Hi everyone, done a bit of searching, and I think I've figured out the following: if your hair likes protein, it will help to prevent it from being overly stretchy, right? If your hair doesn't particularly like protein, protein will make it crunchy, brittle and sticky, right?:confused:
Well, I've been using coconut oil the night before washday (protein treatment) and I've noticed that my shed hairs (dry) are quite "stretchy." They stretch a good deal before breaking, so that means my hair needs more protein (I think), so oiling before washing is probably the right thing to do.
I understand that moisture treatment should follow protein treatment, but my question is, do you do the moisture treatment right after the protein treatment, or do you alternate a pre-wash moisture treatment with protein treatment? I'm oiling before wash day, so does that mean that every other wash I should use SMT or something similar?
Thanks in advance for your help/advice:pumpkin:
