In this video I’m talking about something that’s been driving me crazy—every time I use a hair mask, my hair somehow ends up feeling and looking worse. I’m questioning if I might be protein sensitive, because the result is the opposite of what a “repair” or “strengthening” mask is supposed to do. I share my hair type details (2b/2c, fine, medium density, medium/high porosity) so you can understand why certain ingredients might hit my hair differently than someone with a totally different texture or porosity. I’m basically walking through what I’m noticing after masks, why that can be a sign of protein overload for some of us, and why it’s so frustrating when you’re trying to take care of your hair and it backfires. Since I don’t list specific products in this one, I’m also opening it up to you—if you’ve dealt with this too, I’m asking for recommendations and what’s actually worked for your waves/curls. My biggest takeaway is that “more treatment” isn’t always better, and paying attention to how your hair reacts is the only way to figure out what it really needs.
