Colored natural, kinky hair
I have bleached and colored natural, kinky hair. This is the first time I've ever colored my hair and I made sure to do my research on colored hair care, which includes protein treatments. Well, months had gone by and I still hadn't done a protein treatment. Madness, right? Eventually, the dyed parts (especially the ends) started to feel rough and dry.The ends were also knotting like crazy! I remembered a YouTube video I watched about hydrolyzed wheat protein. I ordered that and a pair of hair shears (prepared to do some clipping, which I had also been neglecting). I heard that you should expect to see results after the first use, but I was blown away! First, I cleansed my hair with shampoo. I didn't measure how much of the treatment I used but I mixed it in with my regular, wash out conditioner. After coating my hair in it, I covered my hair with a plastic cap then sat with my conditioning heat cap on my head for about 15 minutes.<br /> My hair in general, not only the dyed area, feels softer and the colored ends feel smooth and manageable again. Also, waaaaay less knotting. After washing my hair, I put it in twists to dry. 2 days later I pulled out the twists to get a lovely, voluminous twist-out. Unfortunately, I didn't get the shears but Amazon promptly refunded me and I plan to reorder them shortly. I'm ashamed to say its been months since my ends have been clipped (which just compounded the problem) and I plan to use my protein treatment around once a month and trim when needed.
