to be harder than it sounds.. found out on a lot of siency hair blogs that plant extracts (like aloe u mentioned) can also be an issue. For example Irish moss extract.. they say can act as a bomb of protein. Also flaxseed etc. Even in kinky curly or UFD u can find extracts. Thought i was finally getting there.. but now...extracts.😯Do u have any suggestion, or should I just trial and error?
Hey Julia, I don't think all extracts carry a lot of protein. Certainly not enough to affect your hair in the small concentrations they are usually used in products. I'd say if you like the sound of a product that has these ingredients in, so far as they're closer to the end of the list, then you should be fine. Don't stress about it
@@AfopeAtoyebi Hi, okay so its relatively. I was thinking of products which have plant extracts first on the list. Ill just experiment with it! my hair loves aloe, im glad about that. thankyou
This is amazing. My mind is blown. I have literally been doing everything wrong with my hair... Before, my hair was dry and frizzy, so I went overboard with sulfate-free, curly girl-this, coconut oil-that, and now my hair is dry, frizzy, AND damaged and brittle. I'm going to have to change things up.
Same here

HEY!! PLEASE RESPOND..... How is you're hair now? I've had so many issues with may hair these last 5 months, such as tangling, have you resolved this issue?
Did you need to cut off any hair? I hope i don't have to
How long to do the no protein regimen?
Protein removal Process;
Rinse hair with warm water
Wash with Pantene repair and protect
Pour hot water on a towel and cover hair with towel for 3 minutes
Rinse hair
As I am hydration elation deep conditioner for 30 min (or any protein free conditioner)

Yes that’s absolutely fine! I’m curious to know if a clarifying shampoo is good enough if you can’t get around the hard water issue. Thank you!
Tank you Very much for this video. IT heleď me a lot. I was desperate and thanks to your tip my hair is in great condition again. ❤ Just my tip. I tried a step before deep conditioning rinsing hair with viniger rinse.
Not to worry sis, we’re here for you 😉 shoot whoot 1k absolutely love your content and your sense of humor pure Gold
Hahahhaa, thanks girl!
Is it ok to use avocado if you have protein overload?
Thank you so much sis💞💞Struggling 4c Low Porosity Squad😞
Thanking the TH-cam Gods for showing this video to me. 🙏🏾 Also, you’re almost 50,000 subscribers here a year later!
Really great video! Have you tried Neutrogena Anti - Residue shampoo? Can you do a video on ingridents and understanding what’s written on the back of products please 😫🖐🏾❤️
Yay!!! So proud of you Fops. Nos it’s journey to 10k 🤩 star girl yéah yeah
Add one more '0' to that sissy! Hahaha I love you forever.
Hey great video! I did your exact methods all the way down to the wet towel wrap, proV all that. Only thing I changed my was my deep conditioner because I couldn’t find that one at my local Walmart so I grabbed Shea moisture Raw Shea & Argon oil(no protein). My hair does feel softer than before even after just rinsing the shampoo! Still needs work though. How soon can I do this again? Any tips for a regime during protein overload
This was sooo informative!!! Thank you so much
1k....well done Afops,...finally deciding to give this a go....growing them hair gradually. Thank you!!!!
Thank you! You got this!
Always SO informative! Thank you Fops 🥰🥰
My pleasure!!
Well done Afope! Learning and learnt so much we appreciate you and your knowledge.... here’s to 1k and beyond 😘
Thank you so much Dembi 🤗Amen to that!
I stumbled on your channel and subscribed. You are so informative and I really appreciate it. I don't know why you don't have so many more subscribers. You're wonderful.
I tried many things for protein buildup. And the best so far is false daisy and celery juice hair rinse
What is celery juicr
I’m glad you added the DIY hair masks. I assume a lot of people don’t think about that.
I Klicked on the Amazon link, The conditioner has protein in it..
Great video thanks. I don't own a microfiber towel, but can I use disposable shower cap instead for heat?
Extremely frustrated. Didn't realize till I got home.. Your link to the AS I AM HYDRATION ELATION is noooooot that: it's for AS I AM DOUBLEBUTTER CREAM 👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽which has WHEAT PROTEIN in it ☹️. I clicked the link, took a screenshot, went to the hair store, n asked if they had that product.. They led me right to it, i purchased it, went home, THEN i saw the wheat PROTEIN ingredient 🤦🏽♀️
Yes please, bring on the cheeky protein video
You changed my life! Thanks you so very much! Merry Christmas darlin
Very informative. I had to hit subscribe. I have low porosity hair and my hair always look so dry. I can’t seem to find the right products for my hair. So thanks this helps and I’ll definitely play catch up and watch your other videos.
I've been following you, but now my notifications are on!
Well Done Fops! So proud of you 💛
Thanks sissy!
Since it’s so frustrating to find products without protein and natural protein can you give us a video specific products that can help get rid of protein overload? It’s so hard to find products without all the natural proteins too.
Yup this is the dilemma. She’s actually done a vid on that but the issue is that those products she mentioned also have some extracts that contain protein and might not agree with some hair types
1K!! You’re the best.
1K let’s go!! Loving your content so far honestly so educational and not jarring or boring. Just real goodness ✨
Still trying to figure out my best but so far the Shea Moisture Jamaican Black Castor Oil Strengthen and Restore Treatment Masque is what I’m using at the moment! @poca118 ☺️
Awww thanks Jhenelle! 🥰🙏🏽
Hi loving this channel, u r awesome and so thorough !! Could u tell me though is this geared mainly toward Black hair cause, ya know, I’m a white girl and I really need hair help info🤣? Trying to respectfully ask. Thanks
This is for all hair types.
Thank you for the video ❤ I'm low porosity and I love olaplex!
I used rice water incorrectly hence my protein overload and massive hair loss ☹😥😭
Don't you get moisture overload if you have a protein-free hair regimen, or do you just have to be careful not to use too many moisturizing hair products?
Thank you so much you SAVED my hair ❤️❤️❤️
You are one of the gifts that keeps on giving! I’m constantly learning from your videos. Thank you for all the information. For the giveaway, are we meant to do the comments on here or instagram?
Aww thank you so much girl!
Thank you for this video!!! I cut my long locs, to experience my loose natural hair again. Based on the glass test, I have low porosity hair, fine and slighty thick hair so not totally really thin, but even with using all the TGIN products, my hair is growing and thriving, and they do have protein in TGIN. So should I begin stripping my hair of protein. The moisture level of my hair was terrible until using TGIN.
Hello, I like this video and the process and recommendations are clear. However I will have to do some research to be able to identify the signs of protein overload in my hair.
Thank you for this research🤗. Am really suffering here with more breakage than am used to. I thought I needed protein after experiencing heat damage on my low porosity hair since it was breaking and I did the 2 step aphogee protein treatment, but my hair is still breaking, am thinking it was too much protein🤷🏾♀️🙄😪.
Can any protein free sulfate shampoo work? or is it just these two shampoos that you mentioned work to get the protein overload out?
You can use any !! I looked in my house and guess what I had a protein free moisturizing shampoo from dollar tree so lucky me , but the only question I have left is do u just have to do this once to get rid of the protein overload or...
thank you for the help 😱how long does it take to see hair go back to normal?
I took notes. Like actually wrote down information you ✨spelled out✨ on the screen for ppl like me who are taking my notepad to the booty supply tmm. Thank you! Love you! Keep preaching the gospel science 🧪 of full heathy heads ❤️❤️
Just subbed. Protein overload is always my problem. I know what to beware of in drugstores but what about ayruveda? I recently bought some products from product junkie naturals, a ayruveda based black woman owned hair care line. But i don't know what products are good for protein or moisture. Online is contradictive. A site will tell u that fenugreek is high protein and high moisture. I. Confused. Please help
I adore your channel. Thank you for all your information and knowledge.
It’s about 4 years of posting this video and still helpful i hope! Few days ago i use protein on my hair and hate it coz it makes my hair very fine and i lost my curls 😢 i want to get read of protein my hair stylist side that i need to wash it every day .. i want to use your method but i am scared coz i will color my hair after 3 day from now
Do you think it’s fine to use hot water and hot toul with the shampoo then add color on it ??
I'm using a Coco bentaine shampoo and I have been noticing a protein overload, do you think it works as a protein??? Does coconut oil in ingridents work as a protein
Coconut is full of proteins, thats why its not suggested for anyone to use it, if you only noticed that after using the shampoo, then it could be the reason for your protein overload.
Freakin awesome video! Where were when I searched 👀 for this 3 months ago!!! 😫 I had never put any chemicals in my hair nor any protein purposely in my hair besides like eco styler or something. I’m a couponer so I have random products that I give away. Well I ran out of shampoo and used one of those products and my hair immediately felt like Velcro! I didn’t realize what happened so I did it AGAIN immediately after to see if it would change LOL 🤦🏽♀️ and of course it got worse, only to find when I CAREFULLY read the TITLE on the BOTTLE! ...that it was CONCENTRATED PROTEIN! 😬 My Lord. I have wanted to cut my hair (which is at its longest) ever since. So THANK YOU!!! 😭 It’s been hard!
Question: do you think I should let the sulfates sit a little longer given my situation? Or just try the 3 min and seer what happens?
Do I only do this once or do I do this like 2 more times👀👀👀
How do I know if I have protein overload?
Love your videos! So engaging and informative! Is one good no protein wash really enough to find equilibrium again??
Great video once again’!!! Congrats on 1k subbie’s! ✨ Aloe Vera and rice water are great 👏🏾 can’t wait for next weeks video to see how to use these properly! I think I need to watch this entire video again and make a do’s and don’ts protein list. Thanks again!
Thanks for the congrats in advance, hahahaha!
Doesn't rice water have protein, though? I've read conflicting things about rice water.
And fenugreek is that packed with protein. I received protein overload by doing an overnight Fenugreek Prepoo every other week. Now I using I’m only doing it for a couple of hours and every three weeks.
YIKES! As far as I know, yes, fenugreek is a good source of natural protein. Leaving that on low porosity hair for several hours every week will more likely than not cause protein overload. I would say lay off it for now until your hair has fully recovered, then you can resume with your new 3-week plan.
UPDATE: my hair eventually broke off from protein overload.
Hello. Sone years ago I had protein overload from my first time doing a protein treatment. I used what you said, bought the VO5 shampoo and It helped a lot. A have low porosity protein sensitive hair, I believe. And since I knew protein didn't work for me I tried henna just to strengthen my hair. What a mistakes. The results were just like I suffered years ago with the protein treatment. I didn't realize it was rich in protein. Can you please tell me what I can do to reverse the effects. I heard it was permanent, more permanent than a protein treatment but that there is a chemical you can you. Do you know about this? If so can you please tell me what to do, at no risk to you of course. I will be completely responsible for the outcome, good or bad. I know you are trying to help people and I need help. Thank you.
1k😍 I'm new in the natural hair community and I came here for the giveaway but I'm really learning a lot from you already.
Awww that's amazing! glad to hear
Gonna try this 😁
Hello my scalp itches a lot I use rice water every time I was my hair could it be that i have to much protein in my hair
Would this work for relaxed hair, as well?
Will this work on my hair? Iam Latina I used too much keratin products on my hair and now its dull, dry, and tangled and not to mention frizzy. As of now it's not breaking to bad Please help!!!
Thank you! You are smart and beautiful.
Yas!! Thankyou for ur videos. Right at it now with my protein overloaded hair, doing everything I can to moisturize it. Seems to be harder than it sounds.. found out on a lot of siency hair blogs that plant extracts (like aloe u mentioned) can also be an issue. For example Irish moss extract.. they say can act as a bomb of protein. Also flaxseed etc. Even in kinky curly or UFD u can find extracts.
Thought i was finally getting there.. but now...extracts.😯Do u have any suggestion, or should I just trial and error?
Hey Julia, I don't think all extracts carry a lot of protein. Certainly not enough to affect your hair in the small concentrations they are usually used in products. I'd say if you like the sound of a product that has these ingredients in, so far as they're closer to the end of the list, then you should be fine. Don't stress about it
@@AfopeAtoyebi Hi, okay so its relatively. I was thinking of products which have plant extracts first on the list. Ill just experiment with it! my hair loves aloe, im glad about that. thankyou
That’s a blessing! Aloe is great so I’m glad about that for you too! 🥰
Ok I’m having this problem not but do you wash out the deep conditioner or just leave it in and also add leave conditioner?
I enjoy learning from you. Where were you 8 years ago.
Hahaha thank you! 🥰🙏🏽
Does ammonium lauryl sulfate work??
This worked so well. Thank you so much!!! I was really freaking out for a minute there 😂😂😂
