Aphogee on Long Hair -- Pin Hair Up Before Sitting Under Dryer? UPDATED Q
Hi ladies, I wonder if you can help me figure this out. I recently purchased the Aphogee Treatment for Damaged Hair, along with the shampoo and balancing moisturizer, but have not used them yet. I did a search on it here, and came up with a few pages of info, which I read thoroughly. Most ladies have said their hair dries under the dryer with the treatment on it in 15 - 30 minutes. But I did not see any of the ladies with long hair mention whether they pin their hair up before getting under the dryer, though I think this would have to be done in order to get the heat to reach all of the hair. My hair dryer only covers the very top of my head, so the rest of my hair from about my shoulders - waist would just be hanging down far out of the heat's reach if I did not pin it up.
From what I've read here at LHCF as well as on the directions on the package, the treatment makes the hair very hard and the hair should not be moved or disturbed in any way before rinsing the treatment out, or it could snap off. So, if I pin it up loosely, would I be able to remove the pins before rinsing? If so, what type of pins should I use?
Would the 'inside' of my hair dry in 30 minutes if it is pinned up with the treatment on it? Or, would it just stay wet for hours on end, the way it would if I tried to dry my hair that way under a dryer under regular circumstances?
If all of the hair 'inside' did dry, and I rinsed the 'outside/underside' portion first while it is still pinned up, would I then be able to 'unfold' my hair in a downward motion so that the water could then reach the 'inner/top' portions, without my hair snapping and breaking off?
I know that these are a lot of questions and I hope I am explaining my concerns clearly. I am very confused about this and but would like to use the treatment without damaging my hair. I'd appreciate any info you can offer from your own experiences.
