About the fifth video I've watched today about moisture protein balance. Thanks for not giving me a science lesson

[@laurysmilesss4074]

omg I'm so glad I found this! I've watched like 4 different videos on this & yours was the only one that explained it the best! THANK YOU SO MUCH! loving the recap, had to subscribe!!!

[@ccj7982]

I've literally been watching protein/moisture videos ALL day!! I was about to give up when I found your video!! This is by far THE BEST explanation!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!

[@alissadawn5479]

I'm finding your channel years late but thank you! I know we have different hair types but I'm on my curly hair journey and thank you for being so down to earth and easy to follow! It's like talking to a girlfriend ♡

[@petrahenchell]

I know exactly what that mushy hair thing you are talking about. I would compare it to using nair on bodyhair (on more course hair like underarm hair) and the hair would be so soft it gets a bit slimy like old alfalfa sprouts.

[@quinettajohnson]

Thank you for making it easy for me to understand protein and moisture balance. BTW, you're gorgeous Sis, melanin poppin'.

[@Miss_Itty-bitty]

Omgggg I love you lol.... I have been looking at videos about too much moisture or protein but you are the first one that exactly broke it down to were I can really understand it. Thank you so much☺️

[@MiVidaBellisima]

I use grocery bags to keep the moisture in because I always have them around. I'm about to dye my hair so I know I will need to start incorporating protein treatments periodically. That's for the straight forward explanations !

[@msbrowngault]

MiVidaBellisima I haven't seen a grocery store bag in ages 😡 #Atx

[@tieashasamuels2627]

I've been natural 5 years, I've been searching for someone to plainly explain this for 5 years! I found out the hard way the importance of protein and over conditioned hair to the tune of a 5 inch haircut 😓! But it's all good! YOU ROCK! YOU'RE AWESOME! YOU'RE THE BEST! THANK YOU SO MUCH!

[@Maria-ms9lv]

Thank yoou!!! You have no idea how useful this video was for me!!! Im from Brazil and i've been learning a lot about hair with american youtubers, but i never understood the term protein because it doesn't make sense in portuguese, even translating it, but now that i know that it helps when your hair is quite elastic, I GOT IT! thanks! and your curls look so cute! xo

[@shireenrennie6875]

For the first time I fully understand when to use moisture vs protein. Thanks soooooo much girl.

[@cherylcherry4175]

LOVE HER!!!!!!! The best explanation yet

[@KimberlyHolden]

Awww, thanks

[@a.j.3088]

I couldn't agree more

[@Redtady]

Had me crackin up but great spaghetti explanation.

[@kimberlyroute4203]

Yes thanks Kim. Especially after a relaxer you should use protein

[@kaymccall2578]

YES!!!!!

[@chrissynole5878]

It's always a delicate balance between protein and moisture. If your hair feels like flexible steel -- it is protein overloaded. And if it's too mushy (when wet) then it's too hydrated.

[@TeamJesusGo]

Are you kidding? I loved this video

[@sharonobie1206]

I also too. I like her video. Personality is A+++

[@Mrs1V]

Im so grateful for this video. Out of all the videos this one helped. Ive been natural for awhile and I couldn't pin point what was wrong with my hair until you said if it feels like over cooked pasta you need protein. My hair feels great thank you for the life lesson.

[@Holabella]

Hi hun thanks for the vid. Very clear now. By the way Aphogee is great - it is NOT a conditioner. The ORS Mayo is a light protein conditioner. Aphogee is a deep heavy protein treatment. One should NEVER comb their hair or even touch it when Aphogee is in it. The label clearly states this. It adds so much protein that your hair strands are almost frozen in a glass like state. Once your hair is saturated, leave it on for 30 mins, it will get hard like glass, after 30 rinse it all out with water don't touch or massage the hair. Once it is all out, deep condition with a heavy moisturizer for another 30 and finally rinse. If your hair needed protein to begin with, after your hair will feel strong, sturdy and healthy - not hard - it should be easy and smooth to detangle with a lot of shine when wet and dry. I made the mistake on my first try of not moisturizing after and combing while it was in and swore it off for 2 years. Now its my go to. Love it. Worth another try if you dare.

[@chrissynole5878]

+BitterSwt02 Also I used the Aphogee moisturizer only -- because I had protein overload. It worked Wonders on my stiff dry protein overloaded hair. Then once that was rinsed out, I used a conditioner/strengthener to add in "light" protein. And my hair felt like hair again!! yeah

[@thaliapeart9677]

How long after using aphogee did your hair stop breaking or did you see results? My hair sheds at the slightest comb and it ends up coming out in chunks. I used aphogee protein treatment once then braided my hair. After I took the braids out it was still shedding like crazy. I just want to know if I should continue using the product. So how long after use did you see results?

[@goldenlady3863]

@@thaliapeart9677 I tried fermented rice water and deep conditioner and it worked for me

[@sapphirehaircare]

I deep condition my hair every two weeks, I wash 1 week condition and then rinse out after 20 minutes and then put in a leave in conditioner then the next week I would co wash then I will put in a leave in conditioner then the next week after that I would wash and then I will put in a protein and I use the same protein you use but for me my hair can only take that once a month that's it thank you so much because a lot of people get confused about moisture and protein and when and how to use it thank you this was very good advice

[@jamlisa4696]

You are describing my hair exactly! The little tiny hairs breaking. Drives me mad! Finally understanding this 'too much protein' thing. When I start this moistu

[@candyluna2929]

I used the aphogee and used the conditioner moisturizer it came with. my hair felt better but still dry. what I did was to leave in a deep conditioner for a full day. after this, my hair has been wonderful!! I finally got it back!!

[@washeabarnett7093]

This is just what I needed to see. I was so confused about needing protein or moisture i am so clear now. Thank you absolutely LOVED the video.

[@enwokie]

I could totally understand you and this is the first video I watched on my quest to understand protein and moisture treatment for hair. Thank you for being simple and understandable... And saving me the stress of having to read through so much on line hair forum and getting frustrated. ☺️😊

[@createurworldwgoodvibes1737]

Thank you Ms.Kimberly I've watch a dozen tutorials regarding protein/moisture balancing your explanation was so clear and concise appreciate you!

[@missbeehaven9903]

Thank you SiS! You explained it very well. My hair is dry! I know now cause i couldn't tell the difference! Your explanation is on point!!! I've experienced both & you are so cute with your big pretty eyes.

[@mssplivinggatesforum1889]

Great video KIm! Now I finally understand the difference between moisture and protein! This video was perfect. Thank you 👍🏽👌🏽💯

[@ravengilliam2736]

Great vid. Your recap says it all. Bas when wet = protein. Bad when dry=moisturize. Thanks!

[@DivaEagle77]

Still, the best video I’ve seen explaining which conditioner I need to use. Thank you so much

[@TAMEKIA28REDD]

OMG!!!!! Thank you sooo much for explaining this.I have been trying for the longest to find a video that would clarify this for me better, and now I know.

[@GorgeousByNature]

You are heaven sent! Thank you. I'm 100% natural and some times it can be a bit tricky, but ur explanation simplified it so much! thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

[@tphip75]

THANK YOU SO FREAKING MUCH!!!! OMG! I was SO confused on figuring out when to use protein and when to use moisture conditioners. One thing though. I've read that any time you do use a Protein Conditioner you HAVE to follow up with a moisturizing conditioner right after the protein treatment.

[@earthangel6858]

I've heard that's a good idea

[@YTD07]

*I'm addicted to eye shadows now* 😂😂

[@jbruce]

This was soooo simple thank you! I deep conditioned and blow dried/flat ironed my hair. I unwrapped it and little hairs came out like I needed a trim. I know now I need more moisture. I added some oil to my hair. I usually do my hair every two weeks. Do you recommend once a week?

[@dominiquec1389]

Very nice video. Thanks for the clear explanation. Like so many ppl I researched until my eyes popped out the difference btwn moisture DC and Protein DC. And not only did I feel dumb bc I didn’t understand, (even though I read over it 5 times) but I had to look at other articles, to try to fill in the missing pieces, of course to no avail. So I gave up and came up with my own idea. Your video helped confirmed what I speculated and it was educational without being overwhelming. Thank you.

[@carneathadavis6626]

So, so helpful...I am going on 2 yrs nat, and still illiterate to all that's needed to be nat. But this vid explained why some Utube'rs use protein and didn't. Thank u.

[@saricerichardson8209]

Thank you so much for posting this video. Even though it's been almost 2years since you posted this video it is still helping people so thank you so much. Keep being your self. So cute an comical.

[@goodgrief3179]

Thanks boo I needed this😍 you just put a spark back in attempting to properly managing my natural hair growth journey

[@Shea354]

I absolutely hate the ApHogee two-step treatment with a passion. I tried it twice. The second time I got protein overload and my hair started to break off. And I'm not even really protein sensitive. Use protein all the time, no issues. I used that and my hair got pissed off. I'm gonna stick to my cholesterol treatments from now on.

[@earthangel6858]

What does cholesterol do??

[@Sonialei77]

I have Caucasian hair and my hair (after bleaching) will feel gummy with severe damage or looks like wet ramen noodles just out of the shower. Lack of protein has a very distinct feel... stretchy and will curl up when wet... if your hair ends come to a point at the end of that wet noodle like curl, then it's started breaking off at the ends. Regardless of the type of hair, I think it does what it does because of the lack of protein. Very informative video.

[@priscillazulu3700]

Best explanation on need for moisture and protein. Thank you

[@carinaelizabethpaul9785]

I had put the ORS hair mayonnaise and my hair is so soft and silky and the shedding stopped. I was getting ready to do a relaxer but I put the mayonnaise in first to protect it somehow I left it in my hair about an hour. I was so happy my hair felt so smooth and soft I waited on putting a relaxer. I also put in a hair mask and left it in as a leave in mauii hair mask. Now I need to know what bases are to not burn my scalp. I was just going to use Vaseline and I only leave my relaxer on 10 minutes for new growth. I love your curls I need to care for my hair more. Thank you for the tips I'm trying to find a deep conditioner that actually added mousture.

[@christinaobert5664]

I know this is an older video but just want to say how helpful it was. So thank you you made it so easy to understand when and how to tell what your hair needs. So again thank you thank you

[@cherylrougeau3824]

Hi Kim, Thanks for this video. I really appreciate you explaining the concept of when to use a moisture deep conditioner vs.using a protein deep conditioner.

[@MahoganyBelle]

God Bless You for blessing us with this video. I now clearly know the difference between lack of moisture and lack of protein. You saved me from doing my first unnecessary protein treatment! Thank you :)

[@danitamoore9853]

Thank you so much, you explained it in simple terms. Unfortunately, I've recently experienced the dreaded "protein overload" My naivete lead me to believe that any protein rich, keratin rich, silk based product was good. I started with an egg yolk-EVOO conditioner pre poo...ugh hence the protein overload. I am going to try Simplicity conditioner and go from there. I may try the baking soda conditioning treatment. IDK. I really enjoyed your video. It felt like you were speaking to me personally. You have a way of capturing your audience...Brava Kimberly!

[@jamlisa4696]

When I start moisturizing, how long before my hair stops breaking? Really like your channel Kimberly

[@cressidaaaaa]

facial expressions are on point. So funny and informative! Thanks for the video. Will def use your tips

[@VivaLaDulceVida]

Thank you for this video! It was very very helpful. I have one quick question though...I hear a lot of people say that you should do a protein treatment after relaxing, do you agree with that?

[@KimberlyHolden]

YES!!! I definitely agree with that one. When you relax your hair, you are weakening your hair, so the protein treatment will give some strength back to it. Sometime I will use the conditioner that comes w/ the relaxer, and then just use my protein spray after, but sometimes, if I feel like I need a little more strength, I will use my protein conditioner INSTEAD of the one that comes w/ the relaxer. (I hope this helps) :-)

[@VivaLaDulceVida]

After reading your comment, I relaxed my hair and did a protein treatment right afterwards. My hair felt so much stronger than it normally does! Thank you :)

[@PurpleLoveJNC]

i totally just watched like 30 videos! your personality is addictive. plus your from the east coast, as am i, so i feel i can trust a lot of your advice as far as skin and hair.

[@Aiegelesswords]

Super helpful. You came up in my "what to watch" and now I'm hooked. Just started a new hair journey. My used to be dry but I added moisture so it feels better. There's still breakage so I assume I need protein and I love the ors line so I'll try that! Thanks :)

Such an awesome and helpful video. I really enjoyed it! Thank you!

[@MsMyinspiration]

Hi Kimberly! Thanks so much for sharing this! Now I know I need a protein treatment not moisture. My hair is just like you said....when wet it feels like its going to break and I've been deep conditioning but it's not helping. I appreciate you sharing your experience!

[@leteciatomusiak]

Great video Kim. Can I do eitherof these treatments for one hour without heat and still reap the benefits?

[@bernardburns2395]

Thank you so much Kim. Great advice. And you are so CUTE! I'm transitioning from a relaxer back to natural. What a journey ugh. Hope what I learned from you will help me on my way.

[@0625harmony]

Hay Kim first off congrats on making it official with Mamacita blessings to you both. My hair question is I'm trying to find 2 product lines that will give a good balance it is getting costly trying all these products and I'm just trying to get to BSL and right now I'm at collar bone length. I was thinking of just getting the protein and moisture line from Aphogee and be done with it but their moisture line has protein in it too and I don't want to get overload on either side protein or moisture. do you have a moisture only line that you would recommend that includes deep conditioner shampoo and rinse conditioner ? Also I watched your loreal total repair review and girl thank you so much for that cause I love that deep conditioner but it's also protein based 🙄 . TIA

Love the video. Aphogee does not work on my hair either. I wash my hsir weekly. Quick question, is using a hot oil treatment, the hair mayonaise and a leave in conditioner to much to do weekly?

[@candidapeier]

Protein treatment not conditioner right? The ORS replenishing conditioner is the conditioner, this one is a treatment? And the wet vs dry indicator is a great way to know what the hair needs.....

[@BeautyMarked18K]

Thank you so much! This has helped me understand what my hair needs.

[@soulful63]

This video was amazing! Thanks for such great explanations. I definitely need both. Can I use the protein treatment and then follow right afterwards with a moisturizer treatment? I'd only do a treatment every 6-8 weeks. Wondering if there is a reason why the two treatments can not be done one after the other in the same day... Thank you

[@1980tiffani]

That made sooooo much sense😩🤦🏾‍♀️.... smh now I understand why my hair was super hard after using queen Helene cholesterol... it’s protein... 🤦🏾‍♀️

[@fbeemcee]

Thank you! I have been trying to figure out what is going on with my hair, and I think it's sensitive to protein. I bought Shea Moisture Tahitian Noni & Monoi, and my hair felt like a broom. I'm going to try mixing it with some coconut oil and see if that helps. But I'm definitely going to try the Mayonnaise on my next hair trip.

[@ryasa415]

It’s properly because you have low porosity hair

[@shiparahughes]

[@qt4evagirl]

Thank you! I was actually researching this the other day and I couldn't get an answer. My hair definitely needs moisture. I've been doing way too many protein treatments. Thank God I'm not protein sensitive

[@chantelj3257]

You explained it so well! 👏🏾 great video😄

[@ginahudson1111]

Hello. Thank you for this video. Very informative. I have a quetion though. Do you sit under the dryer or not?.

[@nao1163]

according to these tests my hair needs BOTH moisture and protein...so I should alternate between the two every other week?

[@Shea354]

I would, personally. I would start using the protein once a month and either stay there, or increase how often you do it, depending on what your hair tells you. I can do them about once a month. Sometimes twice if I plan to use heat. All the other protein I use comes from styling products. Those are lighter on my hair and I find I don't need to do a treatment nearly as often if a few of my products have protein in them. BTZ has a wonderful protein cocktail spray. It's at Sally's Beauty Supply.

[@kalenaglory2483]

[@charleezy123]

Hi kim. I understand what protein treatment is. I don't understand what moisture treatment is. Is this the normal moisturizing I do using the water based product and sealing?

[@DianaVanessaful]

thanks for the tips i'll try do follow em'. By the way i have a question, what do you think about wearing clip in hair extensions? Because i wear them, my hair is so short and i dont really like it, so i was wondering if clip in extensions might help the breakage of my hair, I used to wear sew in but i stopped because my hair was longer but weak as well, then it started to break, i'm using clip in extensions now that my hair is shorter, and i don't really wanna go natural :( helpp!!
