Take a deep breath. Yes product can weigh down your hair, but it is not the end of the world. You just gotta try light weight products for your hair. It sounds like you would benefit from light weight spray on leave-in conditioners. You can totally use one with protein in it because it will help your hair curl more. The reason a product might make your hair curl less is because it's too heavy or maybe you put too much in your hair. You can also get ones without protein but curly hair does need a nice balance between protein and moisture if you want good definition and bounce. if you like your frizz, that's perfectly okay too! You don't have to change your routine if your current routine works for you. I will say this again, protein is safe to use and will NOT permanently damage your hair, especially in a shampoo, conditioner, leave-in or mask.
