@curl.compass: Replying to @pneumopathy Protein Treatments vs Bond Builders 🧖🏾‍♀️ Hopefully this clears some confusion! Not all hair repair is the same 👀 Here’s the real difference between the two: ✨ Protein treatments rebuild the outer layer of your hair, strengthening and reinforcing the strand to prevent breakage. 🧬 Bond builders repair the inside of the strand by reconnecting broken bonds caused by heat, color, or chemical damage. They work differently but complement each other beautifully — I personally use both @K18 Hair and @ApHogee in my treatments 💆🏾‍♀️ Your hair needs both strength and structure to truly thrive 💪🏾💫 #proteintreatment #bondrepair #naturalhair #healthyhairtips #haircareroutine

K18 isn’t a bond builder. They state this in their marketing. It does repair on a molecular level or keratin chains while traditional bond builders like Olaplex reconnect disulfide bonds.

Apoghee I do every 6 weeks (hair is relaxed) my k18 I do as needed. Usually the apoghee and a trim keeps my hair just right.

I have high porosity hair thats very dry and breaks easy and i don’t ever do protein or bond repair cause it seems to do more damage than good.

Can you do a start to finish with the protein treatment? You said it has to have heat on it if possible start to finish video. I’m still kind of confused sorry.

I have relaxed hair. I will do protein treatments on relaxer days and in between I alternate mostly hydration and bond builders. If any of my products have protein in between relaxers it’s very little. Since I premature gray my hair wants more moisture than anything😩

I add a bond builder right before I put in braids or a long term protective style. Best thing I could ever do for my hair.

So can they both be used at the same time and if so, which one should be applied first?
