How I do My ApHogee 2- Step Protein Treatments

How I personally do my protein treatments using Aphogee Two-step Treatment Protein for Damaged Hair

1. Prepping: I pour some of the ApHogee 2-step protein into a spray bottle. It is easier to apply this way.

 

2. Cleansing: First, I wet and detangle my hair with conditioner before shampooing.
   • I find that if my hair is matted before applying the protein treatment, it will be 10 times worse once the treatment dries in my hair.

 

3. Once my hair is tangle free, I shampoo then rinse

 

4. I get out of the shower, towel blot my hair and lightly finger comb.

 

5. Application: With my hair detangled and hanging down, I spray the ApHogee treatment throughout my hair until it is saturated. I pay close attention to the ends.
   • I do not comb my hair with the treatment in it. It dries fast and that could mean combing hair that has already begun to harden or stick together – not good.
   • I don’t wrap a towel around my should because once the protein starts drying in my hair, it sticks to the towel and is difficult to separate from it.
   • The liquid tends to be runny so I keep a towel close by to wipe up the drippings.

 

6. Drying: I immediately sit under the hooded drier for as long as it takes for the protein treatment to harden in my hair.
   • I do not agitate my hair with the hardened protein

 

7. Rinsing: I get back into the shower and let the warm water run through my hair gently softening it up again. (I don’t agitate it while it is still hard)
   • Once my hair is soft again, I properly rinse the remaining protein from my hair.

    

8. Conditioning:  I condition in one of two ways.
   1. I either apply a lot of moisturizing deep conditioner, put on a plastic cap then sit under the dryer again for at least 15 minutes.
   2. Or I apply tons of my regular conditioner (v05 moisturizing conditioner) and put on a plastic cap for about 5 minutes and then rinse.
   • Applying the moisturizing conditioner is an important step for me, It is the only way I can get my hair back to feeling soft and manageable again after being hardened by the protein.

 

9. I detangle and rinse out the conditioner in the shower

 

10. Voila I am done. From there I just dry and style my hair I as normally do.

 

• I don’t use the balancing moisturizer anymore because I don’t think it gets my hair that moisturized. Just a personal preference. It does smell absolutely heavenly though.

 

• I also don’t use the 2 minute Reconstructor by ApHogee . The hard protein treatment I do every 6 weeks is all the protein my hair needs.
