Hi ya’ll! I have medium density, low porosity keratin treated curls. Formerly 3a but have reduced a bit since my keratin treatment nearly a year ago. Gradually trimming off the treated ends.

I find that my hair does not love protein right now, likely due to the protein overload from the keratin. But too much moisture makes it feels too soft and unstructured. I’m noticing some improvements as I tweak my routines, but one issue remains; my hair simultaneously feels dry and straw like, but then also feels a bit oily or producty - I’m not sure which! Definitely worse on days that I air dry, and I know that’s not great for the scalp too.

Does anyone else experience this or have any insight to offer? Or if there are certain ingredients I should incorporate? Much appreciated!
