Aphogee Two-step Treatment Protein for Damaged Hair 16 oz.

Good product, helps hair gain strength.

Amazing Hair Repair. I had my hair bleached completely to change color drastically, and it did, but at a cost of having it badly damaged Aphogee 2 step was the miracle hair repair. I spent a lot of money in expensive hair repair products and nothing worked like Aphogee!

After damaging my hair quite badly earlier this year, I was experiencing a lot of breakage and generally unhealthy looking hair. After a lot of research, I found many people recommending this (along with the Balancing Moisturiser). Apparently it’s an ‘OG’ in the natural hair community! I bought them separately as the the moisturiser bottle is significantly smaller in the kit, and I have A LOT of hair (less than before though). I wouldn’t say it is difficult to use, but you do have to follow the instructions to the letter: Wash your hair, apply generously on clean damp hair, allow to dry (preferably blow dry) until rock hard. DO NOT TOUCH OR MANIPULATE AT THIS STAGE! Rinse out thoroughly and follow with the Balancing Moisturiser. Application is messy, the solution is sticky, and it will get everywhere, but all of the pros outweigh the cons. My hair, which has never experienced breakage, was breaking off every time I brushed or washed it. After this treatment, I have had ZERO breakage whatsoever. It is extremely effective, one just has to be aware of balancing protein and moisture in their routine. I’ve used this twice, about 8 weeks apart, and will continue at the same interval until the bottle is finished. I may repurchase if necessary, or I may downgrade to a less intensive treatment like the Aphogee Hair Strengthening 2-pack, or the 2-min Keratin Reconstructor. Highly highly recommend for damaged, breaking hair.

I first found out about this stuff after attempting to bleach several year's worth of black dye out of my naturally blonde hair (no one who knows what they're talking about will ever recommend that you try this, myself included). I had managed to get it to yellow-blonde but I'd gone too fast, managed to burn a lot of my hair off with chemicals (bleaching should be done every few weeks at most, not twice in one week (never again)) and what remained was in a state of near-breakage. I didn't even touch it for fear of it all falling off like some poorly plotted after school special about the horrors of alternative hair color. After Aphogee, my hair didn't magically turn into long glistening silky locks of awesome but I'd have to be totally naive to expect that level of transformation. Here's what happened: it stopped breaking off when I brushed and/or styled it, it was strong enough to feel like real hair again (as opposed to like spiderwebs) and it looked okay while I grew it into something less off-putting than my chemical pixie cut. The only major fault that I can think of is that it's supposed to be "FOR PROFESSIONAL SALON USE ONLY" (says this right on the bottle), so a lot of people are probably using it when they don't need it. This is something that a stylist would use if you have severely damaged hair. And they'd use a deep conditioner afterward, that part is really essential. If your hair feels like melty cotton candy when it's wet, use this. If you can grab a thick section of your hair, then pull on the last inch or so and it breaks off in your hands clean across, use this. If your hair has been bleached white and won't hold hair color at all, use this. If your hair's a little dry and could stand to be in better shape... just get a deep conditioner 'cause this will likely do more harm than good. Note: I don't care what this is made out of. It could be 100% pure crushed-up baby unicorns and I'd still recommend it because it WORKS.

I do like it, I just can't comb it through my hair like your supposed to because I have alot of hair but it's fine and tangles extremely easy. So I end up just squeezing the solution all through my hair. I probably waste alot doing it that way plus I don't want to get it in my scalp because I have psoriasis and it burns so I hang my head over the sink when applying.

Okay, let me preface this by saying I have been in the hair game for a while, over a decade I believe. I understand moisture and protein balance, length retention, etc. So I am not a novice. So tell me why I let all my knowledge slide when my hair started breaking uncontrollably. I am talking clumps - granted, I did go through some stressful event and just attributed it to that. I then realized how Aphogee had come through for me before so I was like "Add to cart". These are the steps I followed and let me tell you, breakage reduced by 90%. (I do not want to lie and say 100% because then your expectations would be unrealistic) 1. I clarified my hair to ensure there was no product build up 2. I wore gloves as this thing gets messy and sticky 3. I sectioned my hair into 4 and applied from the bottle to my gloved hand to my hair 4. I smoothed in using my fingers and then LEFT IT ALONE 5. The instructions say DO NOT COVER WITH A PLASTIC CAP. DO not, as removing might agitate the hair - because once the solution sets, it dries like a hard rock 6. I do not have a hooded drier so I used my Dyson dryer which did the job in about 5minutes 7. I left it on for another 5 minutes and at this point, I was pushing the limit because I was becoming John Snow (Game of thrones fans will understand this) 8. I rinsed it out GENTLY. Please be gentle. At this point, the hair is pretty much like crackers. Don't go losing all your hair because you were not gentle. Now the biggest flex was when I followed up with a moisturizing conditioner, it was SLIP ALL THE WAY! So we killed 2 hair birds with one Aphogee stone- reduced breakage and increased moisture retention. This will also last forever. Get it!

I had extremely damaged hair after going from dyed black to brown, (my hair is naturally dark brown, straight, fine and about 50% gray). After color removal and several bleach treatments my hair was like straw, would not hold color at all, and my only option appeared to cut it all off. After reading about Aphogee Two-step treatment, I felt like this was my last option (before cutting off the damage!) I had already tried many conditioning treatments with no improvement including K-pak, coconut oil overnight, etc. First, I read up on the application process, as well as all the reviews I could find. I then applied the Aphogee Two-Step with a spray bottle, it is messy and starts hardening in about 5 minutes, so I saturated my hair and then loosely piled it on top on my head, blow dried for 50 minutes until it was hard and seemed as dry as it would get. Per suggestions from previous reviewers, I reclined in the tub to allow my hardened hair to soften and then showered and rinsed for several minutes. I applied Biolage conditioning balm to my hair for about 5 minutes and rinsed. I added some Its-a-10 and some Fekkai glossing cream. Okay, so after all of this, my hair still looked bad, it was less dry and somewhat healthier looking, but it was not a miracle or dramatic improvement. I hoped that after coloring it would improve. I waited 24 hours and colored with a non-permanent color, conditioned with Biolage for about 5 minutes, rinsed, towel dried & applied Its-a-10 & fekkai glossing cream. Wow! My hair looked good, it felt soft and held the color.It's been two weeks now and the color still looks great! There has been a huge improvement and I am very happy that I will not need to cut off all my hair. Some tips: Apply with a spray bottle. Plan beforehand where you will place your hair to ensure that it will completely dry, you cannot move it AT ALL once it dries as it may break off! Wear gloves, the product is sticky and a bit irritating to the skin. I used a hand dryer and it worked great, just plan at least 30 minutes of straight blow drying. Before using, read all the reviews, I found this very helpful. I don't plan on using it again at this time, but if I do, you need to wait 6 weeks between treatments. Make sure to condition afterwards with a non-protein condition. Only use this if your hair is extremely damaged, it is not for healthy hair. Thanks!

Instantly stopped my haur from falling out after my son passed away

Let me start by saying that this product helped me through a terrible hair crisis. Due to a chemical reaction, my hair turned to gum and I lost 3/4 of my long, beautiful hair:( I wish I'd known about this before my catastrophe. After I found this, it changed my hair texture back from gum to normal, strong hair. I will say that it did not change the texture, so it didn't help with frizz but it definitely rebonded the rest of my gummy hair. I now skip the 2nd step and use my own extreme moisture product, because step 2 stinks WAY too much and it's more like a conditioner. The process is weird. You wash, them apply, dry it, and then rinse and condition. I find it very sticky while I'm using it but I now use it every 6 weeks or so to maintain the integrity of my hair. I lost my hair almost 6 months ago and since I started to use this, I haven't lost anymore.

Para cabello super dañado es una buena opción mas si ti cabello es rizado

I really do recommend this it will transform the hair immediately will be soft and detangled

لأن نتائجة ممتازة

I HAD to write this review: I had 4C hair texture, then I got a keratin treatment a month ago and my hair is likely a 4B with defined rift curls. However the last two weeks my hair began to shed drastically! A friend of a friend told me about this product. Expensive but willing to give it a try! I used liquid keratin shampoo then applied the treatment as instructed on the bottle. Note it’s really liquidy so next time I’ll likely put it in a spray bottle. Also it very sticky when drying and smells. I used it prior to taking a shower and I stayed in the washroom during the drying time. Highly recommended! Once I rinsed it, i then used liquid keratin conditioner to condition my hair for 15 mins. Towel dried my hair and used the Aphogee keratin spray and oil mayonnaise leave in treatment. Then I Blow dried my hair with an ion brush dryer! Love it! I applied a few drops of sweet almond oil and straightened with L’Oréal steam pod. Two days as of today and my hair has STOPPED shedding! Yes it was a combination of all but I must say using a protein treatment once a month or biweekly is VERY important to maintain healthy, strong hair! Also the main reason I used keratin based shampoo and conditioner was to maintain my keratin treatment.
