*Strand test: pull a hair strend with your hands to see how much elasticity it has. If it breaks easily/resistant to spring. back, then chances are your hair needs more protein.
Usually, I would mix up some Greek yogurt, egg, honey, coconut milk & avocado oil but I ventured out and tried an OTC product...ORS (formerly Organic Roots Stimulator) Hair Mayonnaise. I chose this because its a deep conditioner & protein treatment combined.
While it is enriched with olive oil, egg protein, herbs & wheat germ oil; it is NOT an all natural product...by far. It contains alcohol, cones & bunch of other chemicals...like a bunch:( but the results were absolutely amazing!! My hair is much more manageable, shiny, super soft and my curls popped & sprang back to life.
The process was simple(the usual):
Washed
Detangled & Sectioned hair
Applied product
Covered w/cap (directions say 15mins) but I did overnight
Detangled (again...smh@my kinks)
Rinsed
Styled: not so mini mini-twists
Unfortunately I ran outta time for pics. As my hair grows... bra strap length...wash times are about 5 hrs now....patience is a virtue I suppose.
Overall: loved the results...not the ingredients. Not 100% sure if will use again. I will continue to research more natural options to repeat in another month or two.
Hope this is helpful.

Yes! I have used this before in my permed life, so not recently but I remember it being a good product!
