Sri Sri Tattva Protein Shampoo - #30896
I am super confused about my hair lately. Have been using the Sri Sri Tattva Protein Shampoo for like a month now, and while my hair feels softer, I also notice it's kinda weighing down? Like, I expected some volume or something, but maybe it's just how my hair reacts to protein? đ€ Also, who thought that changing shampoos could be this complicated? I was hoping this would help with my frizz, but some days, I don't know, it feels more flat than frizzy? The new routine was supposed to be less hassle, lol. I read some good things about Sri Sri Tattva Protein Shampoo before I jumped in, but I dunno... should I be using it more or less often? My friend said products with protein can build up over time, and Iâm just wondering if thatâs like, happening to my hair. I donât wanna overdo it with the protein and then end up with limp hair forever. Is there a better way to use it? Maybe I should switch up how often I wash or what I follow it up with? Or could it just be my not-so-great styling products? Ugh, such a hair dilemma! Any advice from you all would really help! Thanks!

Doctorsâ responses
The issue with your hair seeming weighed down could indeed relate to protein buildup or how proteins are interacting with your hair type. Hairâs response to protein can vary depending on its specific needs; your regular products may also play a role. Protein in shampoos are generally great for strengthening hair but overuse might lead to excess build-up, especially if your hair doesnât need it as intensely. This could result why youâre seeing it more limp than voluminous.
To address this, consider adjusting the frequency. If youâre using the Sri Sri Tattva Protein Shampoo with every wash, shifting to using it 2-3 times a week may alleviate the heaviness. Observe how your hair reacts after reducing the frequency for few washes to see if improvement occurs. Meanwhile, using a clarifying shampoo once a month can help to remove any excess buildup from the hair, including proteins. Alternatively, switch up to a more hydrating, lightweight conditioner or work in a rinse like apple cider vinegar (diluted) after shampooing to balance the effects.
For frizz control, evaluate your styling products, as some might be incompatible with protein-rich shampoos. Light, non-greasy serums can help without adding extra weight. Ayurveda suggests gentle head massages with oils like bhringraj or coconut oil before washing to nourish the scalp and hair, potentially reducing frizz over time.
As your friend noted, protein treatments should be based on hairâs condition, so less can sometimes be more. Hair should feel strong, not sticky or stretched, and a soft touch is key. Understanding your hairâs texture, porosity, and unique response will guide how often you should use these proteins. Youâre not stuck; itâs about finding that balance between strengthening and moisturizing - quite the journey, but your hair can guide you through it!
