Hi all.

Full story, sorry if I waffle! I have been hammering the cones and now understand that what I would have interpreted as in need of a good salon trim is actually buildup!! I have been experimenting on my last two washes so I tried out my new purchase of Lush Float and Soak for scalp issues I am trying to work out and work with! I was told years ago by a hairdresser that I had some psriosis on my scalp. Good results from this on both uses, agree the smell isn't for everyone but I'm really at the stage where I don't care if it works! So first wash I used Biolage Conditioning Balm and a smidge of summer Panacea salve on dry ends, result was nice. Second wash I tweaked it again, put FOTE aloe gel on scalp, had regular Panacea on length for the night before, shampoo with S&F then Tresseme Naturals no cone and finished with two pumps of Redken Anti-Snap. I thought by this stage my hair probably needed the protein as have been SMT-ing with limited success. Result? Holy heck yes! The softest, shiniest most lovely hair I have ever had!!!

I wonder now is this the result of no-cones in conditioner but some in a leave in, Anti-snap has cones right? Or adding the protein? Or both!! I am going to try this routine for a while and see if I get similar results. Thank you LHC for my beautiful hair and the ability to look further into problems than "must be time for a trim!"

I've used the anti-snap and while in the beginning it made things really nice, it ended up with lots of buildup, at least for me. I also blame it, partially, for a stall in my growth here recently.

I went back to the cones. My hair is really fine, so I need them.

I think the best thing to do is try it for awhile and see if you have issues and then tweek it from there!

HTH!

For me, the key has been both no cones and no protein. My hair hates them both.
