Does this product work as well with low-porosity hair? Sometimes protein treatments make my hair brittle and dry.

I have fine hair and while it felt good in my hair while it was wet, it didn't really do much for me. Feels more like a cream rinse to me.

I find that this works well with most hair that is already dry. I sell hair and, I USE IT ON MY HAIR EXTENSIONS THAT I SELL. I HAVE MANY compliments on this product; without revealing what product it is. I never get a bad review. Just try it. That is the only thing you can do. Every product is not for everyone. I would rate this a 4 out of 5. To tell you the truth I got a 5 out of 5 complement rating.From hairstylist.

I thought it was working for me. But I have discovered my hair gets thin in cycles, then comes in again. It is hard to tell if it's the Hair Max or not. Knowing what I know now I probably wouldn't buy it again. Hair Max does seem to give my hair body. Not much help, sorry.

I don't have fragile hair, so don't use any conditioner. But I think you could use your regular conditioner. This shampoo leaves my hair squeaky clean and I use lots of gel and spray.

My hair is dry and color treated and it leaves my hair smooth, and silky. When I read the description it did say it works for fine dry hair. Hope this helps you.

Its not good for normal to dry hair. It is good for REALLY dry brittle hair but that's it.

I'm sorry I'm responding so late. But I usually reply the drops to my hair when its dry. It doesn't make a big difference if you apply wet or dry. :) Hope this helped!

This product will add moisture and shine to your hair that will stop the breakage. If your hair is dry, yes its gonna break. This product is a good start in adding the moisture back in. I use it after I shampoo and condition on wet hair to seal in moisture. I also use it on my son's locs and scalp and his hair looks soooooo healthy. Moisture brings life back in your hair. I also use it as a heat protectant when I do decide to straighten my hair.

Hello Elizabeth: no - this product is a hair "thickener" (cosistency of a runny-gel) and should be applied to damp hair. When you hair is dry, you will see the thickening affect it has without any stickiness. It leaves my hair soft & shiny

In my situation I don't think it would have mattered. For me it was the fact that the products have too much protien in them that it was too much for my hair. The damage was done in a short period of time. I have used other products that work much better like Pureology and a newer line Living Proof.

I do not believe so. I use Wen and feel it is worth the expense. Protein is good for repair, but this I did not feel a good protein at all. As well, you need to add moisture back to your hair. Too much protein will cause your hair to be brittle and break. I will not be repurchasing this product. If you want your hair to grow, I'd also recommend good nutritional supplements along with Wen and a good leave-in conditioner. One other thing, when hair is wet -- it is fragile. Use fingers to separate hairs and do not tie it tightly when wet as it will cause breakage. I hope this helps.

I too have never had an issue with my hair feeling dry when I use this product. It's the only product I use every day abs I love it.

As a reminder, this is a professional strength concentrate and should only be used as the instructions recommend. This product is never to be applied directly to the hair - even if diluted with water it is still considered full strength protein if it is not mixed with a conditioner. Conditioners contain oils, waxes, and other ingredients that adhere to the protein and keep it flexible. I cannot stress enough how important this is. Without those, the protein will dry hard, and your hair will break. Also, it is NOT NECESSARY to blow dry or flat iron your hair when using this product. The protein will be there no matter what, to strengthen and protect the hair from breaking. When you blow dry and use styling tools, it is only for a smoothing effect. This will make the hair feel silkier because it smoothes the cuticle - but this is not something that you must do, and in your case, it would be impossible to do this anyway. This product will definitely help the thinning hair at your hair line. Go by the instructions, mix with a hair conditioner or mask, then apply it to any area you desire after a clarifying shampoo, and then rinse out after 20-30 minutes. That's it. Do this every 2 weeks.

Yes, definitely! You have to use a lot of product, and put it in while your hair is still wet, then scrunch, scrunch, scrunch. (I actually put my hair up in a shower cap after putting the product in and scrunching, to allow the curls to take shape without the weight of the hair and water stretching them out.) Once your hair is somewhat dry, you can shake out/scrunch the curls again and they lose their stiffness, leaving you with nice soft waves. I am slightly obsessed with this product :)

It works best on my thick, course hair if my hair is slightly damp but I still get some curl when I use it on dry hair. I normally put in on towel dried hair when I get out of the shower. Then I put in a leave in conditioner because my hair is dry. I get the absolute best results when I use it with Shea Moisture's Coconut & Hibiscus Curl & Shine Shampoo and Conditioner. I'll wash and condition with these then use the Not Your Mother's then let it dry overnight. The results are gorgeous. Good luck!

For me it does not work to put on dry hair, but I also have no tolerance for sticky hair. The way I use the product is to put it on very wet hair (not dripping, but still pretty wet), and it results in the most amazing curls. I love this product, but it is not something I would ever use for a touch up on dry hair - unless I sprayed a section of hair until wet and then applied. For the way in which I use this product, there is nothing else out there like this.

I have used this glaze for at least 12-18 months,and my hair never turned dry or brittle. It always comes out shiny and soft.I have never used any permanent color on my hair.There is no mention of protein on the bottle.

Hi BridgetI would lean toward protein conditioner. I have been using it once a week for couple of months mainly because I have relaxed and fine hair, fragile and was looking for something to reduce my breakage. The mask smells amazing and leaves you with a smooth textured hair, but my breakage did not reduce with the speed I expected. Overall is a nice mask, but a little too expensive for the results. But maybe is my hair....
