I finally got it rightThumbs%20Up I shampood with con, applied emergencee for 3 mins, rinsed, shampood with con again and dcd with triple renewal for 5 mins under the dryer. I rinsed with cool water and now I'm airdrying. So far I've only seen 1 broken strand. I've used emergencee several times, but I noticed that it only works when I follow the directions. If I try to take shortcuts, it doesn't stop my breakageEmbarrassed

My hair is so in need of some balance!  I need to try your regimen thatnyckhick... On my way to the BSS!  Thanx for the info!

@belladiva... How is the megatek, peppermint oil and sulfur 8 working for you... do you also use the OTC as well?  How does it affect your protein/moisture ratio? TIA!

TIA

I'm still trying to get a hang of the protein/moisture balance. My hair always feels dry no matter what I do or what I put on it.

What shampoo and conditioner do you use? And what do you moisturize with? You may be using a drying shampoo or overusing protein conditioners and moisturizers. Clarify your hair and deep condition with a moisturizing conditioner and it should feel a little better.

I think my hair is balanced I don't have any breakage (& I'm 14 weeks post) & my hair is moist for the most part (the new growth tends to be a lil dry at times).
I think I am going to start sealing w/ an olive oil and see how my hair reacts...

I'm still experimenting with which products work best. But here's what I have:
 
Shampoo: Organic Root Stimulator Olive Oil Creamy Aloe
Conditioner: Optimum Care Anti-Breakage Therapy
Protein treatment: Motions CPR Protein Reconstructor
Moisturizer: Mizani Rose H2O Conditioning Hairdress
Sealer: Proclaim Natural 7 Oil
 
I find my hair gets so dry that I also use Optimum Care Ultimate Leave-In Strengthener to soften it enough to comb. I'm currently stretching my relaxer time and have a partial weave in.
 
I've clarified my hair about three weeks ago, adding baking soda to my shampoo, but I haven't noticed any difference. :/

i'm sure my hair is not balanced... but how do you know if you need more moisture or protein, or if you have too much of one or the other? i dunno!

anima-how often do you use the ors aloe cause from what I've read its usually used for clarifying and it maybe causing some of the dryness and what do you use for a moisturizing deep conditioner?
