Ok, so on sunday I took out my weave that I had had in for one month I had not been taking care of it, since this was before I found LHCF. After taking it down, I decided to do a protein treatment to help with the excessive shedding/breakage that I have always had (but never knew how to take care of). I had just gone to the beauty store and stocked up on all the products I thought I needed including the AphoGee 2 step treatment (hard) for professional use only...i think that was my mistake.
So I followed the directions, washed it out, put in the balancing moisturizer that they told me I was suppose to use and the rest of the products in that line. Afterwards I baggied for the night, but when I woke up, my hair was exteremly dry, and parts of it were knotted (I guess I didn't rinse throughly enough) . I am still seeing some shedding 3 days later even though I have been baggying every night and moisturizing 2x daily. So today I decided to pre-poo followed by a co-wash which in order to remove all the oil that had built up due to my trying to remedy the dryness.
I am scared to use it again, but my hair desperately needs strength AND moisture, what other protein treatments do you suggest? And how long after a treatment do you usually start seeing reduced breakage?
