That year, I decided to grow out my hair, and grow it out I did.
Dont let the curls on the right fool youthis hair has seen some things.
After all, our strands can only take so much pressure from us before it starts to snap.
ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment & Balancing Moisturizer Packette $5.00
What is a protein treatment?
Protein treatments are chemical hair treatments that replace the essential protein thats missing from damaged hair.
Without necessary protein, hair is more prone to breakage and frizz.
Caitlin Townsend is a vivid color, blondes, and balayage specialist at Tried and True Salon in Denton, Texas.
These treatments help reconstruct compromised hair strands by replacing the protein that was lost through trauma.
Too much protein in the hair can actually cause the hair to break more, warns Townsend.
It overwhelms the hair and makes it angrier instead of helping it!
Amongst their offerings, I found a few stray single-use packs of theAphogee Two-Step Protein Treatment and Balancing Moisturizer.
For what its worth, Townsend agrees that this mini-but-mighty protein treatment is well worth the hype.
The single-use packet is divided into two compartments.
Be warned, dear readerthis step smells a lil bit funky.
The solution itself is pretty watery, so I found it tricky to apply.
Next, I grabbed my hair dryer and went to work.

The smooth, creamy texture of the formula was a welcome change from the sticky protein treatment.
This step isnt necessary per the instructions, but in my experience, a little extra conditioner cant hurt.
Huzzahmy compromised hair finally felt like hair again!
This was a huge turnaround from the straw-like texture it had before.
It was softer, more manageable, and seemed to have regained some structural integrity.
Next time, though, Ill be investing in the full-sized bottles that ApHogee offers.
If your hair has been a little lackluster lately, consider giving this treatment a go.
Im glad I did!
