Found your channel recently, new sub. you are such a joy to watch! Looking forward to learning "hair care" from you. Thank you and may God continue to bless you😊

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Thanks for subbing! I appreciate it so much! Stay tuned for more new videos coming soon!

[@djkensgirl009]

Your hair looks fabulous! I love that cut, it looks great on you. 🤩💫

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Thank you so much!!

[@starmaxx4]

Another successful video (in my opinion 🥰) .. Thank You! I try real hard to do the Moisture / Protein balance but I really need to incorporate a Protein treatment 💙

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Thank you so much! I appreciate it! Moisture typically trumps protein in general but don’t rule it out all together! Lol 😂

[@BossLadyGrady]

I’m glad you are talking about the many causes of hair breakage. I recently did a big chop to cut out the color and go gray. One hair stylist on YT said if your hair is gray you don’t need a protein treatment. Well, that didn’t sit well with me hence me coming across your video. I live in an area that has hard water that I now understand is not good for my hair so I thank you educating us.

[@LockedandLoadedwithJAM]

Great info . And detail !!

[@antoinettemc4830]

Hi Ms Karen, can you share what you did (or will do) to resolve your hard-water issue? Thanks for sharing your knowledge... this is great!

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Ms.Antoinette! That's the next video (or the 5th one). I am about to finalize that this year and will create a video -- almost there! And I did miss you being the first person on my live. I should have send out the email the day before. 😥

[@godsprecious6884]

Love 💕 the content 😊

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Thank you so much! I appreciate i! I think I really enjoyed making that video!

[@carolyncole3726]

Hi Karen, I was wondering if you can tell me, can I use the aphogee protein treatment system on my gray hair without it picking up the color of the aphogee product? Please advise...Thank you in advance!

[@GeeGee1ish]

Is it safe to do a protein treatment on A 5 year old?

[@carolfrank1020]

If you don't have a hair dryer, what can I do with the Aphogee treatment?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

I suggest put on a plastic cap and wrap your hair with a hot dryer (wet towel and place in microwave for a few seconds) and leave for at least 30 mins; use your natural body heat

[@TraderDT]

This is the video I was looking for..i.e.. recommendation for Protein Treatment. U mentioned u would list 'other' protein treatments in the description herein. None found. Anyway, I will check out Aphogee. Would like to know your take on DIY Protein Treatments (with eggs, mayonnaise, oil, etc..) and also your take on following up a protein treatment with a deep (moisturizing) conditioner afterwards. Thanks :)

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hi Theo! I thought I replied to this but apparently I have not. My apologies. Here are the other protein recommendations: PROTEIN TREATMENT RECOMMENDATIONS: ✅ Aphogee 2 Step Protein Treatment ✅ Curl Junkie Reconstructive Hair Treatment ✅. Hydrathermals Naturals Amino Plus Protein Conditioning Treatment Also, I am not a big fan of the egg, mayonnaise DIY treatment. In order for protein to strengthen the hair, it needs to be hydrolyzed (made smaller). The protein structure of eggs is too big to fit into the hair shaft. So although mayonnaise may soften the hair, the eggs don't provide the protein because their amino acids are simply too big. I think I may do video about this!

[@TraderDT]

@@KarenofCurlHouse Hi Karen: Thanks for the response. Quick follow up. After Step 2, were u done or did u follow that up with a Deep Conditioner? Some folk recommend one should do that after the 2 Step Treatment since the instructions says to leave Step 2 in your hair for only 2 minutes, than rinse it out. Thanks.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

@@TraderDT Hello there? Yes! There is the aphogee 2 step treatment which includes the concentrated protein and the moisturizing treatment used afterwards.

[@van5135]

I just came across your video and I am learning a lot. My son ha been growing out his hair and I want to be able to teach him how to take care of his hair. So does this apply for men as well?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

ABSOLUTELY!! Hair is hair so he can certainly apply the same suggestions. There are several videos only channel that will be helpful to him - from learning porosity level, trims, etc. ENIOY!

[@renettegordley3493]

Hey thank you so much. Using a protein treatment is great to strenghten our hair when we have it pressed regularly. Is there a way a person can tell if we have a madula? Thank you again.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hey there! Now that is a very good question 🤔 for one I don't know the answer! LOL! I know typically coarser textured hair has a medulla but not sure how you can tell. Let me check with a colleague and will follow up

[@wannellalawson4001]

Great video as always. I have hard water problems. Since my hair is dry will the apogee make my hair harder. After completed the two steps what type of shampoo and conditioner. You recommended. You stated do the two step apogee every month. When should you stop? Thanks. ps Did you purchased something for your shower head for hard water.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

HI Wannella! Thank you so much! So you want to shampoo your hair first with whatever shampoo you currently use, then do the 2 step protein treatment. The second step of the protein treatment is a moisturizing conditioner, so you don't necessarily have to add another conditioner. This conditioner is going to soften your hair again. If you are combating hard water issues, then I would recommend a protein treatment about once per month. I am still doing extensive research on a water filter for shower. I think I have identified one so will make a video on that in about a week. I want to be very certain that I recommend the best one. I've been going to the salon to wash my hair until then. Hope this helps!

[@chocolatebutterfly9295]

What do you think about a Malibu protein treatment? The lady at Walmart used it on my hair.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hello Chocolate Butterfly! I looked at this treatment and its seems to be a good treatment, now my other concern its the application of it. Was your hair flat ironed afterwards or during the process? If it is a smoothing protein treatment, then I get concerned about the amount of heat applied, and if this will lead to heat damage (AKA -- the curls won't return the same). By no means am I saying this, but let me know the process so I can provide a more professional response. Talk with you soon.

[@witchsstairs4585]

I have the Aphogee proteins system, What if you don’t have a hair dryer or a hooded dryer? Could i Just let the product sit on my hair for the amount minutes requested?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hello there! It’s not going to have to same effect without heat… particularly for step one the liquid. The protein activates with heat - you can try in the hot shower or heat up a towel and wrap in around your hair for a few minutes to give it some heat. Sone direct heat is better than none.

[@EdwardSmart]

Wow, a deer actually came through your front window! What are the chances of that happening! A little extra protein is always good.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Yes. IT.WAS.CRAZY!!!!! One of those things you will never forget!

[@patriciarobets9301]

Is a hot oil treatment considered a protein treatment?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hey there! No I don’t believe so as most carrier oils do not contain protein

[@jeanettemorales9541]

My hair is 100% gray and desperately needs a protein treatment. I'm concern whether the Aphogee protein treatment could turn my white hair yellow.

[@redgyal2681]

After you put in a protein treatment do u put in a deep conditioner

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

If you are using concentrated protein like Aphogee then yes! Absolutely. Otherwise some protein treatments are not as strong and only requires that one step. I suggest you read the instructions on the bottle 🤗

[@redgyal2681]

@@KarenofCurlHouse ok, what’s a good deep conditioner

[@veronicamwarren5750]

My hair is completely grey, so I'm wondering if the aphogee protein will leave the yellow in grey hair. Is there another one that is clear or white?

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hello there! Good point. I've used it before on gray hair (mine too) and it doesn't affect the color. But you can try the Hydrathermal Naturals Amino Plus Protein Treatment. Another one of my favorites. Here's a link: amzn.to/3Rl03qN

[@veronicamwarren5750]

@KarenofCurlHouse Thank you for your reply. I will try the Hydrathermal naturals protein treatment.

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

@@veronicamwarren5750 Fabulous!

[@oyinnaomi]

I have mixed textured 4c hair (low porosity) but it’s very dry (it feels very brittle) and my iron is also low I recently bought the Aphogee treatment, more liquid moisturizers and sprays as recommended by you But I don’t have a hooded dryer or steamer What else can I use for this process? Thank you, God bless

[@KarenofCurlHouse]

Hello there! Please try to increase your iron as it may affect hair growth and overall hair health. Not sure if you are taking supplements or eating iron rich food. Also, do you have a hand blow dryer? That will work as well. You can put a diffuser on the end of the hand dryer. If you don't have a diffuser, you can use the hand dryer as is and try to make sure the heat is distributed as evenly as possible throughout your entire hair shaft. After about 15 minutes or so, rinse out and apply the next conditioner. Put a plastic cap on (or a plastic bag) and let it sit for about 20 minutes covered. Even if you don't put the dryer to it it's fine.
