ApHogee Two Step Protein Treatment 4 oz / 118 ml - Intensive Hair Repair for Damaged Hair
The 4 oz bottle is the sensible way into the Two Step Protein Treatment. Same professional formula as the large size, in 118 ml, which is enough to find out how your hair responds before you buy a bottle that will outlive the problem.
There is a second reason to keep this size around. ApHogee say the treatment helps hair hold colour up to 30% longer after ten shampoos, so it doubles as a pre-colour step, and it prepares weakened hair for chemical services generally. If you are booking a relaxer or a bleach on hair that has already been through both, this is the thing to do first.
The core job is breakage. It is built for hair weakened by relaxing, perming, bleaching or heavy heat, and it is aimed at the stage where hair breaks under a comb or a brush rather than simply feeling rough.
Follow the pack sequence exactly. A two step treatment used as a one step treatment does nothing useful at all.
Worth noting that the small size is not a diluted one. It is the same formula and it demands the same care, so do not treat it as a casual conditioner because the bottle happens to be small.

Application tips
Start on a small section if you have never used it, the back underneath where a mistake stays hidden. Clean, towel dried hair, both steps in sequence, timer running.
Booking colour or a relaxer? Run it a few days before the appointment rather than on the morning, and tell your stylist you have used it so they can adjust their timings.
Results
The change is structural rather than cosmetic, so firmness is what you feel first. Hair that bent and snapped under a brush starts to give and recover instead. Colour laid over treated hair sits deeper and fades more slowly, up to 30% longer across ten shampoos. On over processed lengths that mushy, elastic feel when wet goes, and at 118 ml you can judge it before committing to the full size.
