Reddit mentions of Mill Creek Botanicals Keratin Shampoo, 14 oz

I haven't been to a salon in years, last time I went I know must have been when my mom took me so I was still probably a teenager, I can't really afford it on my own. I started trimming my own hair because it's super easy and absolutely free. I use a pair of scissors that I've basically only ever used to cut my hair with, but I've never sharpened it and it's not like professional hair cutting scissors or anything.

I don't know what BBB is unless you mean boar bristle brush, I've never owned one of those and never wanted to because it seemed like it would never get any tangles out of my hair and only make it fluffier/frizzier. I know different now and when I bought my detangler brush I also looked for a boar bristle brush but they don't have a huge selection at grocery stores and the only one I could find was a nylon blend that was mostly nylon with like 2 or 3 boar bristles in each tuft. I also looked online for one but a lot of them seem to be fake and one I saw on amazon said 100% boar bristle brush but the pictures and reviews all looked/said it was a nylon blend,so I haven't got one yet. I thought I should probably buy one in a store so I can actually see if it's 100% boar bristle and not fake. But I don't want to spend $30+ on a hairbrush either.

Currently I am using Shea Everyday and Shea Moisture, specifically these: https://alaffia.com/shea-shampoo-lavender/

And actually what happened here was, I bought the Shea Everyday forever ago but it's a HUGE bottle so I never was able to use it all, especially because I never quite liked the way it made my hair feel. I ended up buying two bottles of Shea Moisture on sale, but I thought one was a shampoo and the other was conditioner.. then one day I noticed they were both shampoos! I stopped using both and only used the Shea Moisture one I thought was the Shampoo until it ran out. I didn't use conditioner during that time because the only one I had was the Shea Everyday and it usually made my hair oily. Now when I wash my hair, I first use the Shea Everyday but it makes my hair feel weird, like almost waxy immediately after I wash it out. I just use it to one, use it up and get rid of it, and two, wash out all the crazy oilyness from my hair. Then I wash my hair a second time with the Shea Moisture to get rid of that waxy feeling I don't like. Then I only condition the ends with the Shea Everyday Conditioner so it doesn't make the top of my head oily. Doing this my hair is currently not oily when it dries, but previous natural shampoos I have tried have left my hair oily, but I stopped buying those. Even so, I always put the shampoo right on top of my head and rub it into my scalp like my mom taught me, I don't think it's because I didn't scrub deep enough into my hair. I always just thought the natural shampoos with their natural moisturizing oils got stuck in my oil magnet hair and since they were too gentle to strip my hair of oils it just left my hair oily. That and/or whatever conditioner I used was too oily and left my hair greasy and wouldn't wash out completely no matter how much I rinsed.

ANYWAYS, I'm actually about to run out of the Shea Moisture in the next wash or two, and I already bought my next shampoo and conditioner which are these: https://www.amazon.com/Mill-Creek-Organic-Keratin-Shampoo/dp/B000FIJ24C

https://www.amazon.com/Mill-Creek-Botanicals-Aloe-Conditioner/dp/B00014H5VW?th=1

But now after reading more about hair recently, I'm worried that it might be too much protein? Will it even matter if I only wash my hair once or twice a week? Is the Aloe Conditioner enough moisture to balance out the protein? I haven't tried these yet so I don't know how it will affect my hair.
