Back with a #hairbasics video sharing everything you need to know about protein and your hair as well as some protein hair products. If you have wavy hair, curly hair or even straight hair, using protein in your hair routine can be beneficial to your hair if you know how to use it correctly. In this video I share the basics on how to go about using protein on your hair and protein hair products that I love.

Hi thanks for the video but Luscious Curl Cream with Flaxseed Oil doesn’t have any protein it has oils, Flaxseed oil doesn’t contain any protein unless it’s hydrolyzed.

[@Mandi.Pandi.]

I'm finding myself binge watching your videos lol. You're great. I tend to shy away from protein because I have dry hair and I live in the desert so.. extremely dry climate but I do find that my hair appreciates it when I over moisturize. I'm still learning how to care for my hair. I just recently over quarantine decided to embrace the wave so there's a learning curve here.

[@MsLinoi]

I have medium strands and lowporosity and my hair loooves aminoacids. They somehow actually feel hydrating on my hair whereas most proteins make my hair feel slightly stiff pretty easily. Other than that I do like to use conditioners with Hydrolized wheat or rice protein. My hair also needs more protein in the summer than in winter (I think that's linked UV damage and the humidity ) I've been quite afraid of protein overload when I started wearing my waves, partly because I gave myself protein overload with ricewater😂 and because some people still say that lowporosity hair doesn't need protein which is so wrong 🙄

I love the Shea Moisture protein power treatment. It saved my curls after I dyed it at home. I love the smell so much and I can't rave about it enough. I love the Dippity Do gelee. Gives me nice definition with a lighter hold and fluffier curls. Thanks for this hepful video. I am also hoping for the border to open soon too, I miss Ulta!

[@alysha7502]

I also really love the gel from Curly Girl Movement! I think it is comparable to the Briogeo one, but CGM is I think with a bit more hold. It's actually still a light hold gel, but less than the one from Briogeo. And if you think you're suffering from hygral fatigue, I recommend the Ecoslay Matscha boost mask. It really is FULL of proteins and it doesn't add a lot of moisture for your hair. So it's perfect for those who definetely have moisture overload or fine wavy hair that gets weight down easily!!

OMG i have fine hair and when i did the rice water rinse my hair was breaking like crazy lol ever since then, i learned about my hair tyope

[@Maharetsamarasuke2]

Hi. Thanks for the content and explanation on protein. Random question, what is your shade of lipstick here? I know you get asked this a lot. I think you could add them to your description box, if not too much work, as I see you did a video with certain shades.

[@aprilwhite515]

Thank you, Suhanna!!

[@AlolaWitch]

I love your videos and have a question for you if you have time. How do you find out porosity, density, and things like if your hair is fine/medium/coarse? I think mine hair is between 2b and 3a (not sure yet) and I just can’t seem to get it feeling/looking healthy and way less frizzy.

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

Hey! I actually have an entire video on density and diameter so you can refer to that with finding your texture and density. As far as porosity goes, most people have more than one porosity on their head. You can grab a strand and spray it with water, if your strand immediately absorbs the water it’s high porosity, if it just sits on top of the strand it’s a lower porosity and if it’s somewhere in between it’s medium porosity.

[@Ava-no3hs]

If most of my products have proteins (conditioner, leave in, gel), then do I still need to do protein treatments? If so, should I use different products on the day that I do the protein treatments?

[@Ava-no3hs]

I have 2C-3A coarse hair that has never been dyed or heat styled

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

Not necessarily, of course everyone’s hair needs will be different but if most of your products across your routine include protein you don’t have to do a separate treatment.

[@lindasue8719]

Very timely! I just bought a bottle of protein shampoo for the first time ever. I've always been big on moisture but my hair has just being a big dried out thatch lately! I have to admit, I'm a bit afraid to be using it, I don't know how long it will take to grow out any damage it could possibly create. Time will tell! I've done the stretch test, and it's just not conclusive.

[@melaniesorto5956]

I don’t blow dry my hair I just let it dry on its own .. is that bad??

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

No lol

[@melaniesorto5956]

@@SuhannaDeSilva oh alr tyyyy

[@exploreworld6508]

Nice video

[@archayao]

This video is very helpful !! But i think that my hair is just allergic to protein because my hair never looks good after using protein mask, they have a lot of frizz, my hair don’t shine at all and look like a mess. But still i learnt a lot ! Thanks !! 💕

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

Oh yeah that sounds like protein sensitivity, focus more on moisture!

[@archayao]

@@SuhannaDeSilva thank you for the advice !
