ApHogee Two Step Protein Treatment 473ml

This product alone saved my hair! Yes, it is expensive. But it is worth it. I highly recommend buy a spray bottle for i for easy application (you only need a little bit to saturate the hair) and follow instructions. My hair was previously brittle feeling, breaking and constantly dry. My hair after using it has never been so soft and healthy looking! My hair takes long to dry so I slept in it, on my satin pillow and it was fine! A bit messy but just shower after,lol. I have high porosity hair, 3c/4a,4b and 4c hair texture, I NEEDED THE PROTEIN! Now, I recommend it to everyone!I plan to use it once a month. I also highly recommend a very hydrating and moisturising treatment after if your regular hair routine is not enough or you won’t feel/see the benefits, it’s lack of moisture then! I use a store brought Shea moisture Jamaican black castor old leave in conditioner and dax plus Indian hemp deep conditioning moisturiser = perfect combination (a little bit goes a long way) for my hair especially now the weather is getting cold.

Let's be clear.There is nothing as good as this. Nothing. No protein re-structuring product has the force of this one. Not Redken Extreme, nor Paul Mitchel, Nor Nexuus - nor the list of other high end mega potions.This one is cheap, and weird to use - but it is PROFESSIONAL quality. So not made to lure the over-the-counter lovely packaging, nice smell crew.To use: shampoo hair. Towel dry. Distribute loads through all your hair (be warned it is sticky and slimy and odd smelling). Then pile your hair on top of your head and settle down for a long session with the hairdryer. I have a hood dryer so that it is easy. But either way, loads of heat for a long time.This stuff sets rock hard. Solid. Then keep applying the heat. Reckon on minimum 1/2 up to one whole hour. It's the heat that catalyzes the protein to form new "hair" and replace the old, treated apology for hair I had before.Then gently moisten all the hair - which is now set rock solid - SO DO NOT USE THE HEAT WITH THE HAIR LYING DOWN YOUR BACK IF YOU ARE GOING TO HANG YOUR HEAD OVER THE BATH AFTERWARDS. Moisten thoroughly until the hair begins to soften. Then rinse it all out. Finish with a conditioner - yes, this is not a conditioner in the sense of all those things you buy that add moisture, silicones and softness. So you need to finish with your regular conditioner.That's it. Oh yeh - and say welcome back to hair that is like real, live, lovely hair. The sort of stuff you had before you bleached it, bombed it, fried it, pulled it. dehydrated it, curled it and stripped it of all meaningful life.I repeat, nothing else on this planet is as good at this stuff for reviving dead ex-hair and returning it to its living state.Happy revival.

I don't often leave ratings but I needed to for this product because a) it has truly saved my hair, and b) I wanted to write a review that wanted to tell you that you don't just need to consider this product if your hair is, like a couple of other reviewers have described, utterly destroyed - melting and snapping off from bleach persecution and heat styling misery. I made the very uncharacteristic hair mistake of using the John Frieda Go Blonder shampoo and conditioner for a few weeks about a month ago. It made my hair begin to break off - not severe, but as my hair is usually very strong and healthy I noticed immediately and set about fixing it. Every time I ran my fingers through my hair, brushed it, washed it, noticeably short hairs would come out in my hands. Again, not loads! But enough that made me panic. Let me tell you, I wasted a huge amount on salon brand intensive hair masks when I could have fixed the problem in ONE WASH with this absolute bottled lightning. Finished the process an hour ago and not only did a single short hair fall out whilst in the shower, none did during brushing out or styling either. A VERY IMPORTANT WARNING - If your hair's damage is simply dry, i.e., it requires moisture, this will NOT help! If anything it will probably make your hair MORE dry. However, through extensive research as to why my hair was still breaking even though I was treating it to frequent (and expensive!!) moisturising masks, I worked out my hair was in fact lacking protein. That is what this product gave me - it is not designed to make your hair soft, it is making it STRONGER. You can get a deep conditioner sachet in a pharmacy for about £2. What you can't get so easy is a scientifically legit strengthener. This is it. Do some research, there's loads of articles online about how to tell - if your hair problems are due to a lack of protein and not moisture (or both) then this is the potion of your wildest trichological dreams.

As a white female I was a little apprehensive about using this product as it was advertised more towards afro-Caribbean type hair. However, as my hair was very badly damaged, dry and brittle I was in desperate need of something to save my locks. To give you an idea of just how badly damaged my hair was I had stripped a vivid red colour from my hair and gone to a platinum blonde. This involved four colour strippers and two hairs dyes over the space of 5 days. The condition of my hair was terrible. The hair snapped even when brushed.I used this treatment as soon as it arrived. I had read reviews before use, so I knew what to expect and how to use it. When I washed the treatment off my hair felt very dry, so I used the Aphogee Moisturizer (which I wouldn't recommend), however this didn't do much, so I used my own Aussie Formula Miracle Moist conditioner and this brought my hair back to a nice soft condition.When drying my hair I noticed the difference immediately. I could brush my hair without it snapping. My hair was still a little dry after treatment, however it was in much better condition than pre-treatment, and more importantly it was stronger. I used the treatment again 6 weeks later, and once again my hair feels stronger and in better condition.I would recommend this for very damaged hair.
