If you are moisturizing your hair often then it is important to check the ingredients – does your moisturizer contain protein?
If it does, depending on how frequently you moisturize your hair, you may be giving your hair too much protein. If you moisturize daily with a moisturizer that contains proteins and you find that your hair is feeling brittle and dry, then you may want to decrease your use of that moisturizer and opt for a protein-free daily moisturizer instead. Here are 8 protein-free moisturizers that are popular in the curly community.
