Can Aphogee Keratin and Green Tea Mist be used daily?

[thinkpinkprincess]

I really like this stuff and have been applying it everyday for the last 3 or 4 days...

I plan on using the Aphogee 2 step every 6 weeks and the 2 min. for 5 min. 1x a week. Is this too much protein? I also plan to incorporate OCT/ MT to the line up soon!!

Be careful with Aphogee product overuse. These products are no joke concerning protein reconstruction. Because it is a protein treatment, I would just be sure to check your hair's protein moisture balance instead of just sticking to a schedule of use.

are you talking about the brownish treatment in the spray pump bottle? I have this and I looked at it today to spray on my hair but I decided against it. Ut says to spray after wash so that's what I do

What you've described seems a little excessive unless your hair is SEVERELY damaged. Go easy on the protein. Too much can cause your hair to harden and break off.

I use it daily when my hair is braided.

I definitely think you're okay using the 2 minute treatment once a week. I don't know if I'd advise using the Keratin & Green Tea daily though.

 

[Kelly210]

I spray it on my hair every other day. I am in braid extensions. I'll see if it was beneficial to my hair or not when i take my braids out.

 

[varaneka]

what if the hair is bleached/colored?

 

[jerseygurl]

I use it very sparingly, maybe once a week

 

[JenBenCal]

Yikes! I'm glad I saw this thread. Like you OP, I recently bought this stuff and fell in love with it! I haven't been using it DAILY, but I've been using it probably 3X week. I'm going to ease up on it a bit now. Thanks for asking the question!

 

[Okay]

bumping....

This is an extremely effective product so daily use is unnecessary. I use it on wet hair before I get under the dryer. I noticed that it helps my hair stay smooth after any kind of physical exertion. It is really good at re-smoothing without residue. So I guess I use it 2-3 a week.

I use aphogee 2 minute often, let's just say weekly or every 2 weeks, so would there really be any need to introduce the aphogee green tea to the regi?

 

[BeautifulFlower]

I'd strongly advise against it. You will begin to notice the protein overload fairly quickly. You need to use more moisture daily when you are doing weekly protein. If you want to have some sort of keratin daily, I recommend Chi Keratin Mist. Aphogee is pretty hardcore and Chi is a lot milder. It will add strength but wont make your hair hard.

 

[TLC1020]

I wouldn't use it everyday... Every other day maybe..

 

[Black NaijaAussie Barbie]

Bumping this thread up because i have a question on the CHI keratin mist. I want to start flat ironing after my weekly wash and from next week i'll start using the Joico K-PAK shampoo and the intense hydrator as my deep conditioner. Can i use the CHI keratin mist weekly (just before i apply my John Frieda heat protectant)? Thanks in advance

 

[NitaChantell]

It all depends on your hairs needs. My hair is bleached, so I use it everyday to every other day, and I use the 2min reconstructer every other week [alternate with other conditioners]. I also use heavy moisturizers daily to be sure my hair is balanced. It works fine for me, but I know my hair loves protein.

 

[NikkiGirl]

I use this everyday on my edges only along with a moisturizer and haven't had any problems. I basically just use it to wet my sides to slick my pony back. It is easy and convenient. I wouldn't use this on the length of my hair. Not everyday.

I also use Aphogee 2 minute weekly and I use DRC as needed. I did my last heavy protein in January, the Aphogee 2 minute keeps me in check. I always use APhogee Leave in and Aphogee Green Tea after EVERY wash before getting under my hooded dryer. I wash once a week when Out of braids.

When in braids I up my moisture, but make sure I do a mild protein before getting them.

It is all about listening to your hair. I must do Protein weekly sure I could skip a few but My Hair thrives off of protein and I feed it on demand.
