Joico Kpak Leave In Treatment

I had my hair analysis with Komaza and was told I need to switch to a protein leave in (from KCKT and Darcy's Transitioning) and to look for a product with Ceramides and Keratin (High porosity,open cuticles). Joico and Redken don't have ceramides but they have Keratin. Claudie's has ceramides but no Keratin. I have read through the protein threads and see some also like Cantu leave in but I am stuck on what to get. Someone push me in a direction or give me your reviews if you've used all 3, or even just 1. Am I missing a product that I should also consider?

thankya )

Yes, it was actually your review that lead me to the Redken:, it does look pretty good but the PJ in me got me looking at everything else just to make sure because I want to only order 1 product not 4, smh at myself...

Yes, she is temporarily closed for the short term. Did Komaza make any recommendations from their line? I'm looking at a sample of their Matani LI it has hydrolyzed wheat protein and ceramides.

Joico, it has both keratin and ceramides

These are both very moisturizing, but they might not be strengthening enough.

Komaza Matani leave in is an excellent protein leave in. I layer it under a moisturizing leave in when I need. It is moisturizing enough alone, but I use my moisturizing leave in over it to soften my hair more. I already use loads of protein on wash days anyways.

You should try the aphogee pro vitamin leave in (liquid) followed by a creamy moisturizing leave in (silk dream WGBC or your staple). That I believe will give you the best result. You can also use the keratin and green tea from aphogee, but because it got my hair super dry, I can't recommend based on experience.

The claudie coffee cream is great on dry hair, but I find that it sits on MY hair if it's damp.

The redken anti snap does have ceramides (artificial one). The list you have is not the current one though. It's been updated. Let us know what you got, and how it worked.

They rec'd the Pona Scalp Treatment for my scalp issues and the Protein Treatment. She rec'd a leave in that will be out later this month. The Matani is out of stock tho'...
