It says to cleanse after, can I use baking soda and follow that with an ACV rinse? Or does it need to be sulfate-free shampoo? <br /><br />If I would need to use a sulfate-free shampoo how far up on the ingredents should I look for protein on a deep treatment? I think my hair is med to fine and med to low porosity.MamaDawnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267256925014265476.post-88748748248452270942009-10-28T21:23:30.290-04:002009-10-28T21:23:30.290-04:00Well good thing my stylist and the curl whisperer ...Well good thing my stylist and the curl whisperer have something in common!

He also said something about wax build up and did this thing where he ran the scissors up and down on my hair but not cutting it then showing me the blade and sure enough there was some white stuff he scraped off.

Protein has everything to do with the texture of your hair: whether it is fine, medium or coarse. Fine-haired girls (and guys) with curls always need the support provided by additional protein in products.<br /><br />Porosity is your hair's ability to absorb and retain moisture. You may have issues with humidity if your hair is overly porous, i.e., the cuticle is permanently raised, leaving you unable to retain moisture.<br /><br />Protein actually can be helpful to highly porous fine hair in humid conditions by sealing the gaps left in the cuticle caused by high porosity. That way, your hair shaft doesn't swell and bloat as much in a high humidity atmosphere.<br /><br />As always, coarse-haired curlies should avoid protein and use ACV rinses to close the cuticle instead.Tiffany Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08299037315423992522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2267256925014265476.post-84243293078725577362009-10-28T17:18:37.419-04:002009-10-28T17:18:37.419-04:00I asked my hair stylist what my porosity was and h...I asked my hair stylist what my porosity was and he said something about moisture? I didn't follow it but he said since I live in Louisiana it is humid here so proteins don't really help? He was very vague about it and changed the subject, so I never found out what he thought it was.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08411691155546139913noreply@blogger.com
