Protein BEFORE relaxer?

[Belle Du Jour]

Is it okay to use keratin protein (say Aphogee reconstructor) a few times before getting a relaxer to pump up the strands? Or is it better to use it after the relaxer? TIA.

I always use protein (Keraphix protein reconstructor) the wash time before relaxing rather than after.

Thanks Isis.

I use Aphogee protein before I relax my hair. At least a week before.

I use keraphix also on wash day the last week and a half before relax day, along w/the Botanoil poo to strength up the hair expecially NG. Then I follow 1wk after also.

yes, protein a week or so before a relaxer is definitely a god thing. It strenghtens your hair and gets it ready for the breakdown effect that relaxers have

I second that! Then I use Keraphix/CPR about 2 weeks after.
