Protein Treatment Question

[vtoodler]

Why do most LHCF members use proteins around the time that they relax?

I use it to strengthen my hair before a chemical relaxer. The relaxer breaks down your protein bonds. I also use a light protein after my relaxer

As JJamiah said...it's recommended to do a heavy protein a week before you relax and a week after you relax and a mild one during the washing out of the relaxer. I use a reconstructor with Silk Amino Acids after I rinse out the relaxer but before I apply neutralizing shampoo.
