If you picked before or after a relaxer can you please tell me how long I should wait? Thanks!

Try one week after your touch-up. That's what I have read and it worked for me.

I try to do aphogee halfway thru a relaxer cycle. If I go 12 weeks, I do one at 6 weeks. I like to do emergencee at 2-4 weeks, and lighter proteins before and after, maybe 2x a month.

Ok, thanks ladies! When you did the treatment after your touch up did the aphogee change the texture of your hair (i.e. harder, rougher, ect..) or did it pretty remain unchanged?

it will be harder/rougher after the treatment, but YOU MUST follow with a moisturizing deep conditioner afterwards to balance it out. The purpose of the Aphogee is to restore strength to weakend strands and prevent/stop breakage. Nothing more, nothing less.

Good question. I've been wondering if I was doing the treatment at the right time.

I did it a week after my touchup and the texture did not change. My hair is still just as straight but stronger

I saw before and after (though I voted before). Relaxers break down your strands so I use my ApHogee the wash before the relaxer and the wash after...directly after the relaxer my stylist uses Niarobi protien and I like the results so I never asked him to change.

My stylist uses Aphogee periodically right after my relaxer/shampoo. She has been doing this for years and I have never seen negative results. My hair always turns out nice and strong afterwards.

I know before/after remarks were asked for, but I just thought I'd add my 2 cents.

I do one 2-3 weeks before and 1-2 weeks after. The one before the relaxer is to help me stretch w/o breakage, and the one after is to repair the hair after the chemical treatment.

What kind of conditioner do you use after a aphogee treatment?

I used to do mine the same day of my touch up, but now I dont need such a heavy protein.

I do before and after. I usually do aphogee the week before my relaxer. I also clarify at this time. I do another 2 wks after my relaxer. My concept is that I'm preparing/strengthening for the chemical service and the after treatment strengthens/repairs the damage done from the chemical.

Excellent question, I've been wondering the same. My hair is always hard, rough, difficult to move even after much moister w/ plastic cap under the dryer for an hour ...erplexed
