Aphogee two-step protein treatment. This unique treatment is made with magnesium and modified proteins that fuse together in the hair when exposed to heat. The result is that breakage is significantly reduced. ApHogee Two Step Protein Treatment is a salon service product unlike any product available for home use. During the process, the ApHogee treatment hardens in the hair, dramatic proof that something special is happening. A hood dryer is required for best results. After rinsing and moisturizing with ApHogee Balancing Moisturizer, patients are delighted with the results. ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment can also enhance other salon services. This healing process is highly recommended for hair that: Is too weak or fine to use a perm or relaxer. (Use the week BEFORE serving) Is over-bleached. Does not retain paint. (Use BEFORE applying color.) Breaks when combing or brushing. Is pasty when wet and brittle after drying.
