Product Information

Customer Review: “Love this product!!! It is so moisturizing and the slip makes for easy detangling. I look forward to wash days with this conditioner. I am a fan of all Mielle products.” 8. Jessicurl Deep Conditioning Treatment I’ve read on many platforms where some women talk about how much their hair hates protein. This is absolutely NOT true and I’ll encourage you to do away with that false thinking. Your hair is made up of proteins, so it doesn’t make sense for your hair to hate itself. The Honest Company's Calm Lavender conditioner is made with hypoallergenic botanicals and essential oils, including moisturizing shea butter, jojoba, argan and coconut oils, plus calming chamomile and calendula. What it does not contain are synthetic and polluting ingredients like silicones, parabens, and phthalates. Porosity refers to how well hair can absorb and retain moisture because of how “porous” the cuticle is. You can also try these products in combination with a product from the same line, to ensure the best results. Sometimes mixing up products from a different brand may cause a conflict in your hair which may provide negative results.

Using ultra-moisturizing deep conditioners promotes hair elasticity and bounciness, giving your mane more life and movement. Before I talk about any protein-free deep conditioner for low porosity hair, let’s first look at why this type of hair doesn’t like excess protein. Selecting moisturizing products for your hair is very important, but it's just part of the solution. Herbal botanicals like green tea, apple, and lemon stimulate the scalp and the hair roots to promote hair growth. It’s hard even just to get the hair wet right away in the shower because water typically beads up on the hair for a while before completely drenching it.

How do I know if I have a protein overload in my natural hair?

This mask combines rich and ultra-moisturizing shea and cocoa butters with the very moisturizing avocado oil to give you the intense hydration that your curly hair needs to be restored. Instead of repairing the hair, the suffocating coating of protein actually makes the hair more brittle. Customer Review :“ This product made my hair so soft. It felt like silk! I love this product. ” 3. TGIN Honey Miracle Hair Mask As for hair care, coconut oil has pretty solid research showing that it can penetrate into the hair very well (better than mineral oil and sunflower oil) and it can prevent hair protein loss as well as combing damage. If you have problems with damaged hair, split ends, coconut oil is worth trying as a pre- or/and post-wash treatment. Labmuffin has an awesome blogpost explaining in more detail why coconut oil is good for your hair. Lorraine Wilde has practiced a primarily vegan lifestyle for the past five years. She has only the highest standards for what goes on her family’s skin and into our delicate water bodies.

She is a firm believer that consumers can make healthy, informed and environmentally-conscious choices to protect their families and our planet.

It’s amazing at detangling the hair, which is why I recommend it for coily and curly hair patterns that are prone to having tangles. Just because you have to avoid protein, it doesn’t mean you can’t take steps to nourish and repair your hair at the same time!When choosing a vegan conditioner, consumers first need to read the label. Make sure the product is clearly labeled vegan, not to be confused with simply cruelty-free,” says Evan Joseph, founder of the Evan Joseph Salon in Columbus, Ohio. “If a product is labeled as cruelty-free it can still be made with animal-derived ingredients." Deep condition your hair every 2 to 3 weeks. You may want to do so even more frequently, depending upon the condition of your hair and what you do to it. Even though our hair needs protein, and a protein-moisture balance is so crucial for healthy hair, the dangerous truth is that if there’s an overload of protein in your hair, it can cause more harm than good. This product contains coconut oil (which is not a protein). This post is about “protein-free products.”

If this sounds like a problem of yours, Jessicurl’s deep conditioning treatment is made just for you.

Be sure to avoid phthalates and parabens as well. Phthalates are used as gelling agents in hair care products because they help lubricate and soften other substances, increase spreadability, enhance absorption and help make fragrances last longer. Parabens are preservatives commonly used to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold in personal products. They act as endocrine (or hormone) disruptors in the body.
