What products have protein & moisture properties balanced out already

[varaneka]

I'm wondering if these are examples of products with a balance of protein and moisture. I've heard that those products exist. I'm going to list the ingredients and tell me what you think. Are these moderate/heavy protein products that should be used only once a week? Or can I use them twice a week? What other products have a balance? How do you tell?

I am not sure if i would call these protein conditioners. The proteins are very far down the list: hydrolyzed oat protein, hydrolyzed amaranth protein. You shouldn't have a problem using them twice per week. However, ORS replenishing pak is and example of balanced protein and moisture.

 

[varaneka]

are there some protein ingredients that have weird chemical names instead of just saying protein?

 

[Brendita]

Yes, Creole! There are MANY sources of protein for both hair and skin care, just like there are many different sources for dietary protein. For hair, some are pretty straight forward and easily recognizable like jojoba protein, wheat protein, soy protein. Some are not so obvious. My favorites are Pro Vitamin B, lupine and rice quat. Some product label ingredients only by their botanical names, but that's rare and usually occurs when they have SO many chemicals they have no space to list both the more recognizable name and the botanical name (the botanical name must be listed by law)

[Sonye93]

Are there any more guys? I need a deep conditioner to use during the week, one that can't cause me moisture OR protein overload?

AO GPB is a balancing conditioner, though many here consider it a light protein.
