Soft! Maintaining a moisture/protein balance can be a challenge. For my low porosity hair, I can use conditioners that have a little protein in them, but for some reason, my hair hates shampoos that have protein within the first 5 ingredients or so. I also have to be careful with gels that have a lot of protein. Hot crunchy curls belong in the snack isle, not on my head! Great video!
Haha very true!!! Thanks for sharing!
I guess Im randomly asking but does someone know a method to log back into an instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the account password. I appreciate any tricks you can give me.
@Kaden Hunter instablaster =)
@Russell Vicente i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Russell Vicente It worked and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thank you so much, you saved my account!

#NOTIFSQUADDD Softtttt love you Lydia ♥️ Protein kinda makes me nervous but maybe watching this can change my mind
I think you just have to know when and when not to over do it and then you’ll be good!
Soft!!! I too have low porosity hair so thanks for this video! And she's telling the truth about the avocado cream stuff is amazing!
I’m so happy you enjoyed this video! Thanks for watching!
Softttt!!! Great video Lydia!!! Thanks for the suggestions..I am protein sensitive as well, so your choice of “protein free “ products were really helpful!! 💓😇
I’m so glad you found this video helpful!!!
I LOVEEEE YOUUUUUU LYDIAAA! YOURE MY FAVVVVVV NATURAL UA-camR!!!😍❤️
Love you too girl!!! 😘😘😘😘
Soft! Can't wait to try these recommendations. Thank u!! ❤️
SOFT! Very Informative--Thank you! I've been using a shampoo that has as its main ingredient bamboo fibers, which is very protein-rich. I couldn't figure out why my hair felt dry right after rinsing and would remain so even after using conditioner. Now I know what I've been doing wrong and can make a more informed choice when I go to the hair-care isle. Thanks again for your service through this video and suggesting products for low porosity hair-types (like mine) that you've tried on yourself and can stand by. Your beautiful curls are so defined and look so soft--each ringlet speaks for itself! I couldn't help but notice the shine on your curls--I swear Lydia your hair twinkles! Keep up the good work! Ms.EcStreet :)
Thank you so so so much! I’m glad this video was helpful for you!
Notification Squad heyyy👋🏽 Lord knows we’ve all been there at one time or another. Protein overload & that straw like feeling. I agree moisture is the key. As always tfs. Softttt!

I’m so glad you found this video helpful! Thank you for watching ❤️

Thanks for being the few to recommend protein free products.
Soft! Thank you I finally can get to work on my over protein hair.
Soft. This video was super informative and helpful. Thank you
Soft!!! Thanks for the tips!!! I know what to look for when my hair is going overload on protein.
Great! Thanks for watching!!
SOFT!!! Always enjoy your bubbly personality and great reviews of products🌈🌈🌈💜💜💜
Thank you so much!! 💜💜💜💜
Soft!! Thanks I had no idea that gels also contained protein!! U have been very helpful by sharing this info!!
Yeah!!!
This video was right on time. I have fine, low porosity and protein sensitive strands. I usually just use henna masks for strength, but recently tried a henna with methi aka fenugreek in it. The henna mask had my hair so dry and brittle til I realized fenugreek can act as a protein like strenghtener. I also was using it with Eden Body works co-wash which I just discovered has protein in it ( I've since replaced it with protein free As I Am Co-wash👌). We protein sensitive naturals really have to pay attention to ingredients. Thanks for this video. Love the product recommendations.❤
Thank you so much for watching and sharing! And yeah paying attention to ingredients is definitely important!!
Softtttttt. I've never experienced protein overload, I have high porosity hair and moisture is my main concerns, but this was a very informative video
I’m glad you still found this video to be informative! Thank you for watching!
Softttttttt! 😜
I'm watching a bunch of videos on the subject because rice water caused my protein overload. Thanks for info 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
I tried ApHogee Two Step protein treatment for the first and last time. My tip - If your hair is getting enough protein from your other products, do not feel like you need to do a protein treatment. Keep it SOFT!
Lydia could you do a video about all you need to know about how to keep your curly hair healthy like about the prosity ,protein , damage and how to properly treat your hair so that you can have the right amount of health in your hair and how to maintain health I would love this video and it will help me a lot
Thank you for your suggestion!
Soft and thanks for sharing information for low porosity hair because I'm trying to get my hair back to natural. Very helpful. Thanks
Thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed!
Softttt🐑🐑🐑
Shared this video with my sister 💜💜
Hair looks great btw, very elongated!😊
Awh thank you!! 💜💜💜
Lydia Tefera you’re most welcomed 🤗
Ok so now it’s all making sense. I have low porosity and I used to use a keratin shampoo and conditioner consistently before I started caring about ingredients (CGM) and now I’m really noticing that the silicone made me blind to seeing that my hair hardly needs any protein. I also discovered why a leave in I just bought makes my hair literal Velcro so I’m now going to over moisturize and try to balance 💕 thank you!
Soft!!!! I will be trying these tips for sure!!! Thank you!!!
Thank you for watching!

Omg thank you so much! My hair has really been super dry lately and I could not figure out why!!!
So happy this video was helpful!
Softttttt lol thank you for this video! that rice water challenge did a number on my curls, I got alot of growth but the frizz and strands are too real. looking forward to the repairing phase now.
Hi Lydia! Just wanna say that your video has been so informative and on point. I do have a question, if I use a curl cream, do I need to use leave in? I'm still trying to balance out my hair products making them half protein and half moisturizing, I feel like it works well for me when I change from time to time but honestly, this video is such a good help! Love from Malaysia
Thank you for the video, I know I should have "SOFT" curls after following your advice. 🤗💝
Softtttttttttttttt...thanks for this informative video!I agree...alikay naturals is very underrated but has amazing products!
Thanks for watching!!! ❤️❤️
I swear I feel like you read my mind all the time with these videos ! I recently noticed my hair wasnt coming out how i like it with certain products i have but I literally just got back from Sallys with some new products to try including the low porosity leave in detangler and let me tell you 😩 that stuff is bomb okay!! I will definitely be back for that shampoo & cond from the line! Im starting to learn how my hair reacts to certain products & your videos really help Lyd thank you❤️ hoping my hair turns out better with these products!
Soft
I’m so happy you found this video so helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing!! 😘😘😘
Soft all day long! Haha, I can honestly say since doing the big chop/shaved to bald(coming up on 3 months next week). I've never craved having softer hair more. Cause when mine first was re-growing in. The scab hair behind my ears and side burns was all kinds of hard and crunchy. Til a few weeks ago when it finally started accepting moisture better. So definitely agree with needing the right amount of moisture.
As to protein info in this video. I totally appreciate you making this video, because to be honest I'm STILL learning how to properly read ingredient labels on products. And although I do try and remember that anything that has Keratin or Hydrolyzed something or other is going to be protein based. I still tend to forget about which sulfates and alcohols and what not to look out for as well.
But I'm definitely jotting down the types of proteins so that I will remember them. Now the real question is in finding moisturizing leave-in's deep conditioners, etc. in my area. As it seems like about the only thing my major retailers want to sale is everything that has to do with protein. Which, I agree with you is not a bad thing. It's actually great. But then you slide the other direction and end up with too much protein. Thank goodness for Sally's and the internet.
Thanks for sharinggg!! I’m so glad you found this video helpful!!!
Quite welcome. And anything to help me along this hair journey is a Godsend. Far too much info to weed through on the daily. But clear, concise, and on point information is always for the win, in my book.
Soft🍦. Hey Lydia! I really enjoy the Mielle Organics Mongongo Deep Conditioner. It leaves my hair really soft. Thanks 🙏 for the video.
Yay! I’m so glad you loved it!! It’s become a favorite of mine!!
👍Thanks for the video Lydia.
Unrelated.... but can you do a video on how to lessen hair shedding? It sheds a lot in the shower during washing/conditioning. I know you said in another video that trimming helps, but I do that and still shed a lot. If you have any tips, I’d love to hear them. Not sure if you deal with this at all.
Thanks for the suggestion!! And thank you so much for watching!!
Madeleine Christine Try a tea rinse.
My hair was shedding a lot too then I realized it was the shea moisture shampoo second one that’s done this to me
Sometimes extra shedding is due to thyroid issues or clogged liver
Is it shedding or breakage ? Excessive Shedding takes place at the root of your hair trimming won’t solve anything. Breakage happens on a weak point ON the hair strand, then trimming should help.
Great VID!! Sooo informative..💡
Gonna get that mielle conditioner just been holding back cause of price $...but with this Summer heat the Curls r THIRSTY....Soft 🍦
💁👍🌟💞
It’s totally worth it! And thank you so much for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it!!
Thanks! Shared this with 2 low porosity curl sistas!
Yay!! 🤗
What would you recommend to moisturize the scalp avoiding protein!
softttt! thanks for this video
Soft!😃 I have been there before with protein overload last year or the year before. I didn't know i had low porosity hair and did a 2 step protein treatment. Boy was my hair frazzled, dried out, crunchy and didn't respond to moisturizers good. Had to do a big chop and cut my hair to the shoulders. To help make my hair managable i had to add heat to my conditioners. sitting under my$20.00 heating cap once or twice a week helped. It took a while for the moisture to get back into my hair and for my hair to respond better to my hair products.
Yeah it definitely can be hard to manage sometimes! Thank you for sharing!
I am sad you chopped your hair; you probably could have saved it just fine, like you did the remaining hair on your head. It is often like having your hand on a trigger, just wanting to "fix" by cutting, but often that is not the first reaction you should have. I hope that when this happens next time, you will try the treatments first so you won't have to cut off those lovely curls! :)
No but Jaquay did, unfortunately.
I didn't cut my hair to the shoulders right away. My hair was already dry and frazzled from the protein treatment. Deep conditioning didn't repair my hair at all. Low porosity hair does not need protein. My hair acted a lot better when i cut my hair to the shouders and deep conditioned with heat. My hair grows fast. In a matter of months my hair was long again.
Jaquay, that sounds great! :)
SOFT!!!!!!! Hey 👋 Lydia I was wandering since my hair is normal/high porosity, what products would you recommend? Thanks
Keep doing what ever it is that you’re doing now if it’s working for you!
Soooooooft 😘😘
Am now subscribing
Softtttttt! Very informative.
❤️💕🤗 thank you for watching!

😁😁 #Gang!!
I was always told that when your hair feels dry and brittle, you need to up the moisture game, and if your hair feels mushy it is the opposite and you need protein. I have medium porosity, so in general with most masks and conditioners I am fine as most things from the drugstore that I own are quite balanced out.
That’s a good rule! Thanks for sharing!
I've heard the same thing. And actually try to adhere to that rule myself. It's just so hard/tricky finding moisturizing lotions, conditioners, and even deep conditioners in my area at times. And then when I do try other brands like the Neutragena Triple Moisture that I came across by chance in a Walgreens. It wound up not doing much for my hair when it was relaxed. Not sure if it will for my my natural hair now either really.
Softtttttttttttt, never had a protein issue but I think it might be good to do a treatment every once in a while since my hairs so darn dry. I think I might have low porosity bc water sits on too of my hair but it sets quickly
Yeah make sure that you moisturize your hair properly so you can avoid that dry feeling!
soft!! if my hair is very frizzy whenever i wash it, does that mean i have too much protein?
soft! Have you ever tried the sallys generic brand "Conditioning Balm"? as a conditioner or leave in, I've had great results with that one on my daughters 3c/4a hair
Oh no I haven’t! Thanks for sharing though!
Soft! Lydia could you do a period tips and tricks Bc my cramps are killing me right now😭😥😳😩
Oooh that would be something different! I can’t make any promises but I’ll see!
SOFTTTT! ☁☁☁☁
🤗💕😁💕🤗
My hair is so so dry right now, I’m planning to convert to low to no protein products, but also wondering if I should shampoo more or less while I try to get back to the appropriate moisture to protein balance?
Softtt! 💕
💕💕💕💕
I need to step my game up I’m getting later and later 😂 softttttttt ☁️
It’s okay!!

Hey Lyd, my curls are damaged how often would you suggest using protein because doesn’t it help repair damaged hair ? I believe my hair has too much in it now
I would say alternate every other week with a protein treatment and a moisturizing treatment!
Hi again,
I forgot to ask a question/was wondering what was your take on lighter vs. heavier protein based conditioners?
And do you think that, a lighter protein based leave in conditioner, could be just as moisturizing as a conditioner that doesn't have protein at all?
Like for instance, I've picked up Cantu Shea Butter leave-in to give it a second go round as my hair is longer and not quite as short any more. But what is different this time, is the fact that I read on a few different sites that it's considered to be a lighter protein based leave-in product.
So it had me wondering if I could just do my L.O.C. method using it, without following up with a moisturizing cream, since the protein factor was on the lower spectrum. Also, since this product has Shea Butter in it(a cream I've often heard people suggest for the C part of the L.O.C. method of moisturizing their hair), does that mean that I could essentially just use it as a one and done L.O.C. in a jar given that it has water for the L. there are essential oils mixed in for the O. And the shea butter is the C. Or would I still have to add more moisture and more oils and another Cream in order to get this product to work in my L.O.C. method?
P.S. sorry about so many questions. I'm still just trying to figure a good chunk of this stuff out really. And aside from you and Greenbeauty and maybe a few others, being able to explain hair stuff so easily. I doubt I wouldn't even know where to begin to even ask about this stuff in the first place. So totally appreciate it.
I personally don’t follow the loc method so I may not be the best person for this question specifically but I would say that you may not need to follow up with a cream but if you notice you need the extra boost of moisture then add it in
No probs. Thanks for at least thinking it over and giving it some thought for me. And actually while waiting for you to reply, I found yet another blog saying that the cream portion of the L.O.C. method should be some sort of styling cream. Which makes me laugh out loud as I've never really used those either, lol. Oy vey. Thanks again though. :)
No problem!
Softttt 💕💕 omg protein overload is NOT fun. I recently dealt with it and it was bad, however I was able to bring my hair back to its original state the following week
Not fun at all! But I’m glad you got it to it’s original stage!
Tina Marie what did you use and do?
How???
soft💆🏽♀️
☺️😊😊
Softtt!!! God is a woman is a fav😍 love the video😍‼️
😍😍😍😍
Can I use the kinky curly leave in conditioner on texlaxed hair?
My hair was feeling like... idk how to explain it was like when you chew gum while eating if that makes any sense? It was smooth but at the same time it was like squishy can this be because of too much protien? It was kind of stringy too but it wasnt dry quite the opposite actually
I cant find any of these products in New Zealand :( I went shopping today and everything has protein in it... coconut/ avocado / keratin / pathenol/ casin/ jojoba / aloe :( I eventually went to the supermarket and got some coldpressed virgin olive oil to try & moisturize my hair at night but Im stumped what to use for shampooing and conditioning :(
Oh no I’m so so sorry!
Hope I’m one of the first comments Buh heyyyy Sofftttttt😉🐇
😘😘😘💕💕💕
Sooffttttt❤️❤️❤️
Lydia, do you have fine, medium, or coarse strands? Thanks for the video!
I would say some are medium and some are coarse! Thanks for watching!
Lydia Tefera thanks for all your informative content!
❤️❤️❤️
Soft. I like making an avocado and banana mask for my protein treatments. I do them once or twice a month. I had protein overload recently and then it turned into moisture overload, so I’ve been having a hard time balancing them. Also I have vitamin c deficiency right now so my hair and skin are a little dry because it causes the body to build up too much keratin. What you eat effects how your hair feels also.
Wow you bring up some very important points! Thank you so much for sharing!!!
The only protein that can truly penetrate is gelatin (DIY), the rest, egg, avocado, yogurt, have molecules that are too big to penetrate. HTH!
Marleen G. Avocado works well for my hair. It brought my curls back from moisture overload and makes it shiny. And if I use it when I don’t need it, it will still cause protein overload, so it works for me, but thank you😊
Can you do one about moisture overload too please?!!!
Thanks for the suggestion!’
If I use products that are protein-free but has silicones (Aussie), would it be counterproductive if I’m trying to get rid of protein overload?
Protein and silicone have different effects. Too much protein will cause your hair to become brittle. And too much silicone will coat your hair and block moisture from coming in. So it just depends on your preference and how often you use the products. I personally try not to use conditioners with silicones in them. But that’s just me. I know people who use it and have no problems. Everyone’s hair is different and has different preferences. Hope that helps!
i have low porosity hair and i have 3c/4a my hair is so protein sensitive and i just realized that today
Soft and thank you!!
Thank you for watching!!!
I have straight hair i put egss and other stuff in it once a week the front is always soft but the back is a litte hard
I have the opposite problem 🥴 I tend to get moisture overload really quickly and they get too soft
Soft! ❤️
SOFTTT!!!
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Soft and thank you 💜🌸💜
Thank you for watching! 💜💕
I’ve done a protein treatment and my hair is harder to comb. While it feels dryer to me my hairdresser says it’s soft. I don’t have anything to compare my hair to so how do I know whether it’s too stiff or a right level of stiffness?
She is lying... She wants money.... U know ur hair better.... They shud b silky.... Light.... Shiny n healthy... Thats it... Natural hair r not heavy n hard
Is Jamaican castor oil considered protein?
Softtttt 🌹🌹

For some strange reason, my hair hates mielle organics. It does nothing for my hair.
