Use moisturizing, protein-free products regularly to help keep your hair free from dryness and frizz.What to use:Protein-free Conditioner: Regular (2-3x a week) Protein Conditioner: Occassional (1-3x a month) You may still include Protein Conditioner just so you can keep your hair's amount of moisture and protein balanced, and to avoid over-moisture or hygral fatigue.
