    Unless you're topically applying protein to your hair

    How does one go about applying protein to hair? Can you recommend any solutions?

    You don't know??

    Either cottage cheese or Greek yoghurt, just watch your hair thicken!

    The only side-effect of protein powder is your hair getting swole.

    (chuckle) NICE!

    Did you recently start working out too? Or recently add in weights, or some other change to your routine? The extra sweat from exercise could conceivably contribute. Or, if you're wearing a headband/sweatband or something during workouts that could add to it. Are you washing your hair more with added exercise? Because that can actually stimulate sebum production.

    You recently added in protein powder ... did it replace something else? Maybe what you've dropped was actually a drying factor? And make sure you're still getting enough water now that you're drinking something new ... sometimes it's sneaky things like that.

    Hello all, recently I started taking a protein supplement, and I noticed shortly after it seemed like I would have a residue left on my hair after shampooing and conditioning when it dried. Switched brands too. Seems to be getting worse as It looked greasy last night, but didn't feel greasy. It dawned on me tht the powder was new I my diet, so was wondering if thy can be a side effect of taking the supplement?

    Must.... resist....urge....to..degrade...discussion about.... protein residue in hair....

    All you need is bad aim.

    I have added heavy weight training. I really started to look at my macros and try to hit them, and protein was pretty low for me. Added Greek yogurt, some fiber one bars with protein ad still wasn't there so I added the powder. My intake of water is the same, but I can increase it. I have been working out for over a year. I've never had problems with my hair, it's always been healthy....except when I bleached it...????.....and yes, it at the roots...someone mentioned that. Whatever it is, I don't like it! Sorry for complaining!

    Seems like I hit a sour note regarding protein powders????. I don't know too much about them, that's why I asked. 2-3 weeks is how long I've been taking it.
