- Ahh, the illusive balance we hear so much about when starting the method...
Over-moisturised hair (Hygral Fatigue) can lead to extra soft and undefined curls that struggle to hold shape.
Too much protein (Protein Overload) can lead to rough, stiff, frizzy curls and more breakage.
-
One of the main reasons many of us follow the Curly Girl Method is to have strong, moisturised and HEALTHY hair, and protein / moisture balance is an integral part of that journey.

Keep it really simple with this easy Elasticity Test that will point you in the right direction.
-
To recap:
⚠️ No stretch, brittle & snaps easily = low elasticity ➡️ ADD MOISTURE 💧💦
⚠️ Keeps stretching without bouncing back = poor elasticity ➡️ ADD PROTEIN 🧬
✅ Stretches slightly & bounces back ➡️ good elasticity = BALANCED ⚖️

My hair is exactly like the picture in the beginning
Perfect video. Thank you
thank you!
No wonder my hair feels dry when I use Bond builders. My hair is normal. Which is strange seeing how I color it all the time. I have a Spanish hair so, that's probably why. Hispanic people have razilian hair.
how far should you stretch it? it will snap eventually
Just a gentle stretch should give you the info you need 💥
@@thecurlcollective thanks, I need more protein 😊
can you make a video about protein treatments or products for hair that is sensitive to protein? I did the test and my hair kept stretching without bouncing. I need more protein in my hair but through experience I learned the hard way that protein makes my hair super dry and stiff, hay-like
Hi there! Not all proteins are created equal... which products have you tried? Sensitivity to coconut can also have a similar effect.
@@thecurlcollective hi there, yes my hair is sensitive to coconut as well. I tried sheamoisture's masks that contain protein and they didn't work for me. I recently tried bond building salve by curlsmith and its good for my hair
My hair doesnt stretch or snap with a gentle tug. It just slides right through my fingers. What does that mean? I have asian hair.
Try wrap the hair gently around your fingers so it’s more secure and let us know if that helps!
what if i have asian hair or straight hair
No problem, this test can be used for all hair types!
