Sorry I haven't blogged or vlogged in a few days, I was deathly sick this weekend I caught some type of stomach virus that was going around, my oldest son's birthday party was saturday and we had to cancel it =(
Topic of the day PROTEIN why so many choice??
we hear about protein all the time, but there are so many to pick from,
i want to help break it down for all of my lovelies,
there are quite a few choices to pick from so pay attention=)
Ok so What is protein?
Protein is made up of long chains of amino acids. Your body needs every kind of amino acid to preform normally. The amino acids our body’s cannot produce, we get from food.
Protein is required by the body for the growth, maintenance and repair of all cells.
If you aren’t getting enough protein in your diet, your hair and skin will be affected.
imagine a chick with anorexia, the first thing that is usually affected is her hair.
her hair will become dull, thin and fall out rapidly all of this is due to lack of protein!
Once the hair is out of the follicle it is very fragile, but there’s a lot you can do to make it appear healthy and keep it growing to it's fullest potential.
Along with keeping your hair moisturized and eating a good amount of protein, you can also add protein as an external treatment.
External protein helps coat the hair, by filling in your hair shaft, and adding strength to your hair.
There are many types of protein sold over the counter for hair repair, but they are not all the same in strength! Some protein treatments can soften the hair shaft like Dominican hair products and silk proteins!
vegetable proteins, makes the hair shiny and and healthy looking .
While others, like keratin protein help strengthen the hair.
Depending on your hair needs, this will determine which protein treatment that you will need.
*Read the labels you can cause serious damage to your hair if you don't!*
Collagen Protein (Animal Protein) -- known for increasing elasticity in the hair. ex: ORS hair mayonnaise, aphogee 2 minute reconstructer, VO5 protein conditioners.
all of these are also considered "light protein treatments" by many people.
I personally wouldn't use them more then twice a month.
Keratin Protein --(fibrous proteins) responsible for keeping the hair strong and pliable.
This is the strongest of all the proteins and is actually the one that hair is made from.
This one re-structures hair that has been damaged or broken down by chemicals.
It helps to replace the amino acid cysteine, which is the main one lost during chemical processing i.e. relaxers, dyes, jerhi curl kits ect, i know it's 2010 but folk are still rocking their soul glo kits =)
Remember these are heavy duty proteins. ex: Nexxus Emergencee, Aphogee Two Step Protein Treatment Dudley DRC-28 protein treatment.
my personal favorite is liquid keratin, i add it in my moisturizing conditioners,
to give it the best of both worlds, it's done wonders for my hair.
i did a video on it a while back on youtube.
Silk Amino Acids/Protein -- Silk has tiny molecules that can penetrate the entire hair shaft deeper than all other proteins without adding any weight, it leaves the hair feeling clean and non-greasy EX: Organix Nourishing Coconut Milk, Anti-Breakage Serum, Biosilk Silk Therapy Conditioner.
my personal fave is pure silk amino acid, i love that stuff!
Wheat Protein--is a moisturizing and strengthening protein.
it's known for increasing the hair's ability to maintain & receive moisture
ex: Lily of the Desert, ALOE VERA 80 daily shampoo
Organics Daily Conditioner, pure Aloe.
Vegetable protein -- Vegetable proteins absorb more easily in to the hair shaft, than animal protein it does not create build-up, and it leaves the hair very shiny, and radiant!
ex: ORS Carrot oil, Yes to Carrots hair and scalp mask, The Hollywood Beauty Carrot Oil or moisturizing hair lotion and Giovanni vegetable shampoos and conditioners,
their leave in condish is the bomb!
Another great way of getting protein, is to ingest it!
try eating foods like chicken, tuna, salmon, peanuts, eggs ect.

I couldn't hold anything down for 8hrs straight, come to find out the kids who were invited to the birthday party were sick as well, so they wouldn't have been able to come anyways.
By Sunday morning the entire household was sick, it was some type of virus that hit the school and daycares. so that's where I’ve been in case you were wondering...
We are all doing better now thank God!

Sorry your weren't well. Everything happens for a reason, good thing you cancelled the party! Thank God you are all feeling better now.
Excellent source of information girl, thank you for sharing! I'm going to use this as a guide to keeping my daughters' (4 of them) hair nourished with the right type of protein.

I'm glad you're well again! thanks for breaking this down. I want to try veggie proteins now. I use aphogee's green tea keratin, 2 min treatment, and joico k-pak. I think my Brendita's bodyworks coconut DC is protein too.
