Protein Free Leave In Conditioners For Natural Hair

    FTC: This post is not sponsored, however does contain affiliate links. All thoughts and ideas are my own! 

My protein sensitive ladies don't get enough love in the natural hair community and are usually left with very few options when it comes to products. It wasn't until I went through my own protein sensitive moment (which I'm still having two years later BTW) that I realized that many products out there could be more harmful than good.

Even when crafting up my product recommendation lists for you, I found it difficult/ almost impossible to locate protein free products that were truly protein free. It's like you almost have to be a ninja of some sorts to find products that don't include protein. This is because several ingredients we don't realize can be categorized a a protein such as coconut oil... which is in almost every single natural hair product on the market.

However I don't give up that easy! I've cultivated this list for you with the best protein free lave in conditioners for natural hair. Most won't break the bank, and most are 100& protein free (I've labeled those that have ingredients that may act as a protein in your hair)
