If you regularly trim your hair every 6-8 weeks, use a satin or net scarf before going to bed, moisturize 2-3 times a week, and use very little/ if any heat. Then yes you should try something different.

You can substitute the balance moisturizer with a deep conditioner instead, the balancing moisturizer leaves ones hair far too hard, and I in my opinion it doesn’t condition the hair well enough after doing the treatment. Brands like Aubrey organics*, Pantene, tresemme supply wonderful conditioners, so try this method and hopefully it will rectify your problem. * Aubrey organics range of products are 100% natural so this brand could benefit your hair even more!

How often are you using it? As you are only supposed to use it every 6 weeks, if you have been using it every 6 weeks then this is the routine I recommend: . Shampoo hair . Apply treatment wait for it to dry DO NOT TOUCH IT WHILST ITS DRYING . Rinse thoroughly with water until the water is running clear YOU MUST MAKE SURE ITS COMPLETELY RINSED OUT AS PROTEIN IS SUPPOSED TO BE RINSED OUT OF THE HAIR . Note: follow these instructions to a tee if you have African American hair: deep condition hair its instructs to use their product line, however, the ingredients contained isn’t moisturizing enough. So deep condition hair for 20 to 30 mins under a heat cap rinse with water then THOROUGHLY MOISTURIZE HAIR!!!!!!!!!! . Every week do a deep condition for 20 mins under heat cap make sure hair is always moisturise and wash hair once a week to allow the scalp to “breathe”. Follow these instructions and your hair condition should improve.

You should not have much breakage after the first use. That is the point of the treatment. You must use a very moisturizing deep conditioner right after you wash out the treatment. This is in order to combat the stiffness the protein will leave behind. You don't have to use the balancing. Find the strongest deep conditioning mask you can find like tresemme for damaged hair or some other kind of deep conditioning mask. Your hair will continue to break if you don't deep condition it after the treatment.

Yes stay clear from their balancing moisturizer brands such as Pantene tresemme or Aubrey organics supply wonderful deep conditioners for your hair.

This treatment is suitable for any hair type natural/coloured/.relaxed African American hair, just remember this treatment should only be used if your hair is in bad condition I.e. a lot of breakage shedding brittleness dry. Once your hair has rectified stop using this treatment as too much protein actually damages African American hair! Remember “You cant have too much of a good thing”.

Any race can use this product especially if you dye or chemically treat your hair. Africian American usually chemically straighten the hair which can cause a lot of damage due to the frequency of chemicals and excessive heat. For this reason, a lot of people mention their race so it is apparent to others of that race that they understand the hair texture and different situations that only others with that texture of hair may understand.

NO STOP! Only use this treatment if your hair is in really bad condition once your hair has rectified stop using it otherwise ironically this treatment will start to damage your hair. Also you don’t have to sue their branded shampoo or conditioner, after using this treatment you should follow it up with a deep conditioner not their balancing moisturizer as it doesn’t benefit the hair as well. Hair Routine: - Hair is in bad condition use aphogee treatment: shampoo hair, aphogee treatment, deep condition hair, moisturize. - If your hair is better condition then stop using the treatment if it isn’t keep using it only every 6 weeks. Also if your hair is African American you should wash your hair at least x1 a week deep condition your hair x2 a week ; use natural oils e.g. olive coconut or shea butter on your hair shafts and your hair should become more healthier and longer.
