Protein 3 days before touch up?

[lindseyerinc]

I was wondering if I could use nexxus emergencee 3 days before getting my touch up on Monday or if I should wait until after.

lindseyerinc,
Are you relaxing your hair yourself or going to a salon? I'm asking b/c back in my relaxed days, I learned from the forum to actually apply protein after the relaxer had been rinsed out but before the product was neutralized b/c the cuticle is raised more so than normally allowing protein to go in to a "deeper" level resulting in stronger hair. But, to answer your question, you should not have any problems with protein a few days before your relaxer

i used to do a protein and deep conditioner all the time before my relaxer....3-4 days was my minimum and then i would also apply reconstructor again right after i rinsed the relaxer out.
