Protein or moisture, which one should I use?

Balancing Protein and Moisture 


Protein and Moisture are the corner stone to healthy hair, however, it is important we know how and when to use them. 


How to assess


(When Wet or Dry) If your hair stretches slightly and returns to its original length without breaking, you are balanced! Stick with maintaining!

(When Wet or Dry) If your hair stretches a little more than normal then breaks, you need more protein in your regimen.

(When Wet or Dry)If your hair stretches, stretches, stretches with no significant breakage yet, add a bit more protein to your regimen.

(Wet) Feels weak, gummy, mushy, or limp, you need to add more protein to your regimen.

(Wet or Dry) Experiences very little to no stretching, and simply snaps or breaks, you need to increase the moisture in your regimen.

(Dry) Feels rough, tough, hard, dry, tangly, brittle, or any combination of those, you need more moisture in your regimen.

Unsure? On the side of caution and give your hair more moisture.


When your hair is thrown off balance by too much protein, it will break easier on wet or dry hair because it lacks elasticity. Elasticity is what allows us to style, stretch, and manipulate our hair without brekage.
