Signs of Protein Sensitive Hair & How to Repair Protein Overload Natural Hair

- Опубліковано 21 лип 2018
- Hey guys! I have received a lot of questions asking how to find out if you have protein sensitive hair and how to fix/repair protein overload. So I decided to create a video to help you determine if your hair is protein sensitive, what to do if you are experiencing protein overload, the best proteins to use and how often to use proteins, etc.

EXCELLENT VIDEO! Thanks for sharing. I've been having so much breakage, dry, stiff straight areas.
I’ve never heard of this before. You present your subject thoroughly. Thanks for the information!
This video was super helpful. Really liked that you provided a protein list. I’m going to be checking my products now. Thank you!!! 😃
Thanks for the video. It’s really important to be careful with protein overload. It’s better to have it missing than overload 😅
Take a shot everytime she says protein.
Didn't you read the title of the video?
@@Amours1113 and Irene, did you both get a sense of humour bypass? She DOES use the word protein a LOT. This is not a criticism, it is a statement of fact. The OP stated this fact in a lighthearted way, with zero shade.
@@BrownWoman1011 haha
Alcohol poisoning
Bravo Iyda for such a thorough explanation even if you did use the word protein a lot!😉😂👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you, thank you!! This video makes so much sense to me! I have coarse, thick 3a/b curls and lately I can automatically tell when I add a product if it has protein in it (when I’m a Dufus and don’t read the label), my hair literally freaks out feels stiff, crunchy, just bleh so I automatically wash the product out and start over. Thank you so much for explaining this to me. Im trying to take better care of my curls and learn good products and techniques on how to do so! I’m so thankful for wonderful content makers like yourself that help me and others. God bless you and I look forward to future videos! ❤️
This was very helpful. Thank you so much!
My hair falls out with everything I apply to it. This is something I never knew about. Thank you
Super helpful! Thank you for such an awesome explanation!
Thank you, you are great and this was very informative!
Thank you for making this video!❤️❤️
This video was extremely helpful💕 I’ve been on my natural hair journey for 2 years now so I can use any help I can get
Good. I now understand why my coarse hair gets stiff, brittle and dry. 😊
I am soooo happy that I found your channel we have the exact same hair type
Lyda, thanks for this video. For the first time I understand what protein sensitivity is. I did the Rice rinse which badly damaged my hair and now l know why. Thanks again
I have low porosity fine strands, and I always wondered why I could withstand more protein than other lopo's. Now I know, but I do have to be careful. I was using rice water rinses every wash day and it became too much protein. My strands were just popping off like uncooked spaghetti lol.
nvrnakednails1 lmao @ uncooked spaghetti 😂
Now I know why the Camille Rose Curl Milk isn't that great for me. Must be that rice water portion. My hair pops like that when I use it and gets so dry the next day. Love their coconut water line tho. I need light moisturizing products.
@@IydaMichael I have the same!! I’m just getting over moisture overload but now I think I’m heading to protein overload 😫😖 my hair looks moisturized but is frizzy. It’s floppy and has lots of movement but feels “rough” to the touch but the curls are bouncy. I don’t know what is going on :(
Are used to be the type of person who would look after myself especially my hair and skin since going through depression, so I don’t exactly know if I’m protein sensitive or not but ever since I started using more products on my hair my hair has become very stiff brittle and dry.
as per your description i am low porosity but i hv high breakage of wavy and frizzy hair .does is it low porosity low protein hair.
does anyone know if maui moisture is protein free?
Thanks so much! This was very easy to understand for someone that knows nothing about hair. It is hard, specially when you start paying attention, to notice that you are protein sensitivity or not need a lot of protein. To be honest I am still not sure if I have low porosity or not...😔 I think I am but I really don’t know how fast is fast, or how elastic is elastic. I’m so confused
I've fell in love with shea moisture JBCO deep conditioner and I started using it every week at first everything was fine then my hair became hard and brittle and I learned then I had protein overload so I started putting moisture back into my hair with SM 10 n 1 deep condition and my hair grew from ear length to armpit length without a protein treatment so then I learned I was actually protein sensitive with normal porosity hair plus my hair is colored treated. It all about balancing moisture and protein!! This video was very helpful!
Terri Jones sane thing with me. I was using the deep conditioner until I read the ingredients and I dumped it into the trash lol. I’m back using the Manuka honey mask.
Terri Jones doesn’t the sm 10 and 1 contain protein? I am looking for a protein free hair masque myself right now? I didn’t realize my breakage has been from protein overload!
@@discussionswithdamara3224 try the garnier fructis 1 minute hair mask and leave on for 30 min instead of 1 minute. There's 5 different ones in the line and I've heard they are all amazing and they are only $4 at target! I used the coconut one and it's amazing! I just bought 4 more tonight lol.Protein, silicone and paraben free
@@candiceware3558 does the manuka honey have protein in it, I was thinking of getting the masque but I'm trying to find all protein free products to see if my daughter is protein sensitive or not
What about flexseed gel please ? Is it bad for protein sensitive hair ?
I tried it for 2 months and it let my hair dry and freezy
What are some good protein free hair masques?
Is having flakes from a product with protein a sign of protein-sensitivity?
Spot on as always Iyda. You always seem to come up with a video just at the right time for me. I’ve bought so many different EcoStyler gels, not being impressed with any of them really, and for some strange reason I wanted “to try” the JBCO and flaxseed one. So I washed my hair just 2 days ago, having bought it 😐and as usual rough, dry and brittle hair, and I said to myself I wonder if it’s the protein in it, as it does contain wheat protein. And then lo and behold I see your video. So thank you so much. Your hair looks fab btw. Well defined. 😉
Please help, my hair is fine when I have a PERM, its very course if I've went without one for a month, I can barely comb it. I will condition with a orange oil from olive oil perm box, my hair is thin but I need for it to become THICK. My hair SHEDS all the time and breaks weeks after perming, I wash only twice a month. Is rice water a good treat meant for my hair.
Can you give an example of protein and an example of what adds moisture??
how do i know when im not suffering from protein overload anymore??Ive been deep conditioning with intense moisture for a while and using leave ins. I want to add some protein in my hair to stop the breakage a bit but im scared i still have it. pls respond
Thanks for this video. My hair is very protein sensitive.
Hey,I have a quick question. If I clarify my hair with a shampoo can I follow up with a moisturizing shampoo for protein overload ? Or do you just recommend I just use the clarifying shampoo and just deep condition ? I’m trying to recover from it.
I recently took collegian from vital proteins and my hair was shedding like crazy, it was dry and brittle but my skin felt soft, manageable and silky, the complete opposite 😠
I love your protein sensitivity videos! I am low po and have fine hair, but my hair doesn't handle regular protein well. My entire hair care regimen is protein free, but I do weekly henna glosses with coconut milk for strength. Even then my hair is kinda brittle til the next wash day. It's a small price to pay for the strength and length retention I get from my henna treatments. I did recently try a henna mix with fenugreek, and it made my hair so brittle! ( fenugreek acts just like a strong protein)😩 Needless to say I'm going back to my regular pure henna mix. Iyda you are one of my favorite UA-camrs. You've helped me so much. Thank you for all that you do!❤
TheHixMixTV thank you so much! I have never tried henna gloss before, would you consider that as a light protein treatment? I am wondering if I should give it a try!
Iyda Michael I don't think the plant itself (lawsonia inermis) contains protein, but it definitely acts as a strenghtener for sure. I've been using it for years. Henna is drying so I make henna glosses. I use 100gr of henna and 1 can of full fat coconut milk, to that I add 1/2 cup of a moisturizing deep conditioner. I use to let my henna sit for a few hours for dye release, but the coconut milk makes the dye release immediately. I apply the henna any where from 2 hours to overnight. Curly Nikki's blog ( tons of info) is one of the best resources on henna for natural hair imo😉.
TheHixMixTV I have fine, low porosity hair and I love henna glosses! I make the henna separately and let it sit overnight and add it to my favorite deep conditioner with a few other things. It can be drying so I still do a moisturizing deep conditioning treatment after and I only do henna glosses once a month.
I also have low porosity fine strands. I used to incorporate henna glosses twice a month, but it became too drying. Then I took out the henna and just used my other Ayurvedic herbs. I only stopped doing those because they are too messy and hard to rinse out. Now I just make an Ayurvedic oil. I am one who can take and does however need protein a little more often than other lopo's lol.
Katherine Miller Glosses are great for fine strands right! I think I may stop doing them as often though, and do no more than 2x a month. Do your glosses replace regular protein treaments?
I love you. You save my hair 🤗 thank you.
Thank you! :)
Hey hun.i love love your hair,so wanna ask something thts abit not related to proteins bt i need help.....i just took mi hair out of locks and i dont know wat products to use or like how to do my hair,if anyone has tips for this dilemma please leave some comments.btw mi hair is 4c,and low porosity
I tried the Greek yogurt and oil mask and my hair was so dry after using it .
Can you please tell me some of your protein conditioner you use I was hoping you would've should them n the video but can u please recommend some pls I'm low porosity as well
Francine Maultsby I actually have the link in my description box! 😁
I know I have protein sensitive hair.. so I'm always carefull with the products I use! Good video xx
Jerusalem Elisabeth thank you 😘
I deep condition with coconut cream. Coconut oil doesn't work for me anymore.
Great advice ....im.definitely protein sensitive .......coconut oil.and olaplex makes my hair so dry ....idk ,I know olaplex dosent have alot of protein in it but my hair feels worse ...
This was a very informative video. That list of protein was especially helpful. I've been trying rice water as a rinse for a month and I can feel & see the protein overload. My hair is dry & brittle. I use butters & light oils as a diy moisturizer, but having high porosity hair it just drinks it in faster than I can apply it. I was wondering if you have any videos on high & low porosity hair that are as informative as this protein video? Thanks so much
Yes I have so many on my channel!
I use coconut oil all the time and I was fine.. but I ran out of conditioner so I made some with an egg and coconut oil and my hair was so dry omg
Liliana X I used coconut oil in my hair once and my hair turned to straw
I did a protein mask and my hair was falling can someone tell me why ? Am a natural and no colour too 🥲🙏
Please help me I couldn’t find ANY shampoo that doesn’t contain protein 😭😭
I have just had a protein overload from doing a protein hair mask to help my hair grow and not knowing all my products I use in my regimen already had protein in them. I'm a curly noob so I didn't know my hair would react the way it did. I knew I messed up because when I was drying my hair, it was frizzing up like crazy and the frizz was super curly coils, but I have 2b hair. It was so hard and dry, it looked dull and felt like even putting it up in a pineapple would snap my hair strands so I wet it again and just layered curl custard over and put it in a protective style until I could get some protein free stuff and could fix my hair. I've tried to fix it today with doing a protein-free deep Condition and then my entire regimen protein-free as well. It is still air drying but it seems to have helped. I won't be making that mistake again! XD
Hey Iyda. I think you mentioned that every couple of months you do a light protein. I was going through all of your videos. I couldn't find a video where you talk about your personal favorite light protein conditioner/treatment. What do you use? Sorry if you did state which light protein treatment you used and I missed it. Many thanks.
Marie D hello! I actually have the video in the description box, first link. So far, I like the aphoghee curlific texture testament and the aphoghee 2 min reconstructor. I just purchased the mielle organics protein treatment bc I heard great things so I will let you know how I feel about it! I am still experimenting with protein treatments.
I forgot to mention the Cherry Lola Treatment as well!
Thanks for the video. I just thought something was wrong with my hair... they say use henna gloss it’s really moisturizing, try fenugreek, just one try even after mixing them with avocado and my hair still feels like uncooked spaghetti
They say henna is very strong and you should do a moisturizing treatment after using henna. I suggest the Camille Rose Coconut Water Penetrating Treatment. And to do henna treatments less often. Maybe once a month
Oluwatosin Alo is it fixed? I so how did u fix it
Avocado ingredients aloe ingredients and coconut ingredients all act like protein
Protein overloaded give me a dry hair and high headache I can’t sleep help !
I just tried the rice water rinse and omg! My hair is dry, wiry, hard to brush and any oil I put in my hair just sits on my hair and doesn’t absorb! Ugh
No way! Sorry to hear that! I have had people ask me to try it....now i'm a little hesitant!
Its because that is also a protein treatment
The same thing happened to my hair after a rice water rinse! My hair was sooo dry and brittle, and some strands even broke off ... ugh!!!
Same! My hair is soo dry and brittle. I just did the rice water rinse 😭 Someone help lol
Had the same issue. Never used it again !
Is Creme of Nature products good for low prosperity hair that is protein sensitive?
Creme of Nature is just a brand name. The key are the ingredients of the product and knowing what to look for based on your hair type. Products with glycerin in it are good for low porosity hair; glycerin attracts and hold moisture. Just do some research and try products until you find your match.
i’ve suspected that i have protein sensitive hair for years,, so idk why it’s only just sinking in lol but i’m realizing that all my products contain protein rip ;___; thank yew for the lists of ingredients and info !
Notification gang gang💁😘👌🤗💃
I tried to relax my entire head a few years ago with the strong one and it didn't relax my hair AT ALL - like barely anything happened. And I used to relax my leave out and my hair would always revert back to it s natural state... does it mean that I am protein sensitive?
already8use I know it’s a sign that your low porosity.
I know I'm late to the party, but thank you so much for posting this video! Turns out I'm sensitive to protein and my doesn't really care for coconut. I removed these from my hair care products and problem solved!!!!
What are you using now?
@@TheGlamorousRealtor I use shea moisture manuka honey shampoo, 7x moisture rich conditioner, kinky curly knot today leave in, and eco styler black castor oil and flaxseed gel.
@@aliciathomas4196 thank you❤️
What's good for grey hair? I have some grey areas, so was hoping I could reverse it with coconut oil, not washing it too much, sunlight, b complex in my diet, but not sure what else to do.
Look into fenugreek
slambangwallop I read that copper deficiency can cause gray hair.
Is possible to be high porosity & be protein sensitivity????? My hair hates keratin i cant use keratin on it...but i use protein & im high porosity but is possible to be protein sensitivity bein a high po?
I think if you have coarse texture hair with high porosity you can be protein sensitive. Whats your hair texture?!
Iyda Michael I am the same way an my Texture is 4c. Is there anything I can do because my hair won’t even allow moisture in half the time so how is it I’m getting the protein overload😭😭😭
ugh yesss everyone tells me that i need protein bc i just started using product on my hair that contains proteins and AUTOMATICALLY my hair was stringy and clumpy. i definitely need to get protein free products bc my hair is screaming.
If you have dandruff does that mean i have protein sensitive hair
please suggest good shampoo for low porosity bulid up hair....my scalp is so itchy dry and next day i get very flaky scalp ...i ordered deva curl original and please suggest what else i can use to get build up free and frizzy free hair...
kirthi raj hello! I have the video in my description box! My fave cleansers so far are: mane choice hydrating shampoo, deva curl no poo original and quidad low lather and no lather co wash
I also like clarifying my hair with a bentonite mask every few months or so to get rid of buildup
Please REPLY! My hair was 4c really curly and really thick and nappy. I got protein overload and whenever my hair dries it turns completely straight and it feels moisturised but it’s no longer thick and curly!! I’m so frustrated and I just want my hair back!
Jade Grant I’m going through the same. Thing if you found the answer please let me know
Lethabo Mamafha is it gone now???
Do i have to trim my ends after a protein overload??
Yes I just had to do this bc of protein overload. They were rough and split so bad, but it should help the health of your hair.
You help save my hair💯😊
Ashawna Hector awe! I’m so happy to hear that!! ☺️
Iyda Michael thank you hunny❤
Hi iyda !
Is it normal to have breakage when using protein ?
I do, especially if I have protein overload. But if I follow it up with a moisturising deep conditioner, it stops almost immediately. I'm protein sensitive.
@@ohcarolina8671 ok, thank you very much! But Even the kinky curly knot today give me breakage although there's no protein in it...
@@Amours1113 oh ok. It's hard to answer without knowing anything about your hair. If you think the breakage is because of protein overload then it will take more than one usage of moisture like knot today, to fix it (more like 5-6 moisture washes). But if you have moisture overload then obviously knot today will make it worse. Forgive me for the generic answer I really can't be more specific. But I hope you work it out soon. It will take more research and experimenting on your part.
Bajan Mum dear what brand do u use for the deep conditioner?
💙Jesus lived the life we couldn't live and died the death we deserved and rose 3days later, repent of your sins and trust in Him💙
It's so shocking to discover I am protein sensitive. . I kept asking myself why had my hair been breaking for the last 2 years. I grew up with long hair. And the shock of realizing all the products I tried in the last 2 years were all Keratin filled. And most Non Sulphate and Non Paraben products have Keratin
imma be safe and use my aloe vera and rice water treatment once a month haha
I am naturally high porosity and have all the signs of protein overload.
S. Jones me too I’m tryna figure out why since the moisture is hard to even get into my hair🤦🏽♀️
Janay Burley I'm placing a conscious effort to control when protein is put in my hair. I scraped all products that have protein in the ingredient list and using only protein free ingredients in my routine. I will be more purposeful in using protein, especially now that I do henna every few months to tint my hair.
I've just discovered I have protein sensitive hair thanks to your informative videos. I have started to reduce protein products and my hair is reacting much better, would you be able to recommend a protein and triethanolamine free gel?
Two of my fave max hold gels contain triethanolamine : Ampro Clear Ice Protein Free Coconut Styling Gel and Extreme Wetline. It is very hard to find a commercial gel without triethanolamine because it is used to neutralize the pH so that the gel can form. If you dont need a max hold gel, you have more options like Uncle Funky's Daughter Curly Magic Curl Stimulator or Kiss My Face styling Gel Upper Management
Thank you lyda Michael. I will try the Ampro coconut gel. A new subscriber here from the uk.
Yay! New subbie! Love UK :)
Would you say that a person with thicker, coarser hair type and/or texture like 4c is typically less protein senstive?
Omo A. I would say that someone with coarse texture will be more sensitive to protein and the curl pattern has nothing to do with it because someone with 4c hair can also have fine textured hair and will require protein more often.
Iyda Michael Ooooo so trueeee!!! Thank you so much your protein sensitive videos have changed my hair's life🤣👏🏾🙌🏾👌🏾🙏🏾
I have fine low porosity hair, but my hair hates protein.
Bounce curl and Rizzo curl have drastically been helping improve my hair. Not all of their hair products are protein free. My hair is so damaged it doesn’t curl. It’s protein sensitive, too. Plus, my scalp is fucked up. Most Jews say they scalp problems dermatologist can’t treat. I use headquarters scalp lotion, but not all of their hair products are protein free either.
Silicones are synthetic fats that are used to replace oils such as Shea butter and coconut oil in lotions, shampoos, etc. silicones are toxic for my hair and my scalp. Shema Israel. I have heard Indian and Black women complaining about the same thing, but Shea butter is too heavy for my hair. I need like avocado oil or something light
I have not used silicone based products on my hair in 3 years, and my scalp is getting much better, but it has a lot more healing to do.
Great video . I have really oily hair and arganrain shampoo made my hair nice and clean. I always had trouble finding a good shampoo that will not make my ends dry and my scalp oily but this shampoo did the job. it's affordable, and it is sulfate free!
The more I watch your videos the more I think we have almost the same type of hair lol
My low porosity hair loves loves coconut milk, do you think I'm protein sensitive?? I'm new to this concept. Thank you ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
If your hair loves it then you may not be protein sensitive but it also depends on how often you use coconut milk?
We’re hair twins yayy I have same pattern 😘🖤🤞🏽
sounds like homeostasis
It also makes your hair really thin ...😂🤣😂
You're sooo beautiful
how many times she gonna say protein? lmao
R u Ethiopian?
Iyda you're so beautiful
Thank you so much :)
