Be sure to get the conditioner also. I think the conditioner is required to resore the hair's balance. You will find that its not very moisturizing.
So after I rinse the protein treatment out, I put the Aphogee conditioner in for about 5 min and then add anther thicker conditioner in and let the whole thing sit for 15 more minutes beore rinsing. Also when protein (1st part) is in hair let completely dry, don't touch hair--you may cause more damage. Make sure it is all stiff befroe rincing. I have to admit I was a little freaked when I first did it but you get more comfortable after the first treatment. HTH
