For anyone who has done a touch up, what product did you put on your previously chemically processed hair to prevent damage?

Nothing. I do my daughters hair every 6 months and results are the same. She uses a good shampoo and conditioner all the time so her hair is healthy so the touch up doesn't affect it.

i'm not sure if this would work, but maybe just putting conditioner and leaving it in your hair would help because the conditioner is already saturating your hair so the relaxer cant affect the hair as much

I'm a stylist, and I would read the instructions that came in the box. Basically you do the same process but only reapply it only to the new growth, do not over overlap the hair that does not need it.

No I do not use a heat protectant although it would not hurt. I also follow the instructions that came with the flat iron and I use argon oil on my hair regularly. I hope this helps.

I used rubbing alcohol and a paper towel. Poured the rubbing alcohol over the roller the ran it on the paper towel to make sure all parts were covered. If you google it there are a lot of diffret ways people suggest. I also only use it right after a shower,

I wouldn't recommend using heat products on it, but I will admit I straightened the hair once before. It basically makes the hair look fried.:\ if you keep the iron on the lowest setting and run it through quickly, it should be fine. I used hairspray in mine, so the "fried" look could be a result from the use of hairspray. best of luck. hope I was able to be of some help to you!

I don't remember however it was more along the lines of a harsh chemical process like a perm, but worse. It destroyed my hair!!

Yes. My hair was highlighted when I had the perm put in. There was no damage done. However, I did wait for a few weeks between color & perm. Best perm I ever had. I bought two and am waiting to use the other one.

DevaCare is for chemically treated hair. Works really well with reds to help make your color last longer.

I usually deep condition my hair first under a steamer for about 30 minutes using a hair mask. I wash out the hair mask then apply the Aphogee Keratin Reconstructor after. Leave on 5 minutes then rinse. I do this because I don't want to remove the added protein and keratin that the aphogee puts into my hair shaft. Since I'm a natural girl, I want my hair as strong as possible so I make the Aphogee the last step before I style. If you are wearing your hair straight it might be better to use the aphogee then a conditioner, then rinse and style.

I don't doubt that this can assist with any sort of hair damage that involves drying--caused by chemicals, heat or other methods. The package states, "treats extra dry, over-processed and color treated hair."Hope that helps! By the way, this is weekly use product. You should also check out their daily conditioner that's also from their Triple Moisture line.

Not sure what you mean by "treated", but my hair is dyed & highlighted and it doesn't hurt/bother anything. That's actually the reason I sought out products like this, because my hair has been so processed it needs some help in the hydration area. It can get dry/brittle/frizzy. However, I've found that your hair tends to get used to a product after using it for an extended period, so sometimes it's necessary to change up your products. I love this mask! A little goes a long way, and I even but some in my dry hair sometimes.....but just a little. :-) Hope that helps!!

My hair is color treated, but not dramatically. My hair is dry, but definitely not too damaged considering the fact that any chemical will damage your hair.

actually Im not sure if it is safe to use it on chemically processed hair, but as a pharmacist I advice you to wait for at least 6 months to apply any kind of perminant treatments to avoid more damage of your hair, knowing that all kinds of straightners are causing hair fall with different gedrees.

I have before. Be careful not to stretch it thogh. Keep your solution that came with it to reapply.

I used a straightener a tiny bit on the other wig i got from taobaopit, and it make it a little more crunchy and split-end looking. Essentially, you could probably fix it a little (like 1 or 2 quick curls at most) but not much before damaging it.

I just had a very small hair line crack, and I just used a small bit of it on the inside of the clear glass lid to seal it and protect it when putting the lid on. It dried clear. I just applied it with the tip and smeared it with a plastic knife to make it flat. Wiped off extra with a damp cotton swab.

This is a serum that you use daily after washing and toning. I would not use it directly after a chemical peel; you should be using extra gentle moisturizers like grape seed oil only until your skin heals. Then you can resume using this daily.
