One word to describe my hair lately; BLAH!!

Lately I've been less than enthused about my hair! With the Post Partum Hair Loss and thinning, combined with losing my barber and then my texture playing tricks on me I have been in a hair slump. Mostly I have been wearing my hair in two large flat twists, or like this

The thing which is weighing the most on me is the texture. I miss my curls! Some of you have suggested that perhaps my hair is lacking protein and could be over moisturized. And I think you may be on to something. Natural hair needs moisture, but it also needs protein. Maybe not as much protein as a person with relaxed hair, but we still need it. Embarrassingly, I have NEVER done a protein treatment on my hair. So I got to thinking that perhaps it's time.

I immediately went to youtube and watched Chisellecoutures' video where she showed her protein treatment which she does twice a month. If you are familiar with her, you KNOW she has fabulous hair, so I think I'm going to give it a shot. Right after I finish writing this I am heading to the store to get my supplies. I'm excited!!

Aaaannnnddd I think this mayt be what I need to get some of those tight curls back. Y'all know that my hair was recently cut low on the sides and in the back right?, Well the hair is beginning to grow in a little and the new hair is curling up the way I remember. I guess this is a sign that the longer hair which has been around for a while is missing something. Perhaps protein is that somthing.....I'm hoping that's the case.

Wish me luck! What is your protein/moisture ratio? How often do you do protein treatments? What do you use for protein?
