[@HairliciousInc]

Fellow nerd here 🤓🙋🏾‍♀️ so happy it was helpful to you. I had to break it down the way I would like it taught to me💓

[@galactagal]

So happy to have found your videos. I just returned to practicing law - that with 2 kids requires a simpler routine. Being natural just did not fit my lifestyle. Hopefully more women will be empowered to choose what’s right for them vs. what is on trend

[@HairliciousInc]

Happy to have you here, hun!! Totally understandable. It’s not for everyone, and that’s okay. Enjoy your hair and let me know how I can help💕

Wow! To think I almost stopped watching this video when I realised your hair was relaxed - I'm glad I didn't, because this was just what I needed to learn about! ALLLLL of the products I use are protein laden products, and my hair is snapping off easily and feeling a little crispy. I didn't realise, but apparently my hair needs a lot more moisture ONLY! Thanks for this!

[@HairliciousInc]

Paula, you made my day! Super happy that you continued to watch my video and it was helpful in understanding your hair better. This knowledge can be applied to any hair type, not just relaxed hair😉 Clarify and continue to up your moisture levels to restore balance in your hair💕 Thank you for watching!!

[@LinzeyLiNO]

I scanned my products a few days ago and realised all my products had protein in them and I noticed my natural hair was becoming hard. This video definitely has helped me understand how to read ingredients lists more thoroughly. Although I don’t have relaxed hair this was very very helpful to me thank you so much! Hopefully my hair starts retaining healthy length again and stops breaking too. I have learned how to tailor my products to my hairs needs in this video

[@killingmesoftly385]

This video came right on time!! I need to look at my growing stash and be more aware of my moisturizing vs protein based products!! And loved the quiz at the end, very insightful video!💜💜

[@HairliciousInc]

Yessss!! Love to hear it🙌🏾😍 Thanks for sharing this.

[@princessosquala]

Yessss I was just wondering these things !! People say put protein in your hair by using this conditioner ... and I’m like wait ? This has protein in it ? I didn’t think that conditioners had protein in them .... but wondering why My hair still comes out dry with breakage !!! And I really needed this video !!!

[@HairliciousInc]

Happy to help, girl. Yes, many conditioners have protein in them and it’s good for the hair but you have to be aware of it, know why you’re using it and balance it out with moisture in your regimen.

[@jennyschatocastle6123]

Thank you for answering all my questions. I've relaxed my hair after 10 years. And your page was recommended by another KZbin vlogger. Protein has always been confusing to me. And I didn't realize the products I used had protein in them as I questioned why my hair is so hard after deep conditioning. Now, I'm understand the difference. I can't thank you enough🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿

[@faithminusfear]

I certainly learned more about choosing products for my relaxed hair. Thank you for sharing great contents. One thing I battle with on my hair journey is being a product ' junky ' but I am consciously making efforts to discipline myself.

[@HairliciousInc]

It can be challenging especially in the beginning when you are learning what your hair likes & dislikes. But with time continue to narrow down and focus on what works best. Perhaps top3 per category?

[@tisser5716]

Girl, you took us to school on this one. Complete with objectives, class content and a test at the end. It was kind of fun. I learned so much about moisturizers and proteins. Never really gave either any thought. I have some of those products. No wonder why my hair is dry sometimes. It's because I was using these products the wrong way.

[@ninanano]

This video actually helped a LOT you have no idea!!! I searched for videos on protein treatments because my hair has been looking dull and the curls aren’t as defined as they used to be, I was looking for product reviews to know what to buy. Turns out the hair mask I use once a week (when I wash my hair) is protein based and I might just have buildup. I Googled “signs of protein hair damage” and my hair checked every mark 🫣 so now I’m going the opposite direction and getting some moisture, something I’ve known my hair likes and needs more of anyway. Thank you so much beautiful ❤️❤️❤️

[@HairliciousInc]

Hey Nina!! Truly happy to help💕 I’m glad that this video put you back on track and you’re able to understand what your hair needs which is super important!! Wishing you a successful hair journey hun🫶🏾

[@serenityeverett2002]

Omg thank you so much,in my whole 7 year's if being natural I never new I how to distinguish between moisture and protein this helped me out so much. I have low porosity hair so I need more moisture than protein and now when I go shopping I will now know the difference . 💗💗💗💗💗💗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗

My former hair dresser educated me on the difference between protein and moisture based products. I had no idea that constant use of protein products actually weaken the hair shaft and will result in excessive shedding. My hair was THIRSTY!! I totally appreciate the knowledge, now my hair is thoroughly QUENCHED!

[@brosialane]

That video was extremely helpful and I loved how you gave us a chance to see if we understood what you said. Thank you so much!

[@gloriayesadams599]

I am so glad to have found your video too. Super insightful! Now I know the reason for my breakage is due to over-use of protein conditioners. Will be checking the labels to identify moisturising conditioners (now I know what to look for) and incorporate them regularly into my wash routine. Thanks also for the helpful test at the end.

[@zainabusman2459]

This was thoroughly explained and extremely beneficial for all hair types. I’m a natural and I cannot thank you enough for this. Bless you

[@traceylennon1204]

Tetra peptides is a protein thank you!

[@PierfrancoMinsenti]

Thank you so much for this video! I have high Porosity hair and they are also very thin and low density. So they are prone to be dry and frizzy. Humidity, whether from rain or in hot Summer days kills them instantly. But also the heat when I use blow drying. Then I need above all moisture. Now I better understand the difference between moisturising products and protein based products!

[@gt8509]

That aphogee looks like a great product its got quite a bit of moisturising properties. I see it had squalane and penthano, looks like a balanced product and if they sold it in my country I would definitely get it l

Back to the basics👏🏾👏🏾 I needed this cos I felt an urge to step up my moisture game. And thank you for the product labels you showed and how interactive this was😘

New subscriber here. You had me pulling out all my products and reading. Can I tell you, protein was in almost everything I have in my products.

Thank you.

[@srich28]

This was sooooo helpful! I just realized that my a majority of the products I use are protein based (ORS line). No wonder I have issues with moisturizer. I’m gonna switch it up though. Thank you ❤️

[@HairliciousInc]

You see! Protein seems to be hidden in everything but once you know your ingredients, you're good to go. Thanks for watching hun.

[@sfanelempanza5073]

I noticed my ORS products were drying my hair, and when I read ingredients, it was everything bad. I don't understand how its so popular maybe they just weren't working for me😢

You’re literally the best ❤️ I have products that are drying my hair out and I’m like whyyyyy it says all these things but I never knew how to go off the ingredients not just a “pretty bottle” and “fancy words” lol this helped me a lot!! I will now look at the ingredients. Everything I have is mostly protein based and here I am thinking I’m doing something good. You’re a life saver!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@beatrizdacosta3164]

OMG thank you so much for this video, I've decided to learn more about my hair and start my journey, and these two have been very confusing to me. I just noticed that I've been using only protein products for months because I didn't know how to differentiate them and know my hair is brittle and the texture is so bad. You are the first one that really explained, thank you

[@VonnieVon2009]

Thank you so much for researching and then doing this video! This is the exact info that I need. There are SO many videos that just tell us the difference between needing protein and needing moisture. But this is the first one that I’ve found that actually breaks down what that looks like in hair products. So, THANK YOU! If you need ideas for videos (and you haven’t done one on this topic yet), it’d be very beneficial for us to know what different oils do on our hair. For example, i believe that some are more penetrating, whereas others are heavier and sit on hair. some are good for the scalp, some are good for the follicle. It’d pair great with this video because my next step is to look up what oils to use after I moisturize my hair to lock it in.

I noticed that ORS Creamy Aloe Shampoo which is a clarifying shampoo has hydrolyzed collagen in it..but it's like 10th in the ingredients..should that be a cause for concern?

[@ms.t8313]

I have a relaxer and we have always known that relaxers have harmful chemicals in them, but is anybody concerned about the new report that just recently came out from Oxford University stating that black women that repeatedly use hair relaxers containing LYE could be 30% more at risk for developing breast cancer?

Thank you so much ! I need a moisturizing deep conditioner without protein! Whenever I use protein it messes up my hair and look frizzier. I was using curlsmith hydro cream smoothing mask and my hair absolutely loves it !! The only thing is I purchased it in marshals for $16.99 and ulta sells for $30. I wanted to find a cheaper hair conditioner that can keep my curls looking beautiful. Thank you now I can confidently go to the store and find the right products for me ! ❤

Most edifying video on moisture v protein I've seen yet! Really useful thank you. Watched it twice - AND took notes! Lol

[@prayalways]

Wonderful insight. Professional level information 💥

[@rosemaryarnoldYT]

I recommend avoiding silicone products unless the plan is too flat iron the hair. I steer clear of silicones in any of my conditioners/masks especially like the first moisturiser - the silicone is too near the top of the ingredients list. Anti-static agents are really good (cetrimonium chloride, behentrimonium chloride etc) to help to give hair the right charge and seal the cuticle after wash. I feel like people don't talk about this enough which can be the reason your hair feels 'moisturised' but rough. You could do a whole video on moisture alone: fatty alcohols, humectants, sugars etc.

[@keelaw6749]

New subbie here! I never knew what products were protein unless it said it on the label. I feel informed. Thank u!

Wow this is the best research based video on KZbin I have ever seen. You approached this video as a lecture in college.

Thank you so much I feel so much more knowledgeable about the science behind relaxed hair and how to balance it for optimal health and growth. Thank you!

[@CiarraBell-xi3ei]

a lot of these products have silicones or mineral oil so they will coat the hair and not penetrate it with the protein or moisture you're looking for so i would watch out for those ingredients also. very informative and appreciated video.
