For me, when my hair feels "limp and/or too soft" I implement protein, and when my hair feels "dry and/or brittle" I implement moisture. Listening to my hair took time and like you said patience, but it worked out for the best! Best of wishes to you + Cheers to us!<br /><br /><b>XO | <a href="http://www.kimberlyluxe.com/" rel="nofollow">KIMBERLYLUXE</a></b>Kimberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06613147580422334681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074195642321007847.post-14559967413675370982013-08-20T14:44:49.073-04:002013-08-20T14:44:49.073-04:00Your one year anniversary is coming up, I think yo...Your one year anniversary is coming up, I think you have a lot to be proud of, think am just coming to terms with moisture and protein, it's definitely not a 'balanced' scales as I thought it was!

I think my leave-ins are working okay so far for both textures (my hair seems to feel softer when I set it and air dry versus air-drying without setting for some reason.) I'm still trying to figure which DC will work best for both textures. I think my texlaxed hair needs more moisture. Would it be best to use two DC's (one for my texlaxed roots and one for the bone straight ends).<br />As far as breakage your post made me feel better when you mentioned that breakage "will happen" when transitioning, but I just don't know how much is too much. It seems for the most part that the hairs that come out when I detangle most of them have bulbs. So I think the shedding is more than the breakage.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11817018214077005498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074195642321007847.post-23628482188001538572013-07-13T15:28:08.345-04:002013-07-13T15:28:08.345-04:00Thanks, Andrea!

Just hang in there! You will get some breakage, you just have to keep it minimal. Are you removing shed hair thoroughly on wash days? Does your leave in and conditioner leave both texures soft and manageable? Does your hair stay moisturized after you MnS?Age in ATLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07547984641675832172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9074195642321007847.post-59627994177672747492013-07-13T06:37:25.467-04:002013-07-13T06:37:25.467-04:00I heart that thickness soo much!!!

Every wash day, every time I moisturise and seal I'm always like 'argh shed hair! argh why so much breakage?!' but I just don't know what's normal for me yet. I know my hair likes protein cos it's high porosity (I think lol!) and needs it because of the relaxers but balancing with moisture...not quite there yet and don't even get me started on my nape!! <br />Perseverance, patience, positive thinking and prayer!!
