Aunt Jackie's Not Your Average Curl Protein Masque 8oz
Protein masques and moisture masques work differently and they are not interchangeable. Protein reinforces the structure of a damaged strand so it holds together under handling. Moisture makes it soft and pliable. Hair that is breaking usually needs the first. Hair that is dry but strong usually needs the second, and using the wrong one is how people end up frustrated with both.
This is the protein one from Aunt Jackie's, in an 8oz tub and made for curls. Reach for it where breakage is the complaint rather than dryness, and pair it with a moisture treatment on the wash days in between rather than running protein every single week.
Timings and the full ingredient list are printed on the pack, so check there before the first use.
Curls are the texture most often over-proteined, and it shows up as hair that feels rough and brittle rather than strong. If that happens, stop, and go back to moisture for a fortnight.

Application tips
Wash first, squeeze out the water, then coat the mid-lengths and ends and comb it through so nothing is missed.
Watch the clock. Protein left on past its time does the opposite of what you wanted, so set a timer rather than guessing. Rinse it out fully and follow with a moisturising conditioner in the same session. Once a month is a sensible starting point.
Results
Strands feel firmer and less stretchy, and the hair holds together under a comb, so fewer short pieces end up in the sink. Curl clumps look more defined and less limp, and a style keeps its shape for longer.
What you end up with sits closer to structured than soft, which is why the moisture step behind it matters. Overused, it tips the other way and the hair goes stiff and snappy.
