Your hair is looking super long. When are going to do a length check with a measuring tape and show us where it falls against your body? See, this is why I love you and your videos. YOU ALWAYS give people their due. You are always passing on information about other folks. You are so generous and supportive. You always communicate from where you got your information. AND you show where people can find the information. I really appreciate you. Thank you for your support.

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

I appreciate you more, Ms. Chicoro! You've taught me soooo much through your book, and continue to do so in the comments. Love ya! Re: length check -- I haven't really thought about doing another official one, but I suppose I should. My hair isn't really all that long, since cutting it. I'd say I'm armpit length, or so. xx

[@Sjmrsjohnson1]

Try using a foaming bottle instead that way you don’t have to whisk it , just pour and pump. I reused my Dial antibacterial foaming hand wash bottle ( I’m frugal like that) the soap cost about 3 bucks and you can put the content of the small bottle of apogee in it . Hope this helps

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

Someone else suggested the same -- can't wait to try it!

[@LinaSheer]

I'm going to try that!

[@holyhighrollers227]

Fun fact: I mixed the protein in with a cheap thick cholesterol conditioner. It was easier to apply and I was able to use a precise amount. Sat under the dryer and it actually hardened. For those that don't want to mix it in conditioner as I have, try putting the liquid in a foaming bottle pump that can be purchased from amazon.

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

Yes -- I was planning to try the same thing! I was basically going to use the Aphogee as a protein booster, the way I use my Green Beauty Real Protein, but decided to go whole hog, instead. Great idea to try the foaming bottle, as well.

[@xxsvaxx]

I’ve been wondering about this - does it still get hard? Would I still use heat in the same way?

[@holyhighrollers227]

s va yes, the hair still hardens. Not potato chip crispy, there is a slight "give", however you free to adjust to more protein or less conditioner. The end results for me were the same. Afterward, I deep conditioned.

[@caseyc715]

Yes, the foam method was such a game changer! If you wanted to save a step or two, it actually foams pretty well by giving it a good shake in the bottle.

[@bbappzz98]

yeah some of these protective styles are just styles, period. they leave your hair worse off than it began and you were fooled into thinking you did both for your hair.

[@IreneZGoodman]

I do this treatment every two months because I color my hair every four weeks. It's not such a difficult process, and I'm glad you found a way to do it without too much aggravation. I apply mine with a spray bottle in my shower.

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

Yup, the spray bottle was my solution before, but I think making it into the foam will be my go-to, from now on!

[@mel...s]

So glad you gave credit to Naturally Nica. I saw her video on aphogee some years back and I'd never seen anyone do that foam method. Brilliant!

[@TheEagleslover]

Always here for the let's get straight to it and how I did it videos. It's been years since I used the Aphogee protein treatment and it appears the process is the same if handled correctly. Thanks Ti for always keeping it real.

[@Marci82]

People can be jerks and overly sensitive. Yes, love Aphogee. Its really underrated.👍

[@xxsvaxx]

This video came at the right time! I need to do this treatment; my hair is in dire need of some skrong protein but I’ve been putting it off because of the mess and stickiness. Definitely gonna try this out.

[@SharonDJohnson515]

I like Aphogee; I wish they (and Nexxus) still made their Botanic Oil. I just bought Mizani Kerfuse, the protein treatment I loved and used to use when my hair was relaxed. Will see if it’s still Holy Grail on my natural hair. Kudos to you re: never having relaxer 🙌🏾!

[@freemindsloveforever]

Chemical formulas of such treatments are designed to be used aa directed for a reason. Yes its messy but so is applying colour,bleach, relaxer and all!. Creative indeed. Whatever makes you happy.

[@KittenM]

Thank you for this. i wanted to try this before, but after watching a few videos I still wasn’t convinced. Now I am and I feel more confident about trying this. Thank you for those cheat days. A girl needs those three days. 😂 I will be doing protecting my ends even after the challenge is over. Oh yes, I would love the challenge/change you talked about doing next month. I look forward to it. Take care.

[@JayJay-ge9sm]

Are you reading my mind because I just finally grew the cojones to buy and use this TODAY (my PYA challenge wash day between protective styles)? I was wishing you had a video on this just yesterday and BOOM! This is why you're my fav.

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

Lucky coincidence -- there must be something in the air, because a couple others have said the same thing about getting ready to use this treatment!

[@beebeebrie6667]

Happy Friday Ti🥳

[@lydiaparham5010]

Great video and advice. Note to those applying and drying with glasses on...they will harden to your head lol. But will come off no fuss during the rinse. I did not try to take them off and I do not think anyone should try.

[@teeswaran]

Yay! Taking care of my hair is my second job! *whisk it real good* :) Thank you! Love, T

[@joycedelifus4979]

I have only used it once , way back. I think the next time I need a protein treatment , I will try it your way. Thanks.

[@EboniElon]

I know I'm late, but you should give Olaplex a try. I have been using it for about six months and it's transformed my hair! I get No. 3 from Sephora and I use it once a week.

[@sxylala74]

Yas! I'm about to whip me up some Aphogee protein!! Thank you so much for this alternative method cause the regular way was so time consuming & messy 😫

[@eekaachu2571]

Thank you sooo much! I literally just did it and I'm so happy my whole body and floor arent sticky and gross. 💗💗👏😘

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

Yesss! So happy it worked for you, too!

[@lovemeechie8034]

Do you think putting in an old foam setting bottle would work?

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

Someone else suggested that -- it's worth a try!

[@manderson7478]

Good Morning ! Your makeup is flawless.

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

Thank you!

[@manderson7478]

You're so welcome 😊

[@blessingsata6466]

Happy Friday sis much love.

[@SunniDae333]

Doing this in a couple days. Thanks ma!

[@dwalker6868]

Thanks for the tip I’ll try this after Challenge before I throw some braids in and start all over again

[@hlynng]

Beautiful!!! I haven’t watched but I had to say that.

[@OshTashBGosh22]

An early morning upload!!!

[@candiblue9280]

I wish that I could use this product but I have low porosity hair but I hear that this product is bomb thou. By the way I love your hair are you doing anything new because I see a lot of growth. 💯❤❤❤

[@Kimosabe-]

10 seconds listening I had to subscribe!

[@SheReaDelSol]

wowwwwwwww the game done changedddddd

[@hostwithlauren9622]

Thank you! Will try it. Love the eye makeup on you.

[@delftblue]

I’m so surprised that you’ve never used the part 2 balanced moisturizer conditioner! Many type 4 naturals rave about how it’s one of the only conditioners that work well on kinky hair. Is there any specific reason why you’ve chosen to opt out? Would you ever try it?

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

Just never felt the need. I have so many other moisturizing conditioners already that work for me, so I don't see the point in buying it.

[@kristle_virgo-empathic4683]

You are funny and real. Love your channel.

[@orianacampbell3174]

Yoooo!! I just bought the product for the first time yesterday! Are you psychic?

[@JayJay-ge9sm]

Same exact thing!! I literally just bought it to use today and wished she had a video on it!!!

[@MissThickThighs]

I have always loved Aphogee's protein treatment! I've been keeping my hair in crochet for the past year and a half and would use this treatment after each take down. I can't wait to try this bc this treatment is sooo messy. Thanks for sharing!!!!

[@IjeomaThePlantMama]

I saw the title and immediately knew this was Chicoro inspired😂 I binged on all her videos after she commented below one of yours. She's honestly the G.O.A.T🙌🏿🙌🏿 Did your soft bonnet dryer attachment get messy at all from the treatment? I just bought one and I'm thinking of using that instead of waving a hand dryer around my head.

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

I was worried about it getting messy, but it didn't really, and any residue inside was really easy to wipe off with a damp cloth. Easy peasy.

[@Marci82]

I need to try this method of whipping it.

[@kathleen_ryan]

I am going to have to try this this way! I feel like I always make a sticky mess when I use it.

[@rubypanterra.]

Love the bedspread 😍😍

[@jenniferhemingway530]

Thank you for this info. Stay Blessed!

[@powerpuff4ever]

Are you trying to tell me you’re over age 27?

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

Sure am.

[@JustSalimaa]

This is an oldie but goodie! Love apogee. I have a question about the GB real protein, do you ever mix it with conditioners that already have a little protein or only with conditioners that have 0 protein ingredients?

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

I have mixed it with condish that already has some protein in it, but I generally reserve it for ones that *don't* have protein, since I don't see the need to double down and go through my GB faster.

[@imac4082]

Hello Ti and anyone else scrolling. Now that this is fresh in your mind, do you think a henna gloss or treatment does the same amount of strengthening? Have you ever tried the diy protein treatment of unflavored gelatin? If so, can you speak to that comparison please. Happy weekend!

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

The only "diy" protein I've tried is Greek yogurt (and yes, there is a video), but I haven't found definitive evidence on whether the protein in that is hydrolyzed/small enough to even fortify the hair, so I hesitate to call it a protein treatment, since it may not be. Henna does help to strengthen my hair, however I don't find that it does enough to completely skip real hydrolyzed proteins altogether.

[@imac4082]

@@nappyheadedjojoba Thanks for the reply. I have seen your Greek yogurt video AND I have tried it. I usually mix the yogurt, henna, moringa, some oils, and a conditioner I don't like but have in my stash to use up when I feel like my hair needs a boost. It does the trick but . . . . I like trying new things. 😅

[@tiadeni]

Wow I'm glad that I clicked on your profile bc I received 0 notifications for this. It's not even under my subscription list

[@marleyhill34]

Shit happens. Lol! My hair is always protected in winter. My strands are so fine and easily damaged I use a lot of Aphogee products.

[@lidocainelizz]

This fucking eye look is E V E R Y T H I NG 😍 yes!

[@KitInToronto]

Unrelated: I love your whole bed situation. Saucy! lmao @ "PushaT braids"

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

😅

[@amaraada8087]

This is a longg one on my experience with aphogee. I vowed to never use aphogee again and just stick to green beauty after my one and only bad experience about 8 months back, now you’ve got me second guessing lol. Maybe I had a bad batch (I bought the individual packet instead of the bottle bc the bottles aren’t sealed and I’m paranoid). Perhaps I spent too much time applying step 1 but after finishing a couple sections I noticed there was a lot of breakage in my hands, first I thought it was normal but it became excessive. I started to touch random parts of my hair and I noticed it was breaking off from any section that I touched when my natural breakage only comes from the ends. I guess the built up product on my hands quickly got sticky and dry and was actually sticking to my hair strands then breaking them as I worked the product through. I remedied that by rinsing my hands after applying to each section and trying to work quicker but still was getting more breakage than normal 🤔By this experience aphogee could be an effective body hair removal system if I’m ever in a crunch. Did you experience the stickiness to the point of breakage when applying? That terribly sticky feeling all over my shoulders and ears just adds to the drama. Seriously my wash day is already a lot, I don’t need that ish. I had about 12 inches of hair at the time and the blow drying process shrunk it down to about 1.5-2 inches which for me equals a detangling nightmare. If I do use again I will twist after applying. I always wash in twist but the aphogee instructions and many youtubers didn’t advise so I thought I was playing it safe (tuh) Also for anyone that doesn’t rinse hair in the shower (eg bathtub or sink)...only rinse this out in the shower. If you have to contort in any weird way to get your hair into the water stream, do it in the shower. Two small sections of my hair broke down to half an inch evenly which I can only attribute to me bumping my dry hair into the faucet without realizing Bc of all the error I experienced I thought I’d stick to the much less complicated green beauty application. But I can’t deny even after the whole struggle my hair felt much stronger and breakage was drastically minimized. After recent mechanical damage I too have been considering a stronger treatment just to put me back in a good place. If I use the foam I may be able to apply quicker and avoid product buildup on my hands and even avoid the dreaded sticky shoulders. Applying and rinsing in the shower could eradicate the extra damage I caused by bumping the faucet 🙏🏾 pray for me y’all I think I’ll give it one more shot. Ti, you were just in time!

[@hairbyyjasmine5268]

Sounds like you manipulated it too much I just Spray it on and leave it alone . Dries so quick any manipulation. Can cause it to snap

[@doriannhamer284]

APHOGEE is life and so old school, I'm trying to use natural alternatives (it's a struggle) however I never hate on peeps that use it because bottom line it works. I used it when I was a pressNcurl girl never a perm. And thank you for the truth about the passion twist take down. The style is so tempting and pretty but that was my deprivation cause of the weblike stretching of the hair (why would peeps be upset) maybe twist pretwisting our hair and then twist the hair around it? um maybe not lol it might work :)

[@privacywanted434]

Have you tried gelatin? Catherine Marion sells some and my hair loves that shit. It's very natural but had a MAJOR effect on my hair.

[@ItsMrstoyouboo]

You look stunning.

[@malindarayallen]

Are you interested in trying Melanin Haircare? Or the at home version of Olaplex?

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

Yes, I am planning to try Melanin at some point, but I have sooo many products to use up, first. I think I've heard the word "Olaplex" before, but I don't know what it is!

[@bbappzz98]

@@nappyheadedjojoba you can watch labmuffin's video on olaplex (she has a phd in chemistry) and breaks it down really good. it is not a protein treatment but it helps repair broken bonds in hair strands by adding in another chemical that links those broken bonds back together again. it's some cool science :)

[@karandonnakaran]

i cant get over the smell...it works great but i havent bought any in years...i too need a deep treatment seriously like 3 months ago 😣😣 what else is good? im high porosity very dry 3abc THANKS

[@blackceasar2141]

Can a protein treatment and silk press be performed on hair same day?

[@melissastephenson2097]

I want to start using the aphogee treatment again however, I also want to try rice water. Do you think I would be able to use both? Like, every 6 to 8 weeks aphogee and then every other week rice water?

[@jessicapaulin1260]

Would it be a good idea to do right after I take out my Senegalese twists?

[@kapparhotau181]

Hmmm thks will do try whisking

[@April4Detroit]

Did you do the coconut vinegar rinse before the protein treatment or did you skip it?

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

I did it before the protein.

[@taybay3x]

Have you done the rice water stuff? What's your take on it?

[@nappyheadedjojoba]

I haven't! I don't see myself trying it. Just seems like a lot of hassle.

[@deebos7193]
