Protien Nation.....

Hrrm - I sit back down to the computer after putting in my protien treatment, and what do I see? A thread about using egg yolks in protien treatments! Now, egg yolks are a lot less slimy than the whites, so for my next protien one, I might skip the Remedi and use an egg yolk instead - that would make my protien treatment all natural, which would rock - an all natural DC (Caramel Treatment) and an all natural protien - that would just leave me using conditioner for my every other week 'light' conditioners - and if Irish Moss is all it's cracked up to be, I might be able to cut that out too......

Anyhow.

My measurements for the protien mix were:
1/2 cup yogurt (plus a dribble)
1/2 cup coconut milk (plus a dribble)
1/4 cup Remedi
capful of SAA

It was pretty liquidy, so I made a little thickener with some citric acid + baking soda - I try to use that mix as little as possible as I'm almost certain it turns into a salt (basic chemistry, again!) but it DOES work so well to make a watery mixture a little more 'stiff'.

I used it all, pouring it on top of my hair and then 'squishing' my hair to work it in. Using this on wet hair would have been a DISASTER - luckily, as I hoped it would, my hair just sucked it up. I took a quick hot shower to warm up my head a little - and I think I'll leave it in for another hour or two, then detangle and rinse out.

Speaking of detangling, my hair isn't hardly tangled at ALL!!! I haven't touched it with a comb yet, but as I was squishing it in, the 'clumps' started to turn into 'curls' *gasp*, and the ones I 'tugged' on came right apart - so I'm hoping that combing through this will be a breeze. If the yogurt works as well as a detangler/loosener as it should, things will be justtt fine. We'll see.
