Too much protein? How would you do it?

[Keshieshimmer]

OK so my hair is in need of a Apoghee hardcore treatment. Since I am convinced that my hair is over-moisturized (gooey, very stretchy!, but very dry in the middle! boo) should I use a protein shampoo and conditioner?

I was planning on this:

shampoo (Joico K-pak)
aphoghee (stinky stuff)
conditioner (Joico intense hydrator)
deep conditioner (hydrating balm stuff)

Thanks!

You could either use a protein shampoo or conditioner but NOT both. Which ever one you decide to use you have to follow up with something moisturizing. Ex protein shampoo followed up with a moisturizing conditioner OR moisturizing shampoo followed up with a protein conditioner. If i were you, i would try to first use a light protein treatment such as aphogee 2 min. HTH.

^ ITA, I think using protein in conditioner form is the best way for your hair to benefit. Your plan sounds good to me, except I wouldn't use both the Intense Hydrator AND the hydrating balm since they are both veryyy moisturizing.
