Big tub of Cheap Protein

[macherieamour]

I do my proteins as a prepoo (steam towel treatment) but I use soo much on my dry hair that Im constantly out of conditioner.

ORS Mayo is getting expensive sooooo I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for protein conditioners that are good, available in large sizes and cheap

Thanks!

I would like to know this too as I am NOT using my GPB on dry hair. Most of the bottle would be gone.

 

[macherieamour]

Im thinking maybe Mane and Tail or Infusium...they always seem to have big bottles but I dont like toooo much protein in my hair.

anyone???

Hollywood Beauty Olive Cholesterol treatment is great! I purchased mine at Walgreens Pharmacy on sale for $1.99, the regular price is 2.99 I believe. I will definitely going back to get more.

The Hollywood Beauty product does contain egg protein.

My hair is fine/thin.

Sometimes I use MNT as a prepoo and my results are usually soft, shiny and bouncy hair. I also use it for co washes and use it as a leave in (mixture of MNT - The Original Conditioner, distilled water, a moisturizing conditioner, and usually an oil) when I wear my hair up or in a pony tail.

I am still using the same two bottles that I got at Walgreen's around Christmas time.

ETA: The only other product I've used from the MNT line is the Detangler and I didn't like it. It made my hair hard and it tangled more. Go figure!

Also, check out Anky's album. I believe she uses regular mayonaise.

My first vote is for Lekair Cholesterol (Professional). It contains collagen (and keratin--I believe). You can find it at Walmart for less than $2. Plus I double it by mixing it with coconut milk, lime and honey. My second vote would be for MnT conditioner mixed with honey. I try to buy it when it's 2 for 1 at Walgreens or Sally's.

I agree. I like Lekair Cholesterol Plus. It's cheap (less than $2) and it really makes my hair stronger. Sally's also has big tubs of cholesterol but I don't know the price.....it's cholesterol so it's probably not that much.

 

[JazzyDez]

I would like to know this as well. Sounds like a lot of you are using cholesterol.

Macherie, I tried your method twice with keraphix and I love it! Infact I just did it my last wash. But Keraphix is $20 for 13.5 oz and I agree that you use a lot more on dry hair and it would be quite expensive even though I dont use it too often. More suggestions please!

Vitale has a new olive mayo conditioner (30 oz) at jflabs.com for 7.99. I just bought some this week.

I agree with the cholestoral. You can usually get really large tubs for around $6-7 at most BSS stores.

I'm confused too

 

[Bublnbrnsuga]

Too much protein... can it lead to breakage and other problems? Is a clue that you are overusing protein dry hair? Thanks

see, that's what i want to know.

i use cholestoral several times a week...

 

[Mizani_Mrs]

keraphix works good for me. I bought a litre of it on ebay for like $13. i plan to continue buying the large litres from ebay...

I alternate it each week with a moisturizing pre-poo so I dont think Im overusing it. I also wash it out and deep con with a moisturizing cond. When I would do protein the other way, my hair would be dull and hard.

Plus, my hair is pretty dense so I use a lot of cond (both wet and dry) either way. My hair seems to be thriving (Ive been doing this for a few months) so its in the reggie for now

What about the Dominican Conditioners? I used Silicon Mix the other day following your method and I really liked it. They aren't too expensive ... I think you can get a 60oz for under $20; and a little goes a long way. But all dominican conditioners are around the same price and they have a lot of different protein conditioners. Did you check out sickbay.biz or the ibeauty.com site?

 

[missvi]

Could I use 5n1 as a per-poo?
I have a lot and would like use it.

That is an EXCELLENT idea!

My sister uses amazon gold hot protien hot oil treatment. It only comes in 8oz bottle but a little goes a looooong way.

note: It does have animal protien in it (probably gelatin)

 

[divinefavor]

I agree! I just purchased some dominican products from Anky's website. She was very helpful in suggestion the right type of protein/mositure products for my fine hair.
