In case any of you thought I cared about what you put on your hair... I DONT. It’s yours. You can shit on your head and call it a deep conditioning treatment for all I care. Some of y’all really be pressed ab any AND everything. Y’all ain’t exhausted of being mad about what other ppl do with their lives yet? Just take the tips and dip 🙄

[@alicia_shaun]

Facts frennnnn 💕💕💕💕💕

Tell em sis, like they didn’t click on the video. It’s advice but do what you want, with your hair, she ain’t in ur house with you

[@lamadison1972]

Love your energy. And your posts are informative

[@kailester4807]

Girl wtf happened? Who pissed you off cuz they don’t want that smoke 💨 Ian never heard you pop off like this so they really pissed you off

[@CaraDowneyeroticromanceauthor]

why are people so rude??? the tips and tricks you provide are a suggestion for naturally curly hair. you recommend protein treatments to bring curls back to life if it's needed... if you, as an individual don't want to do a protein treatment, then don't do it. I don't understand why people feel the need to be negative or throw shade with the comments or feed back. do what's best for your hair and do your own research and if you don't like the suggestion or recommendation then keep it moving sis. thanks for posting :-)

[@TheCurlyTraveler]

I’ve never thought about putting in a spray bottle!! That was so smart👏🏾👏🏾

[@asa7423]

Me either! I tried it for the first time and it works wonders!! I also used gloves.. sooo much easier!!

[@kourtneywiththekurls814]

It gets hard in the nozzle and stops spraying. You’d have to use a different one every time or rinse with very hot water

[@karenhorton148]

If I see that my hair is breaking off, like short pieces, I know it’s time...Aphoghee is seriously effective 🌹

[@gentlestormwyatt]

Yessss. I started seeing that recently whilst doing a lot of wash and gos I got my protein treatment today. Can’t wait to apply

[@j.elixir6089]

Word I’m mad asl cause I cut my hair so many times instead of just doing a protein treatments smh. Well ima grow it back it’s already a there so it’s all good

[@animalluver3700]

The front of my hair is definitely looser and protein treatments help a bit. It’s kind of a wavy curl while the rest is tighter

[@FancyNotSeditty]

protein treatments helped your curls in the front tighten? I have that same problem with my curls i the front, not as tight!

[@tonyamontgomery2733]

Me too.

[@kapparhotau181]

My issue is opposite my kitchen has looser curls and they grow and retent length rather I use protein or not. My front and crown refuses to retent length. 2 maybe 3 porosity in my hair. Gonna start doing more protein treatments but will focus more on my front and crown. Maybe put less protein in the back 🤷🏾‍♀️

[@soriyazz]

Listen folks. Shes speaking facts. My dumb ass fell off. Now I'm back to a TWA.😥😥 Used bad products. It really was the products though. Protein treatments are a must.

[@fmsails03]

I was listening to Felicia Leatherwood and she stated that in addition to moisture overload, you may need a protein treatment if you are experiencing a lot of shedding. Also, I tried a new protein treatment by creme of nature, part of their aloe and black castor oil line. The bomb!! It works like aphogee, but with a much better smell.

[@watermelongirl2164]

I’ve never done a protein treatment and been natural 3 years 🤦🏽‍♀️ I’m going to the store.....

[@watermelongirl2164]

@ticklepink thank you so much I’m gonna do some research and try it 🙏🏽

[@liah724]

please do them! i have less shedding because of them

[@kapparhotau181]

I was natural for 10 yrs b4 I knew anything about protein treatments. Just started the end of 2019 using protein. Now I know why I can't retain length. Girrrrrrl 🤦🏾‍♀️🤷🏾‍♀️🥴🤣

[@Aquarian231990]

@@kapparhotau181 did the protein treatment help or not help with length retention?

[@repentedheart784]

I used Aphogee once and I liked it. I’m low porosity but I switch out moisturizing deep conditioners and protein deep conditioners every week and my hair seems to be thriving. I like the ORS Hair Mayonnaise as a protein treatment as well as the As I Am Hydration Elation

[@taylorrogers2014]

Nothing to do with this video but Kim got me out here moisture training my hair, washing and deep conditioning weekly (during quarantine season)

[@KimberlyCherrell]

I love ittttt

[@loriward8741]

Me, too!! So glad I found her channel!!

[@brwnhilarybanks9953]

YESSSS! This video is needed. not many hair bloggers on here emphasize the importance of having a balanced regimen of alternating protein and balance! I also see so many naturals lost on why they got either protein overload or hydra fatigue and need to recover their hair. not realized they were doing too much of one or the other.

[@KimberlyCherrell]

You’re absolutely right

[@brwnhilarybanks9953]

@@KimberlyCherrell yep, since i went natural i always used a balance masks bi weekly.

[@EmilyAriana]

I used to be scared of protein treatments because I was low porosity until I seen your protein overload video. I was doing Henna treatments once a month and I barley got shedding during wash day, my hair stopped breaking and shedding and my curl pattern was sooo defined. I feel off tho, I gotta start doing it again.

[@vee3133]

I love henna treatments

[@Laysplace23]

I see a lot of comments about waiting til hair is broken. Please don’t wait. I use deep conditioning products with protein to keep my colored, high porosity hair strong. I also use the aphogee green tea reconstruction with my leavin as regularly as I can. That two step though, it’s the business. I don’t like the conditioner it comes with though lol.

[@briannawoodard8546]

Fren I apply a protein treatment about once every other month and on the month where I'm not doing a protein treatment I incorporate a protein deep conditioner at least once a month.

[@esinart93]

I used Aphogee as a kid when I had a perm but when I went natural 7 years ago I forgot all about protein 🤦🏾‍♀️ I was lazily doing my hair up until 2018 smh. Watching your first video on protein is the reason I started doing them again and my hair is thankful. I do a protein treatment every 6 weeks now

[@michelle0877]

Did you see any retainment from doing protein treatment? Do you do oil treatments as well ?

[@HealyMeans]

great video. i stay with Aphogee 2-step protein treatment on my shelf. depending on what my hair is doing, i use it up to 3 times a year. that 16oz bottle lasts forever. i don't like the balancing conditioner, so after that (cuz i still use it, per the directions), i follow up with a moisturizing deep conditioner. stay safe

[@shadacreator5066]

what if i only have the actual protein treatment? does it matter?

[@BrisaniAshley]

@@shadacreator5066 yes. you need a moisturizer or conditioner after the protein treatment because it will leave your hair extremely dry.

[@mistydavis9870]

I wish I could just come to Georgia and let you get in my head so I can know exactly what to do 😩 I’m only 2 hours away! 🤣

[@rafaelacabral8226]

First time adding the leave in conditioner in the shower, the best thing I've ever done to my hair, thank you so much Kim😍

[@iaishabarron]

You ain't have to tell me but once frennn I balanced my routine after you got protein overload. I had to listen at that point since I had to cut 4 inches off my hair. It's growing back so much fuller and stronger than before I balanced my routine. I need all my potential strands since I'm low/medium density.

[@songcry23617]

You did the same protein treatment when you freaked out about your hair being way too soft. I guess it was due to moisture overload. :)

[@iloveeeroro]

I used your plastic cap trick when I was twisting my hair so it wouldn't dry out & BABYEEEEEE.... You just did something! lol.

[@loriward8741]

I hear you, Roisha! Just that simple tip has made such a big difference! Good for Kimberly Cherrell for sharing her knowledge and experience!!

[@isabelfrn1305]

Shes funny. you gotta make light of the situation. She's such a joy to watch

[@amothersjourni]

I’ve never had a protein treatment. I guess I should, but I’m scared my hair will fall out lol 😩

[@CurlsofaCPA]

People ask me this all the time so I'm very curious to know what you got to say lol I got that scurl in my hair now do teach us 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@BelleMbwese]

Honestly I’ve been LOVING your content! Your personality just tops it off. I have low porosity hair too. I don’t tend to do wash and gos much but I did this yesterday after watching your video (did the hair mask, wash, deep conditioned etc) and my curls were flourishing!!!. Putting leave-in in the showing always does work best for me! But girl thanks for your tips/methods!!! So helpful👌🏾🤍

[@sabrinaalexander4750]

I have all four parts of your moisturizing system saved on one one my playlist. I'll be adding this right-along with it 😀😀

[@kembekeys5496]

I’ve never done a protein treatment since I’ve been natural which is almost 3 years. Never felt like I needed one. I’m going to try the once a year though. I just don’t want to ruin my hair

[@kaylaj.3743]

Protein treatments are really good! For me, it helped my products soak in better and it really helped with my ends.

[@elisahelton7369]

Know I don't know if I'm using to much protein. I do a light protein treatment weekly sometimes every other week. I have extremely fine hair and my hair loves protien. I make sure I moisturize to keep the balance. I've never gotten protein overload before.

[@taviarenee1911]

I have fine hair too ....I think weekly protein is necessary for me too. What do you mean light protein

[@Brooke.Michelle]

I really need to do better keeping up with my protein treatments 🤦🏿‍♀️

[@sweetee3886]

Me too, it’s so messy and that aphogee stuff stinks. I’d rather pay someone to do it for me.

[@MsBrooklyn11232]

I recently just did a protein treatment on my hair and the treatment was the 2 step protein treatment by Aphogee. I do the Aphogee 2 step protein treatment once every 2 months just to keep my hair in check and to prevent it from breakage! The Aphogee 2 step protein treatment stinks, but it is a very good protein treatment.

When I tell u I started following your regimens and advise my hair has started growing and curls start popping! Thank you thank you!!!!!! And remember #putyourbonneton!

[@kapparhotau181]

Whipping it will make it foam and easier, less messy to apply. You can apply it quicker and it gives a bit of detangling properties while in the foam. 2 ppl on YT have tried it. I have a mini electric whipper or you can use a whisk. My next time I put in a protein that is when I will try that

i be scared to do a protein treatment🙆🏾‍♀️ idk if my hair needs it or not like my hair honestly looks and feels healthy but one cant hurt rightt??😭

[@Theredheadguru]

If you don’t know you need it don’t do it seek a professional stylist to help you determine that don’t just put anything in your hair

[@kwazzik5453]

We in the same boat sis..

[@dayinmylife98]

I feel like it depends on your porosity. I personally have low porosity hair. When my hair has too much protein it gets straw dry, and starts breaking off. So I would just wait until you see signs.

[@Ella-bw3bz]

Do a protein treatment every six weeks if your hair doesn't have any heat damage, or is not color treated. If you apply heat on your hair constantly, or you have color treated hair, than you do one every two weeks. Otherwise, just pay attention to what your hair needs.

[@fatherfemi7641]

estherooo girl same😂 I just use a deep conditioner that ik contains proteins every 4th washday or so, like a hair mayonnaise or I like vo5 collagen conditioner. That way don’t over do it

[@deirdre669]

Fren, I’m still confused. I’ve been using a protein deep conditioner once a month and no protein in my other products. How often should I do an actual protein treatment? (Low porosity hair)

I mean if you keep up with it you should be good girlfrannn! It’s for the ppl that still don’t think they should be doing it at all.

[@AtiaBasha.]

I use the ApHogee Intensive Two Minute Keratin Reconstructor, and it scared me so much after I put it in, because my hair felt so matted I couldn’t even detangle it. I ended up using the Aussie moist afterward to detangle and it felt fine. I think I’ll use it again just because I like that it’s less strong as the two step that you’re using, but it still gets the job done for protein.

[@deborahdunn2496]

I'm going to do a protein deep conditioner this weekend, my hair needs it, and I found a Redken detox and clarifying shampoo to use. Man our hair is needy, clarify moisture and protein

That’s why my hair feels so stringy now it needs a strong protein treatment. I usually use protein deep conditioners but I guess they’re not strong enough.
