What is a protein overload ?
A protein overload is when there is an imbalance between the moisture & protein in your hair. By your hair having too much protein will cause it to feel coated, super dry or brittle.
By dry we mean after shampooing and conditioning your hair drys extremely fast even after applying oil. As if you never moisturized your hair.Â

Protein vs Moisture
Checklist
Protein Overload (needs moisture)
- Lacking defintion
- Hair is stringy and rigded
- Products not working like they use to
- Frizzy
- Breaks easily with tension
- Super Dry (feels like straw)
- Tangled
- Hard to Detangle
Moisture Overload (needs protein)
- Limp
- Sticky
- Curls lack definition & pop
- Too soft and cant style it
Say after washing and deep conditioning (or just plan ole or conditioning) giving your hair moisture but it is lacking some curl definition, curls unable to retain form or is silky smooth soft. This is when you would need a protein treatment to balance the moisture.Â
If it absorbs the water and dries fast even after adding hair moisture oil ie. Aragon oil and it continues to absorb all oil retaining no moisture. Then you need a moisture treatment to balance the protein overload.Â
