aphogee trmt.

i just bought the treatment, can I safely use it alone, or do I need to go back and buy the shampoo and moisturizer?

If its the protein treatment that makes your hair hard you have to follow with some kind of moisture treatment. Their moisture balance condtioner is one of the best, I would use them together.

I personally did not care for Ahpogee balancing moisturizer? I think that is the name. I ended up dumping it(bought the trial packet) and using my own moisturizer. Like enchantment said follow up with a very good moisturizer suited for your hair.

I agree. I found their moisturizer woefully inadequate to re-moisturize my 4b hair after the protein treatment -- my hair LAUGHED at that watery substance! I use a thick creamy conditioner, like nexxus humectress or cholesterol, cover with plastic cap with or without heat for at least 15 minutes, preferable half hour. Awesome results! You MUST do a deep moisturizing conditioner after the protein. I've never used their shampoo and conditioner, always my own, especially the deep conditioner following the treatment.

I didn't like the ApHogee moisturizer either, however, I would use another moisturizing conditioner following the treatment. I didn't have a problem using something from another line.

I have to use a moisturizing conditioner. That stuff makes your hair really hard. I usually use Motions Oil plus conditioner in the tub mixed with Nacidit Avocado deep conditioner for 20 minutes and then I wash out, it really helps.

Wow...I liked the balancing moisturizer, especially when I use it with a heating cap. It left my curls so loose that I went out and bought the bottle instead of just the little packet. Products dont work the same for everyone though, stuff that works for me will mat and tangle my oldest sisters hair but my other sister tries and loves everything I recommend. As long as you use something moisturizing to follow it, it will be ok, you just need something to counteract all that protein.
