ApHogee
Two-Step Protein Treatment has been used by salons for years as a service which
provides more effective and longer lasting results than any single step
treatment or intensive conditioner. This unique treatment is formulated with
activated proteins and magnesium which fuse into the hair with the application
of heat. Hair breakages are drastically reduced for 4-6 weeks following use.
During
the process, ApHogee treatment hardens into the hair, dramatic evidence that
something special is occurring. For best results a hooded dryer is required.
After rinsing and moisturizing with ApHogee Balancing Moisturizer, clients are
astounded with the results. ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment can help improve
other salon services as well and is highly recommended for hair that;
Is
too weak or fine to take a perm, bleach, straightener or relaxer. (Use the week
PRIOR to service)
Is
over-bleached.
Will
not hold color. (Use PRIOR to color application for 30% less fade after 10
shampoos and truer shades)
Breaks
when combed or brushed.
Is
mushy when wet and brittle after drying.
Has
lost its curl pattern due to chemical over processing
DIRECTIONS
Shake well before use! Keep out of eyes. If product
gets into the eyes, rinse thoroughly with clean water. (The pH of ApHogee
Two-Step Protein Treatment is about that of lemon juice and it will cause
similar eye irritation).
DAMAGED HAIR
1.
Gently cleanse hair with ApHogee Shampoo for Damaged Hair. Rinse
thoroughly and towel blots dry.
2.
Apply enough ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment to thoroughly saturate
hair and comb blend for even distribution.
3.
Leave hair uncovered, DO NOT use a plastic cap. Seat client under medium
heat dryer. (Alternatively, a hand dryer may be used, but hair SHOULD NOT be
agitated while drying.) NOTE: When ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment is dried
into the hair, the hair becomes extremely hard. DO NOT comb or brush hair while
ApHogee Two-Step ProteinTreatment is dried and in the hair.
4.
Re-wet and gently rinse thoroughly with warm water. Repeat.
5.
Apply ApHogee Balancing Moisturizer to hair and scalp. Leave in for 2
minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
6.
Proceed to next service or style as usual.
Wash
hair with ApHogee Shampoo for Damaged Hair, rinse and towel blot dry. Bleach or
lift tint in usual way and rinse. Follow general directions for applying
ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment.
To provide a better matrix to retain color
and reduce color fade on
porous hair by
30% after 10 shampoos, ApHogeeTreatment may be applied the week before applying
hair color.
Do not use ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment within 24 Hours of
Relaxer application. ApHogee is acidic and the hair and scalp should be allowed
this time to equilibrate between the highly alkaline Relaxer pH and Two-Step
Treatment
Before Relaxer: If analysis indicates
the hair is overly weak and in-elastic, prior to the relaxer service, we
recommend an ApHogee Treatment at least one day prior to the service and
re-evaluation prior to relaxing.
Following Relaxer: If a relaxer service
results in damage and breakage, wait 24 hours before application. If the
service resulted in any scalp blistering or breaks in the skin, treat as called
for and postpone the ApHogee service until healing is complete. (This is to
avoid stinging)
Process perm as directed. When curl pattern
is set and rinsing complete, towel blot hair on each rod. Apply ApHogee
Two-Step Protein Treatment to each rod and dry under warm dryer. DO NOT use a
plastic cap! Apply neutralizer and leave on hair for manufacturer’s suggested length
of time. Remove rods without stretching hair and gently massage the neutralizer
into hair and scalp. Rinse thoroughly. Apply ApHogee Balancing Moisturizer to
restore shine & luster to hair. Rinse and style as usual.
In cases where chemical processing or heat
have relaxed the curl pattern on all or part of the head, some or most of the
curl may be restored using a modified Two Step Treatment application, depending
on the amount of damage to the hair’s structure.
There are several
possible causes of this condition.
Hair may not naturally have the same
curl pattern around the entire scalp.
Damage from chemical processing may be
heavier over some areas of the head than others. This may be due to uneven
application of product, varying textures of hair or varying processing times
across the head.
Uneven damage from heat appliances.
This might occur, for example in a
right handed person blow drying or styling more heavily on the right side of
their head.
