Do u do a protien treatment right after or on your next wash day? I recieved a relaxer today and i want to use emergencee my next wash day(monday)then focus on moisture, moisture, moisture, after that. but i'm not sure if i should do a protien treament:ohwell: What do u think? What do you ladies do?
Thanks!
 
My protein treatment normally falls a wk or two b4 my relaxer day, so I don't need to do a protein treatment until my next follow up treatment which is every 6 wks. I use Vitale life and Body relaxer system and the DC treatment has protein already in it. I know some ladies have experienced reversion when doing a protein treatment too soon after a relaxer TU, most try to wait atleat 2wks b4 apply a protein treatment.
In the past I've done a protein treatment a few days to a wk after TU day and didn't have a problem w/reversion, but I guess it's better to be safe then sorry.
Have you done this in the past w/good results? if so, If it has been working fine for you don't try to fix what ain't broke.
 
Thanks for the replies ladies! I think i'm going to try emergencee or aphogee treatment on monday then focus on moisture after that:D If anyone else have any other suggestions please post:)
 
ok this is how it should go everytime after a relaxer:

1- conditioning lye relaxer (never no-lye box sets)
2- neutralizing shampoo (at least 3 times)
3- intense protein treatment like Aphogee or Drc 28 (i use DRC)
4- moisturizing deep conditioner (i use Nexxus Humectress)
 
I do mine this way:

-Aphogee (the liquid one) 3 days before my relaxer
- Relax w/ my profectiv (boxed) no lye relaxer
- neutralize three times with the neutralizer mousse for a total of
15 min
- Use Profectiv 60 second reconstructor after relaxer; style as usual.
- My next wash after my relaxer (usually 3-5 days) I do a deep conditioner like the Profectiv Growth Masque or ORS Replenishing Pak. Both are mild protein treatments with tons of moisturizers.
 
This is what I do, I am not saying it is right. It may seem like a lot of protein but my hair reacts well with it. Emergencee is considered a medium protein for my hair :lol: :

Emergencee a week before a relaxer
Reconstructor like Keraphix &Aveda Damage Remedy during relaxer process
Aphogee a week after relaxer

And moisture, moisture moisture, afterwards!

When you say during relaxer process, exactly what step do you insert this? I'm getting ready to do a touch up in three weeks and I want to try this.
 
how does your hair handle protein so soon after a relaxer. I use a lye relaxer and find that if I under relax then do a protein treatment, I'm basically at the point I am 6-7 weeks post. :(

Perhaps you should maybe wait a week or so after your relaxer.:)
