Aphogee 2step-Drum Roll!!!

OK so i decided on finally trying that Aphogee 2step protein everyone been talking about. Im not a big fan of protein because of my last encounter with the ORS Hair Mayo. So being on Hairlista just makes you want to try new things whether its oils or some weird rinse concoction lol but its been fun and helpful. So Last Monday i did my Aphogee 2 step protein treatment.


I bought the little packs that comes with both the protein and the moisture treatment. 


I made sure i borrowed an over head hair dryer so i can followed the directions as is:

Shake well before use. Gently cleanse hair with ApHOGEE Shampoo. Rinse thoroughly and towel blot. Apply enough ApHOGEE Treatment to thoroughly saturate hair and comb blend for even distribution. Leave hair uncovered. Do not use a plastic cap, and seat client under medium heat dryer. (Alternatively, a hand dryer may be used, but hair should not be agitated while drying.)
Note: When ApHOGEE Treatment is dried into the hair, the hair becomes extremely hard. Do not comb or brush hair while ApHOGEE Treatment is dried and in the hair. Re-wet and gently rinse thoroughly with warm water.
Apply ApHOGEE Moisturizer to hair & scalp. Leave for 2 minutes, then rinse thoroughly. Proceed to next service or style as usual.



My steps:
shampoo
apply treatment (i put it in a spray bottle n sprayed all over.)
sat under dryer for 25 min till hair was hard as rock
rinse the treatment out
apply moisturizing treatment in sections
sat under dryer for 2 min (well 5 min to make sure)
Deep Condition 
leave in conditioner
Seal style.

Results:
My hair feel softer and more manageable,
1 week later my hair doesn't shed as much as b4, and no longer as dry.

So i guess it worked!!!
Thumbs up- thanks for reading.:)

Water Challenge!!!!!!!! Thirsty much??

A few days ago i decide im gonna Challenge my self to drink water. Yes it sound silly, everybody drinks water right??? Wrong!!! Ask yourself these questions:
How much water do i drink?
How often do i drink it?
Am i consistent?
Is is everyday, one in a blue?
Is is only when I eat?

By the answer to your question you can tell if you need to do a water challenge.. why you ask??
Because Water is good for you

The functions of water in human body are vital. The water:
  • Transports nutrients and oxygen into cells
  • Moisturizes the air in lungs
  • Helps with metabolism
  • Protects our vital organ
  • Helps our organs to absorb nutrients better
  • Regulates body temperature
  • Detoxifies
  • Protects and moisturizes our joints
Every cell in your body needs water from head to toe. That is why it is so important to drink enough fluid. Take for example, brain consists of 90% of water, if you do not supply enough water to your body, your brain cannot function well, and you will get headache or migraine. Hence, next time, if you feel fatigue and headache, it may be the sign of dehydration

Especially if you doing a Hair journey like me, You need water in your life

This is my challenge:

WEEK 1- DRINK AT LEAST 2 BOTTLES OF WATER A DAY
WEEK 2- 2 1/2 BOTTLES OR 3
WEEK 3- 3 BOTTLES
WEEK 4- 4 BOTTLES= 8OZ

BY REQUIREMENT ITS BEST TO DRINK AT LEAST 8OZ OF WATER PER DAY. I have 16.9fl oz bottles so 4 bottles

HOPE THIS WAS VERY INFORMATIVE AND MOTIVATED YOU
GOOD LUCK TO ME AND YOU!!!
