My Dirty, Conditioned Afro Puff Today

Well I've been wearing braids straight to the back, leaving out some of my hair for blending purposes in the front.

So I decided to take my braids down and wash my hair. This is my hair with conditioner on it before I begin to wash it. I'm about to get my workout on on my day off. So I snapped this picture. It has grown TREMENDOUSLY! Gotten much thicker but I did get some breakage in the back.

I will do a protein treatment today but I'm not sure if I need to do a Two Step treatment from Aphogee. I don't want to disturb the balance of moisture and protein for my hair, but I'm noticing some breakage on the ends.
