Do you use a moisturizing conditioner after rinsing the Keraphix out? How often do you use Nexxus Keraphix? Lastly, how long do you leave it in your hair before rinsing?
Yes, definitely use a moisturizing condit afterwards because Keraphix is a protein conditioner. It is relatively mild compared to stronger protein condits like Aphogee or Nexxus Emergencee. I would recommend using protein once prior to relaxing and once after relaxing. Otherwise, reserve its use only if you are experiencing breakage. I follow the directions on the bottle re: leave in time...HTH
Thanks Lunalight. I was thinking that if I would use a moisturizing conditoner afterwards, I would use Motions Moisture Plus since it doesn't have protein and the Humectress does have a little protein in it.
Hi,
I use my Keraphix really often--I'd say almost every week--but my hair is relaxed AND color-treated, and it seems to LOOOOVE the Keraphix. The extra protein seems to be doing my hair a world of good!! Yes, I do use a moisturizing conditioner afterwards, always!! I leave it in for about 20 minutes, under the heating cap, which seems to make it more effective for me.
I use Nexxus Keraphix, (or any other protein conditioner), once a month, and I follow it up with a moisture treatment like Nexxus Humectress or Keracare Humecto.

Ditto, either that or Mizani Moisturfuse (with heat). I leave the keraphix in my hair for about 5 mins (in the shower, or if i have time, under a hooded dryer for about 15-20 mins) followed by the moisturfuse (or humecto) (under hooded dryer for 20 mins as well. Results = Beautiful, soft hair...

I love this stuff. It greatly reduced my breakage and it smells delicious
Question: Some use the emergencee befoer a relaxer and the keraphix after, but emergencee is very expensive so does anyone think that using the keraphix and the keraphix only for protein would be sufficient? (1 week before relaxer, 1 week after, and halfway touch up)
hi pbe,
i deep condition w/heat with the keraphix (once every four weeks.i also use that aloe rid clarifying shampoo to get better results from the keraphix), final rinse w/humectress and then set w/headress leave-in conditioner. my hair comes out smooth, silky, & pretty.
