Protein DC 1 week before a relaxer

[mahogany_horizons]

Hey ladies, I'm thinking about doing a protein dc one week before my relaxer to give my hair strength. Is this advisable, or should I wait until after the relaxer.

I always do this.

I know that protein can be added to the relaxer. It'll seal the broken disulfide bonds, but it can't repair them.

For the last two relaxers, I have been doing this and I can tell a significant difference. Doing the protein treatment the week before my relaxer along with my relaxer prep (on the day of relaxer) - coat previous relaxed hair,add-ins (almond oil and neutral protein filler), and aphogee before the neutralizer has made a world of difference.

I always do heavy protein before and after ....use a balancing cond after
