ApHogee Balancing Moisturizer is a hydrating conditioner formulated with ApHogee's exclusive Pro-Phytamine complex of vitamins, collagen and amino acids, designed to lock in moisture and restore softness, shine and elasticity to processed or dry hair. Perfect as a required step after protein treatment, or on its own Suited to processed hair, dryness, and the ends of long hair, and is a must-use step following ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment — though it can also be used as a daily, stand-alone conditioner. Balancing what a protein treatment takes away Protein treatments strengthen hair, but that process can leave hair feeling stripped of moisture if nothing follows it. This conditioner is built specifically to restore that balance, whether used as the required second step after a protein treatment or as a regular moisturising conditioner on its own.

Must-Use After Protein Treatment: A required follow-up step after ApHogee Two-Step Protein Treatment. Versatile Use: Can also be used as a daily, stand-alone conditioner.

Who this is for Anyone with processed, dry hair, or dry ends on long hair, wanting a hydrating conditioner — whether as the required follow-up to a protein treatment or as a stand-alone daily conditioner. Who this is NOT for Not a substitute for the Two-Step Protein Treatment itself if hair needs structural repair — this moisturiser restores moisture and elasticity but doesn't provide the protein-rebuilding action of the treatment step. FAQ Q1. Do I have to use this after the Two-Step Protein Treatment? Yes — it's described as a must-use step following the treatment, helping restore the moisture and elasticity that protein treatment alone doesn't provide. Q2. Can I use this as my everyday conditioner? Yes — it can also be used as a daily, stand-alone conditioner, not just as a follow-up step. Q3. How long should I leave it on? 2 to 5 minutes for a standard treatment, or 10 to 15 minutes under a heated cap for very dry or damaged hair. Q4. Will it help my style hold up in humidity? Yes — it's formulated to help protect styles in humid conditions.
