AphogeeIntensive 2 Minute Keratin Reconstructor (16 OZ)

This hair protein treatment performs as expected and as advertised. If you wish to maintain healthy hair, particularly after a relaxer or chemical treatment, this is an excellent choice. It has a light, pleasant, and non-lingering scent. I personally use it every two weeks, or after my next wash following a relaxer, to maintain strength and minimize split ends. If your hair is damaged, the instructions recommend weekly use until it feels healthy. This product will reduce breakage and shedding, noticeably so after a few uses. As with any protein treatment, follow up with a moisturizing mask for at least five minutes to replenish moisture. Your hair will feel healthier, softer, and easier to detangle. This product will help maintain hair health and improve length retention. It is highly recommended for all hair types.

After my first use I can feel my hair being softer more healthy and shinyUsed on Bleached hair works great for my hair

I have 3c/4a hair, been using this product for a couple years now. I've been natural for about 7 years but never did protein treatments, and then wondered why I kept getting so many split ends and breakage -___-. I used conditioning products all the time, but my hair wasn't retaining any type of moisturizer - even water took a few minutes to really get through my hair shafts! It was so bad. Once I figured out the importance of protein treatments, I knew I would need something quick that I can incorporate easily into my weekly washing routine, because I have neither the patience or the time to regularly do a whole separate protein treatment routine in addition to washing. I browsed all the protein treatment products at my local Sally's and decided to give this a shot first because it was the quickest to use lol.Well this product most certainly fit the bill! Not only do I have less problems with split ends, my hair retains moisture so much better and my corkscrew coils are so well defined after ^_^! I end up using less product for conditioning/moisturizing and my hair is overall more manageable. The moisture retention benefit sticks for two weeks without another treatment, but I do it weekly to keep up definition and reduce frizz.I noticed a couple reviews saying that this stuff made their hair stiff or break off, which was a little bothersome. This is a PROTEIN treatment product, not a conditioner, not a shampoo. It is not designed to take the place of either of these, and it will make your hair stiff - that's what protein does. If you don't moisturize/condition your hair after using this, your hair will be dry and more prone to breakage than usual. So use the product as instructed and hydrate and condition your hair immediately after! I love this stuff, it's done wonders for the manageability and texture of my hair. I It's affordable, easy to use, and I recommend it to anyone with type 4 hair.

This very nice product

So I've been using this product for about a year now on and off and after using it today I thought it was time to write a review.I have thin hair, but a lot of it and it has a natural kink/curl to it. Taking a stab at guessing my curl type, I'd say it's 2b - so it's manageable but frizzes easily. I had been using it about twice a week or less until about June of this year because I found other products I thought would work better and I also felt that my hair wasn't curling as much as I would like. So I left my bottle of ApHogee in the shower to sit until today.When I'm not using the product, my hair when I blow dry it has a bunch of little hairs standing up (frizz) and is very poofy and curls slightly - even when blow drying with a flat brush. When using the product, my hair when I blow dry doesn't have the little hairs standing up, is a bit less poofy and sits straighter. it helps stay less frizzy/curly when it's humid outside too. Even when visiting Florida in April of this year I found my hair didn't frizz and curl as much in all of the humidity as it usually did.I found it was harder to curl my hair when I was using it (I don't know if anyone else experienced this) but found that my hair felt smoother and somewhat healthier.I'd say follow the directions and what some people have said in other reviews where you don't use the product more than what is recommended. The effects of the product last for a bit so you don't need to use it everyday. How I use it is I shampoo, rinse, put in the ApHogee for about 2-3 minutes, rinse, then conditioner for good measure (my hair is dry from styling - I know, I'm bad).Hope this helps! I'd recommend it.

Have used it for yr. after every relaxer treatment, keep hair strong and healthy, and reduces breakage to almost none, I try to use once a month to every 6 weeks. Arrived quickly, well packaged, no problems.

I love this product. Instant results. dds shine and manageability to my 4C hair. The ultimate conditioner that's not expensive

I've purchased this product for my damaged hair because I had bleached my hair in order to achieve a vibrant purple color and so far I have to say that it has definitely made my hair very soft but my hair wasn't dry or fried by bleach. My hair was gummy and elasticy when it was wet and I needed an intense keratin treatment for my hair and this sadly didn't fulfill my needs. I've left it on for two minutes but I felt like it didn't do much other than make my hair softer so I would usually leave it in my hair for an hour or so and still my hair is still elasticy when its wet but very soft when dry. I don't know if it's just that my hair is too damaged to be repaired or not but unfortunately I won't be buying this again. I will probably be buying the ApHogee Two Step Protein instead.All I can say is that for ME, it didn't meet my expectation but it might be different for others.
