Aphogee Two Step Protein Treatment Review

September 30, 2022 by Emily Evert 2 Comments

When I was new to the curly girl method I read about protein overload and was scared of protein as a result. I successfully avoided using much protein for quite a while without a problem. I think after about a year and a half, I started experiencing moisture overload.

I’d wash and style my hair the same way, using the same products as before, but I’d barely get a cast when I used to get a hard cast. Plus, my waves would fall flat after just a few hours or less than a day, when they used to last multiple days. I couldn’t avoid protein any longer.

Once I saw how much my hair benefited from some protein, I started incorporating it into my routine more often. I remained afraid of really ‘strong’ protein treatments though. Yet, I continued to find myself in moisture overload fairly frequently when using more mild protein treatments. If you haven’t already, I’d recommend learning your hair type and how your hair type impacts what products you should use.

A year or so ago, I finally decided to try a strong protein treatment…the Aphogee two-step protein treatment. I bought the sample packet at first. It went really well, so I’ve since bought the full sized bottle.

If you missed that post, definitely go check it out to double-check that you’ve got your hair type correct.

Once You Know Your Hair Type, How Do You Know What Products To Use?

Now you know what your hair properties are – hooray! That’s great…how do you know what products to use now though, right? That’s what this blog post is all about!

What products your hair likes primarily will come down to four factors.

  1. How much protein to use
  2. How much moisture you need (or can tolerate)
  3. How often you’ll need to clarify your hair
  4. How much hold you’ll need.

what products to use for your wavy hair type based on your hair density, hair porosity and thickness.
