Mixing Aphogee with moisturizing conditioners?

[miss_brown]

So I've been considering following the regimen for severely damaged hair (I've been having some breakage issues for the last week

), and I don't have a creamy protein conditioner on hand. Do you guys think it's possible to mix a non-creamy strong protein like Aphogee (or Nexxus Emergencee or DRC) with a moisturizing conditioner for that step? Or could this lead to disastrous effects?

All input is welcome

TIA

Here's the regimen I'm talking about (originally posted by Tene):

Special Emergency Procedure for Destroyed Hair

This recipe for hair repair is loosely based on a review of Redken Deep Fuel at Makeupalley.com. I don’t remember the name of the reviewer- please contact me if you are the Belgium hair stylist that designed it.
PS> I have not tried this recipe myself, so I cant vouch for it yet. But It does have all the main ingredients for hair repair; protein treatments followed by moisturizing and common sense:

Warning! It is time consuming and unless you already own these products or ones similar to them, expensive!

You will need:
Clarifying shampoo (try Redken Hair Cleansing Cream shampoo, or Suave Clarifying shampoo)
A creamy protein treatment (try Redken Deep Fuel, or Joico K-pak Deep Penetrating Reconstructor)
A moisturizing cream conditioner (try Nexxus Humectress, or Neutrogena Triple Moisture Deep conditioner)
Spray on Moisturizer (try Redken All Soft addictive hair transformer)
A final creamy protein treatment (Nexxus Keraphix)

THE ROUTINE:

1. Wash your hair with the clarifying shampoo and towel dry.
2. Mix the creamy protein treatment with the creamy moisturizing conditioner in your palm and apply all over. Put on a shower cap and leave on for 30 minutes. (You can also apply hot wet towels or a hair dryer to use heat)
3. Remove shower cap- do not rinse. Apply spray on moisturizer all over. Blow dry hair until mostly dry.
4. Rinse
5. Towel dry hair again and apply the final protein treatment. Leave this is your hair overnight.
6. The next day, shampoo and condition as normal.

She says to do this twice a week for 2 weeks and you’re hair will be fixed. She also advises against only using moisturizing or softening products on hair that is spongy and severely damaged. Use them in conjunction with protein treatments.
If you are not sure if your hair is severely damaged, then its not. Hair that is severely damaged stretches even when its dry, is white in some areas, (from over bleaching) feels spongy, and feels like it never really dries.

It sounds like a good treatment plan to me. Give it a try. I shall try this after I take down my braids. I shall use it as my condtioning treatment before my next touch up.

Ssound like it would work.

I think heavy duty proteins should be used according to instructions. It could work, but it could also cause trouble because these products are so funny....

I wouldn't mix it. I would use one and then use a mois. cond.

Thanks for the responses, y'all. I'm still going in circles with the decision

, but I'll update if I do decide to try this new mix.
