I was right about that conditioner 😬 Trying the @aphogee 2-step protein treatment for the first time on my fine curls was quite an experience! What do you think of the results? Here are my thoughts:
Pros I found:
👍🏽 Definitely very proteiny
👍🏽 Improved shine + curl definition (at first)
👍🏽 A little goes a long way (I didn’t need to use the whole sachet)
👍🏽 Might be quicker than a hair mask depending on how fast your hairdryer is!
Cons:
👎🏽 The conditioner was definitely too heavy for me, I had a lot of frizz and limpness the next day which I never usually get with the stylers I used.
👎🏽 My curls were VERY soft after the conditioner (which is good for some people but bad for me because it leads to the aforementioned frizz and limpness)
👎🏽 Very sticky and runny treatment! Lots of clean up after (maybe my own fault though haha)
👎🏽 Having to dry your hair partway through feels like more of a faff then just sitting with a cap on for 30 minutes? Idk I think that’s just a mindset thing 😆
I would try this treatment again, but I would definitely want to use a lighter conditioner - let me know if you’ve done this!

One treatment that has made a huge difference in my hair strength is the Aphogee 2-Step Protein Treatment.
The Aphogee 2-Step Treatment is designed to rebuild and reinforce weak areas along the hair shaft, helping the hair become stronger and more resistant to breakage.
How it works:
Step 1: Protein Treatment
After shampooing, the protein treatment is applied to the hair and allowed to harden while drying. A blow dryer or hooded dryer can be used to dry the hair after application. As it hardens, it bonds to weakened areas of the hair strand, reinforcing the hair structure and improving strength.
I used the aphogee shampoo for damaged hair though you can start with a moisturizing shampoo.
Your hair doesn’t have to be damaged to use the shampoo.
Step 2: Balancing Moisturizer
After rinsing out the hardened protein, the balancing moisturizer is applied. This step restores softness, elasticity, and moisture so the hair doesn’t feel stiff or brittle.
This combination is what makes the treatment so effective:
Protein strengthens the hair, and moisture restores flexibility.
When your hair is strong AND balanced with moisture, it can withstand detangling, styling, and everyday manipulation without constantly breaking off.
That’s one of the reasons my hair retains length.
Save this if you’re dealing with hair breakage. ✨

I’m in my “stop messing with my hair and actually fix it” era.
Between bleaching, toning, and just doing too much, my hair was feeling dry, fragile, and damaged, especially on the ends.
So this is what I’ve been using to get some strength back without cutting it all off.
Aphogee protein treatment + their 2 minute keratin reconstructor.
It just helps your hair feel stronger again.
If you’re growing out damage or your hair feels rough and over-processed, this combo really helps.

Dealing with breakage or heat damaged hair?
Protein treatments are not about doing the most— it is about doing what your hair actually needs.
It is mandatory for relaxed clients to alternate with protein based treatments and moisture.
Note: Aphogee treatment is not for frequent usage.
- We have a different method for relaxed hair, however we encourage people to relax their hair every 4-6 months— we do not relax bone straight.

I’m so obsessed with these results 🥺 I was planning to dye my hair next month, but now I’m seriously rethinking it because… look at this shine + bounce?✨

The @aphogee two-step protein treatment has always been THAT girl. If you're someone struggling with breakage, damage from processing your hair & subtle heat damage- this may be your solution. This protein treatment did an amazing job at keeping my hair strong when I had multiple hair textures throughout my hair. Now this is not something that will magically bring back curls from severe damage, but it will help strengthen your hair and helps rebuild your hair structure. As someone with low porosity hair I've heard my entire life that protein isn't good for us, but that is the furthest from my truth. Everyone's hair is different but adding this to my routine once every 6-8 weeks really helped keep my strands strong. I plan to start adding this back into my routine probably once every quarter for maintenance ✨ #curlscurlscurls #rizosnaturales #3c4ahair #proteintreatment #naturalhair #3chair #cachos #aphogee
