Braid Prep Protein Treatment: Process Steps: Pre-detangle hair (not necessary, but helpful). Cleanse hair with @Aphogee shampoo for damaged hair. Ensure hair remains detangled. Rinse thoroughly. Use a microfiber towel to blot hair dry. Saturate each section with protein treatment (indicated as step 1). Do NOT comb through hair once applied. Dry hair/treatment under a hooded dryer or using a blow dryer. If using a blow dryer, avoid over manipulating hair. The product will begin to stiffen. Once fully dry, thoroughly rinse treatment with lukewarm water. Apply @Aphogee balancing moisturizer (indicated as step 2). Detangle using a wide tooth comb or a detangling brush. Rinse and style. Bonus: Follow up with @Aphogee ProVitamin leave in conditioner and keratin green tea restructurizer sprays for added protection. A few pro tips: Work in sections. Leave hair uncovered when protein treatment is applied. If preparing to blow dry hair, cover sectioned, loosely braided hair with microfiber towel to absorb water. LTKU LTKStyleTip LTKBeauty
