Bleach finally got me after 8 years, my curls are wrecked

I've been doing my own foils for almost a decade and never had a meltdown, but this weekend the 30 volume sat 10 minutes too long on my 4C edges. Now I'm looking at breakage around my hairline and I have a wedding I'm styling for next Saturday. Anyone else had to do an emergency protein treatment while still working on clients?

Aphogee two step, the one that gets hard, saved my edges after I did the same thing last year. Just do it the night before you style, not the day of, cause that smell lingers and your client will judge you.

And I read somewhere that protein overload is actually a thing too, so if you've been doing treatments every week, that might be why your hair snapped in the first place. The Aphogee thing is brutal though, I tried it once and my bathroom smelled like a chemistry lab for two days. But honestly, the hard cast stage is the only thing that stopped my breakage from getting worse. Just make sure you deep condition after, like really deep condition, or your hair will feel like straw. And yeah, definitely don't do it same day as a client appointment. Learned that the hard way.
