I'm at week 10 post touchup and will be retouching in 2 weeks and would like some input re: which treatment to use the week before and the week after touching up. I am asking because there was some discussion re: the different kinds of proteins and how nexxus emergencee is actually a polymer rather than a "true" protein like keraphix and that it may be good to alternate between both for optimal results.
Well, I'm wondering whether it's better to use the emergencee BEFORE touch up so that the "polymers" seal and protect the hair strands from the chemicals. Nexxus recommends emergencee prior to all chemicals) and then use the omnipak 1 week AFTER touchup to restore proteins and moisture. Omnipak is a mixture of keraphix, epitome, humectress and botanoil and Nexxus recommends clarifying before applying this deep conditioning treatment. I'm leaning towards option A below for maximum results with couple of questions:
--should I clarify before or after touchup?
--what is the effect of colourshines in the protein mix? I'm thinking it's a "polymer" of some sort.
--is this too much protein in a 3 week period?.
Option A:
1. emergencee 1 week before touchup
2. touchup with affirm mild followed by clear colourshines
3. omnipack 1 week after touchup
Option B:
1. omnipak 1 week before touch up
2. touch up with affirm followed by clear colourshines
3. emergencee 1 week after touchup
I await your sage comments/suggestions with great antcipation... TIA!
