If your hair is protein sensitive it is said to be that your hair will feel dry, brittle or becomes broken after applying a protein rich product or a deep conditioner. If you apply a super protein rich product in your hair and you start to experience a lot of damage, dull strands and a straw-like texture then your hair is protein sensitive.
This homemade recipe was designed especially for protein sensitive hair so that one’s hair can feel soft, manageable, voluminous, tangle free, hair shedding free and to achieve shiny defined curls.
