Focus on moisture, and only give your hair protein when it's obviously in need, you hair is getting crazy hard because you are overloading it with something it already has...
NN, I agree with you. I think the porosity must have alot to do with my protein sensitivity. Also, thank you for confirming what I've been thinking -- if it ain't broke... My hair curls just fine and isn't droopy or damaged so why add extra protein on a regular? I'll add on an as needed basis but because I've been told my hair is fine I'm "supposed" to love protein. Someone needs to tell my hair!!!
