ApHogee Two Step Keratin Treatment
You can't talk about protein treatments without mentioning ApHogee. Their Two Step Keratin Treatment uses hydrolyzed proteins to help fill in the gaps left by bleach damage, producing incredible results for frazzled hair. Because there's a chemical process that occurs when applying this keratin treatment, it's shouldn't be used more than every 4-6 weeks. Going beyond that can actually cause further damage. Apply this product to clean, damp hair, combing through for even distribution. Use a hood dryer or careful blow-drying to dry the product onto your hair, taking care not to move or manipulate your hair as it dries. When this treatment dries on your hair it should be rock hard. You can now rinse the product out and deep condition your hair. This keratin treatment can even be used directly after bleaching, but wait at least 24 hours after using a relaxer. The end result is hair with renewed strength and elasticity that makes a big difference as you grow out bleach friend hair. While we love this product for replenishing damaged hair, the application can be messy and difficult. If you have no experience applying hair treatments (or your at-home skills are what caused your bleach damage in the first place) we recommend heading to the salon for a comparable keratin treatment. What we love: Reduces breakage. Restores shine. Dislikes: Messy application. Smell. Not for beginners.
