It makes the hair feel dryer. Are you sure you’re putting in enough conditioner? If you are using enough, that IS deep conditioning." This is WRONG. Proteins are the building blocks of life. My extremely fine hair absolutely needs and thrives on protein. When I only use moisturizing products, my hair becomes lifeless, curl-less, dull, toooo soft to work with, and brittle. Currently, being that it's winter, I use a shampoo with keratin and proteins, a CO with proteins, and I use Generic Joico K-pak several times a WEEK. End result? Beautiful, shiny ringlets. Maybe some people don't need protein in their hair diet, but Lorraine should not speak for all curlyheads. Experimentation is key. :) “Lorraine Massey: I don’t believe in protein.
