ApHogee Treatment Before Weave?

[Stiletto_Diva]

Im getting a weave put in today and was wondering if it was a good idea to do an aphogee 2 step treatment before. does this sound like a good idea or would that cause breakage?

THis is something I ALWAYS DO before I get my weave treatment. In my opinion as a weave wearer, it makes your hair stronger to withstand being in the weave for the next 6-8 weeks. It's a DO!

is there an alternative I can use? my Sally's doesn't sell it and I can't seem to find it anywhere.

Nexxus Emergence is a popular one I hear about. If don't want to do the hard core, try the Intensive Keratin treatment by Aphogee or the 2 min Reconstructor.

I think you should do a treatment before the weave. One of my friends (we go to the same stylist) was getting major surgery and our stylist wanted her to get braids since she would be down for 8 weeks. Because she ran out of Dudley's DRC treatment (what I use), she asked me to run some by her house so she could use it before she got her braids put in the next day.

I believe in doing a good treatment before a weave. And before the one i just put in i did do a Aphogee Treatment.

A hard core Ahogee treatment is the way to go before you put it in and after you take it down.

I love Motions CPR Protein Reconstructor. I use it as a pre-poo and the DC with Pantene R&N DC mask.. but I guess you could also DC with the Motions.. but you have to DC with a good moisturizing con after in order to maintain the protein/moisture balance.

Thanks everybody. I went to Sallys to pick up some Motions CPR and it turns out they sell Aphogee now!!! So I definitley will be doing the treatment tonight.

This is true and it's is also what I did... I just took my weave out last night pre poo'ed and gave myself a treatment before I went to work this morning.... My hair feels great!

So should I do the two step treantment or the 2 minute treatment? Whats the difference between these?

I do the Two step treatment before weaves and the two minute treatment every week. the two step is for hard core breakage protection and repair. The two-minute is for maintainence.

I am sitting with a DC on my head after doing a 2 step, my hair felt really strong afterwards.
I say go for it.

Is this safe to do if you're using Megatek on a daily basis?

jamaicalovely--how are you applying the MT? If you are putting on your scalp, I think you should be fine. If you are applying to your strands, then I would stay away from hard core protein and go for light protein.

I think it would make your strong enough to withstand any procedure you plan to do to your hair.
