Anytime your hair is too soft, feels gummy or mushy, isn’t holding styles well-a combination of all the above and then some, all are ways to know when its time to do a protein treatment. And if you’re unsure and want to dry a treatment not as strong as the Aphogee 2 Step, they do have a Curlific line also. Hope that helps:)

Same here and it was the most frustrating thing ever!

With all these new products, it’s good to see older products are still doing the trick. My stylist back in the 90’s when I was in high school used to do Aphogee treatments on me when my hair was relaxed and it was like magic potion lol. She cut my hair into a short bob at the top of the school year because of damaged ends. By the end of the school year (which is really 9 months later) my hair was back pass my shoulders and thicker. Recently, my bestie who is natural had damage and stripping from a bad braiding experience. She said her stylist told her she needs to get protein treatments in between her moisture treatments. It did wonders for her hair. I was like I gotta try this myself but what would be a good protein treatment. I googled Aphogee and your page popped up. Good to see this product still works amazingly well, even on natural hair. Thank you so much for sharing this. Your hair is gorgeous!!!

I slept in my DC (on accident) woke up CRYINNNNNNN, cause I had moisture overload. ORS hair mayonnaise did it for me! Just treat it like a DC and you’re good.

I literally experienced this during my last wash n go and I was so disappointed. I’m definitely going to try a protein treatment this weekend!

Thanks for sharing! I’m gonna try this, my hair has been super weird lately and I thought I was gonna have to do a cut. I’m hoping this fixes it 🤞🏾

Omg I have done that before but I didn’t realize why!!! I actually loved it when it was soft!!! Now I know to give my hair some protein!!!

Hair looks bomb!!!! Let me go ahead and do a protein treatment on my hair before my hair gets too soft 😫💀

Also if you want a more inexpensive option try the rice water rinse and if you let it sit for more then a day use peppermint oil or whatever essential oil you like to mask the smell and let it sit for 10-20 mins in your hair before or after you shampoo. I used as a pre-poo so far and it does help strengthen the hair.
