3rd) Protein vs. Moisture: All hands on deck!

I recently ran into a really frustrating situation.

After spending the last month trying to put back moisture into my hair because of wintertime sucking it all out of my curls, yesterday I went all in for moisture.

I decided to do a pre-poo using coconut oil for 2 hours and then I did a deep masque buy combining Sea Moisture’s JBCO (Jamaican Black Castor Oil) and Cantu’s deep treatment masque (my absolute favorites).

The result instead of amazing was a disaster: way to soft hair with waves going on instead of curls.

I had never stretched moisture so far to the point of losing the curl pattern, so you can believe me when I tell you I was terrified by it. First though "This time I F* it up massively, no turning back, i'm done." (small tear of despair appearing)

Therefore, in a desperate attempt at recovering the curls I have been working so hard to get I did the following masque:

- 1 medium egg

- 1 tablespoon of honey

- 1 tablespoon of Shea's Moisture JBCO masque

- 10 pumps of Keratin spray

Left it for 30 minutes with a thermal cap on and prayed for the best.

Afterwards I washed the scalp using Cantu's co-wash, styled and diffused until 100% dry.

This was my before and after:

(Please apologize me for the poor quality, I promise I'll be talking more about the balance and I'll take proper pictures! Anyway, the diference is pretty clear!)
