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.

You can if you'd like to, but I rarely ever do that. This product moisturizes your hair and strengthens it. Everyone's hair is different. Use the product first and then decide what your hair needs.

You can use it either as a normal conditioner or as a weekly/biweekly/monthly/whenever treatment and just leave it in longer. I don't use the rest of the line, but I use keratin protein shampoo and conditioner from a different line and this product is a good addition to them.

No you don't. I originally just bought the keratin infusion and love how it feels on my hair. I have thicker wavy hair that can sometimes be hard to manage as it gets frizzy. The keratin infusion keeps the friz away without weighing it down and leaves it really soft. I decided to try the shampoo later. I think they work really well together as the shampoo eliminates buildup, but its optional. They both smell great and are sulfate free as well.

I didn't use the moisturizer very much. If you have thin hair, you have to be careful how much moisturizer you use. Too much and your hair turns out very limp. A cosmetologist told me never to use any white moisturizer on my hair, and this Keranique is white and, I think, too heavy for thin hair.

I use my regular cleanser before (and after) the microdermabrasion. Make sure skin is dry before you use the machine. After treatment I use a soothing masque for 15-20 minutes, rinse before applying a rich replenishing moisturizer. I prefer using microdermabrasion in evening so skin has time to rest and absorb the rich moisturizer. Skin usually looks beautiful the next morning!

Yes you can, I also use Aphogee provitamin leave in conditioner after the intensive conditioner. Try not to use heat on over processed hair. Shampoo gently, condition, make a natural hot oil treatment and end with the leave in conditioner. Allow hair to air dry(handle over processed hair as little as possible with heat)

I ordered the Original. I was using it night and day. The instructions state: Gentle enough for everyday use. My current morning favorite is Regenerist Micro-Sculpting Serum which can be used day and night. I like to use the Serum in the morning and the moisturizer at night. The moisturizer helps with winter dryness. The serum makes my skin feel silky. You can check out the Olay website for ingredient differences.

You can definately use your chi, as long as it heats up to 450. The keratin requires 450 to complete the treatment. But after wipe it down because it will build up on your iron & smell everytime you use it on your other clients.

Apply toner first, then serum and allow to dry. I follow that with a moisturizer.

Samah,Keratin is actually part of the construct of hair. This produce makes the keratin layers smooth so hair is easy to comb or brush, styles nicely and smelly heavenly!! It is very thick so I dispensed some into smaller bottles (a small dish detergent bottle for the shampoo and a hand soap dispenser for the conditioner.. Just follow the directions especially about leaving the conditioner on for a while. I shampoo, rinse , apply conditioner and then continue with my shower. T have coarse hair (with some grey) that I have permed so it's very dry. With this product my hair stopped falling out and combs without tangles. I hope this helps. I don't think you'll regret giving it a try. Samah,Keratin is actually part of the construct of hair.

Yes, you need to wash it off with water. Use it while you shower and use a moisturizer after you dry off.

I just looked at the instructions on the Peel and it says to use with the corrector DAILY moisturizer. Had to read it a couple of times to get it but I believe you use just the peel at night and the other the next day. Hope this helps. GP

You must mix this with your normal moisturizer. Instructions say not to use alone. It does not make my face any dryer but I notice more of an improvement in overall texture.

i normally let it dry for a few minutes while I dry my hair. No different than any other moisturizer. THEN I add cerave sunscreen before my make-up. Love this company ..the cream (in the round container) helped my crepe skin

Hello, for the first part of your question, you can use another conditioner or replace your other conditioner with this one. I use this as my conditioner. It makes your hair really soft and is an excellent detangler. I use the Avalon moisturizing shampoo when I have it. If not then I use Cream of Nature conditioning shampoo, or even Neutrogena Triple Moisture Shampoo...anything that provides moisture back to my hair because my hair is dry. I love this product...and it smells good.

Yes you can. I used a moisturizer over the retinol when I first started. Now that my skin has adjusted, I do not have to. I believe that I read somewhere that it is most effective if a moisturizer is not used.
