quick aphoghee question

[Rei]

Is the second stop absolutely needed? The "moisturizing" conditioner that you have to buy with the aphoghee treatment. is it reducing ph levels or something, or is it just a waste of cash? I figure if I follow up the aphoghee directly with something ACTUALLY moisturizing, I would still be reaping the benefits right?

Always follow up protein with moisture...other wise you'll have hard hair and breakage

I didn't buy Aphogee's moisturizing conditioner and my hair was fine. Just make sure you use a very good moisturizing conditioner afterwards. I had to add honey and EVOO to the conditioner that I normally dc with and sleep in it to get my hair properly moisturized.

I use the Aphogee 2 minute and then follow up with my kercare humecto. I bought the moisture balance by aphogee and I HATED it. Its just sitting in my product graveyard

I don't think the actual Aphogee Moisturing Conditioner is very moisturizing, so I don't think you are losing out on any benefits.

Just use a moisturizing conditioner that you know works really well for your hair and all will be fine.

I use it and it helps a little but I still follow up with a DC.

I bought it and used it as stated, but I still did a dc with my keracare humecto.

if you are using the 2 minute aphogee, no the second step is not needed. I used step one multiple times without using step two. Just make sure you use a rich leave in and don't over do it.

Whatever that "conditioner" is they recommend came packaged with mine. So I just use that (not really sure if it does anything) then follow up with a moisturizing dc.

I use both steps, but then I follow up the second step with my own moisturizing conditioner.

My hair was like when I used that mess!

You don't have to buy the Aphogee moisturizing conditioner but you must follow up with a deep conditioner. Or your hair will be hair as a rock.

Aphogee before relaxer?

I use the Aphogee hard protein a week before my relaxer and I think it helps my hair to be not as lifeless post-relaxer. I just used last night and I'm getting relaxed this coming Thursday.
