I'm still here like - today is day 10... I HAVE to wash today....But this hair though. I feel like I'm killing perfectly viable curls 😫

[@Aden-corner]

@@AfopeAtoyebi hi just stubbled here on a lazy sunday and wow you are such a God send, I'd love ve my apogee duet but I usually rinse out the protein treatment first before following up with the moisturizing conditioner, just curious is 10 minutes with heat ok for the first step then another 10 the second hit for very fine 3b/3c hair that's lower in density and low porosity .They literally call me mousy head 😂

I JUST bought this treatment because of you Afope ☺ I've purchased and gathered 80% of my products for a 8-week routine so that I can start 2023 off with a set routine and a mix of products for each wash day.. Thank you for helping me in my transition back to natural hair..

[@teedoubleu9602]

@@ummmalekxo6772 I'm still learning but things are becoming a bit easier the more I do my hair and learn from it... LOL... every weather change is bringing about new challenges though😰.. I live in South Korea so it's SUPER humid now.. had to change my styling prodcuts to help keep my hair moisturized.. BUT, the biggest help has been following Afope's 8 week routine.. I at least have the routine to keep me from feeling overwhelmed.. You got this girl !!

[@Brenda89945]

Hey, any updates on your results since the year is coming to a end?

[@teedoubleu9602]

@Brenda-zu7hw I'm 100% natural now, and every wash day is a new learning experience. Afope has helped me a lot on this journey, and I'm very grateful for her shared knowledge. Because I have HP hair, I need to ensure that I have protein-moisture balance on every wash day. Some weeks, my hair goes crazy and other weeksweeks, my hair just exists on my head without issue 😅 I'm in a country with 4 distinct seasons, and every season brings its own challenges. Currently, we've entered winter, and it started snowing last week (this week, we have warmer days with no snow) so the air is super dry and my hair is dry as well. I think it takes diligence to ensure that you hair stays healthy through every changing season.

[@teedoubleu9602]

Also, because there are 4 distinct seasons in South Korea, I have to buy products that will help my hair for that season. So, I've changed my spring/summer products and am now using my film-forming humecants (KCCC, Camille rose curl maker) and other products not containing glycerin (which should arrive sometime this week from the USA).

[@AfopeAtoyebi]

Thank you 🙏🏽 ☺️

[@aprilracine]

@@AfopeAtoyebi I’ve tried it several times and I love it. Also it’s a time saver. My porosity is very high also, so I can do protein treatments every two weeks with only great results.

[@limuru0001]

I’ve watched this video a few times before HOWEVER you answered on question I’ve always had; when they say use a hot towel to help condition since I don’t have a steamer, if I could place a wet hot towel directly as opposed to many who say place the cap on first. I have a steam cap but when I use DC with proteins I prefer more of a steaming effect. I’m relaxed but high porosity and you turned me to Crece Pele and I love it. Oh and I miss your videos, hope your doing fine and will shock us with your own line soon. ❤

[@andariegos9466]

Ok, so…I’m going to do this! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stood at the counter with this protein treatment in hand just to chicken out. I hear it makes your hair stiff and I have this vision of my hair just snapping off because I did something wrong. Paranoid, I know. I’ve paid to have it done in the past but it’s so expensive. Wish me luck 🍀 😂

[@vannasgran6176]

@@JanetJenkins I don’t use the dryer on my hair. Other than that I left the protein treatment on 20 mins. For me when it gets hard I fear my hair will break. Then I put on moisturizer mask for 10. Which actually gives the treatment 30 mins

[@user-fn3sk3io8o]

[@tammyodekunle2522]

Hii Afope, I have a question, are you suggesting that for very fine hair, low density and high porosity hair, you tailor your application process to less heat, more time? great video btw !!!

[@AfopeAtoyebi]

Hi Tammy, Density doesn't have much to do with the tailoring process, but for very fine hair, you want to be more mindful of how you use protein. It's high porosity which means it will benefit from protein use, but it's fine (each hair is smaller/thinner than medium-coarse hair textures), which means it can get overloaded from the same intensity of protein that may be perfect for thicker hair textures. Ergo, HP Fine hair could use less heat (or no heat if desired) and let the product sit for less time to prevent overload. Always best to start with less and work upwards than to overkill and have to fix overload. Hope this makes sense

[@JanetJenkins]

@@AfopeAtoyebi I love the go low and slow approach, I have been avoiding this protein due to worries of overload.

[@viviancalender453]

Aphogee has a new 2-step formulate out -- dryer is not required. have you tried it yet?

[@phnixT]

I’m high porosity. I’ve been terrified of doing the aphogee treatment so I’ve been doing the Knox gelatin treatment. Could you compare such diy type of protein treatments?

[@gbulieadaolisa]

I have a low porosity hair and I just bleached my hair for the holiday. I was thinking of using the Aphogee treatment. Good idea?

[@Danielle-ek6si]

Please use and review the Elizavecca Cer-100 Collagen Protein Treatment. This is hands down the beeeest protein product I used, because it also has ceramides and collagen. I don't know why but this is the only protein treatment where I don't need to condition afterwards.THough it is protein packed, I think it was balanced with hydrating ingredients. It is sooooo hydrating! I'm wondering how it will be for you, and if you can assess the ingredients. This is truly revolutionary, even more tangible results than olaplex(though I'm aware they are totally different products). This is a korean brand by the way. They also have a leave in counterpart for this line. This is a best-seller on amazon. THIS IS FREAKING GOOD it is scary lol

[@blackeneddove]

Oh - for the stinging burning feeling - I get it on *any* skin it touches! (Which is a lot!) 😓

Hi! I got a question for you. Since I haven't washed my hair for over a month, would it be best to start off with a protein treatment after shampoo and conditioning?

[@chocolate82467]

I've been doing light to medium protein treatments (Aphoghee 2 minute Keratin reconstructor) every two weeks. Since my hair is fine, I've been terrified to use the Aphoghee two step but I may try it now. My question is how long after my reconstructor treatment should I wait before doing the Aphoghee two step?

[@solaadeakin8338]

4 weeks should be enough.

[@patb2582]

How was it?

[@nomorejeans]

As always superb content. I have used the Hask Argan Oil Repairing Deep Conditioner with my Deep Conditioner which contains no protein. Can I see it as a protein treatment? I am not sure, if my hair is low or medium porosity and to avoid a protein overload. So I want to introduce my hair to a protein treatment.

[@AfopeAtoyebi]

Hi hi! If you are unsure about your porosity and have not been using protein up until now, then I would definitely suggest starting with a conditioner that contains a low protein content so you can monitor your protein use more carefully.

[@Chela617]

thank you for this great video, if i do not have Crece pelo deep conditioner any other

Is olaplex a better option to this treatment ?

[@m.b.1702]

APHOGEE is a strong protein treatment that is recommended for damaged hair. Only use every 6-8 weeks. If your hair is healthy & not breaking, use a lighter treatment. Olaplex #3 is a bond builder builder. The Olaplex line is great but it depends on what your hair issues are... I hope that was helpful 😊
