BGT and MIF CC's - Protein?

Are BGT and MIF CC's high in protein like 613 and the seasonals?

The Cleansing Conditioners in the 613 line, the Seasonals line, and the Restorative line (BGT & MIF) all have the amino acid complex in them. If you look through the ingredients listings you can tell which ingredients are amino acids because they an "L-" prefix.

FYI, the Wen 101 thread (message #3) has more information on the Cleansing Conditioner lines, and for abbreviations check out the Wen Abbreviations Glossary thread.

The 613 CC is the one that Chaz refers to as "Wen on steroids" and it has the most concentrated amino acid complex.

Chaz refers to the Restorative line as a cross between the Classics (no amino acids) and 613, and that it's most similar to the Seasonals line. Based on that I would guess that the Seasonals and the Restorative CCs have around the same amount of amino acids in them.

The Restorative line also have bamboo water and bamboo extract in them. I know that they contain silica which makes hair stronger but in a flexible way (so that it doesn't break). I'm not sure if the bamboo ingredients also have an amino acid component to them because that would increase their total amino acid content.

I have thin/fine/porous hair and it eats up the amino acid complex for breakfast, lunch and dinner.

That said, even though it doesn't seem to damage my hair, there is clearly an upward limit on how much 613 CC will help my hair. Chaz gave us a challenge and so last fall I used 613 CC for all of my first and second cleanses. After a few months I realized that using 613 CC on a regular basis gave me just around the same results as using the Seasonals. So I switched back to using BGT for my first cleanse and the Seasonal of the moment for the second cleanse because I really enjoy the aromatherapy aspect of mixing up the Seasonals.

Also, in terms of my general routine, I seem to get better results with BGT than with 613 CC. I find this odd since 613 is the most concentrated CC. I'm guessing that the bamboo ingredients in BGT are more helpful in keeping my hair at my best. Probably the natural silica in the BGT is at work.

I've done a number of overnight 613 CC hair treatments with great results. It just seems to perk my hair up. I've never done an overnight BGT CC treatment, so I'll have to give that a try.

Additionally, if I've neglected my overnight remoist treatments, then a 613 cleanse will give my hair a much needed pick me up. In this situation, I get better results than with BGT CC.

I don't know why BGT or 613 CC works better for my hair in certain types of situations... lol, I just let my hair tell me what it wants.
