If You Need a Great Protein Treatment (a strong one), It's coming In November!

I'm a fan of the CURL JUNKIE line of products. I got to test the upcoming new protein treatment by this line, and it was VERY strong (like Joico K-Pak deep penetrating reconstructor, without the mineral oil).

It's white, creamy, with a scent that hit me like a sweet vanilla coconut. Don't know what the final scent might be. It really gave my curls amazing SPROING, and even though I do non-clumping type of styling (cause I prefer volume), my hair wanted to clump after this treatment. :)  I didn't clip and still got root lift just from the sproing of the hair itself.

I used it the way I'd use Joico K-pak's hardcore protein. I put it on generously on all hair and covered with a processing cap and used heat (soft bonnet dryer) for 20 mins. Then rinsed and added condish (Curl Rehab this time as that's no protein condish). I didn't do the 20+ minutes of it (my hurry), and still it felt good.

I'll need to have a deep conditioning soon, cause I didn't deep condish long enough after this protein treatment (only 10 mins). I liked the result and pics are up on my Fotki for September 2010 (I did the treatment 9/22).

Note that there is shine. My hair is not naturally very shiney, though I enhance that with Curls in a Bottle (which I normally use as a finishing product for taming frizz and shine, or for refreshing curls). This protein treatment somehow added shine. I like that:

Oh, I needed a trim. Hadn't had my hair trimmed in FIVE months in the pics.

Good stuff.

The protein treatment should be out in November of this year.  Other new Curl Junkie products will be out October 1, and I strongly recommend the Curl Queen gel for fine-haired ladies whose hair doesn't respond well to glycerin. My hair loved it.

If you have weak/easily broken hair and need a strengthening rinse out condish (and you have normal to oily hair, not dry), then consider the upcoming strengthening condish by this line.

A lovely leave-in is due out, too. So make sure to visit their website on October 1 to see what's new.
