How often do you use it? How do you use it? Do you use the shampoo and Balancing Moisturizer as well? If not, what other products do you use?

I use it every 6-8 weeks. Sometimes I use their shampoo but most times I clarify first so I use a clarifying poo.

I don't like the smell of the balancing moisturizer and it does not moisturize my hair so I don't use it.

I just use any moisturizing deep conditioner with heat for at least 25 minutes and then I'm good to go.

I agree with all of the above. If I'm noticing a lot of breakage (which isn't often) I use it faithfully every 6-8 weeks until the breakage lessens...and I always use it the week before my relaxer to strengthen my hair against the relaxer process. No exceptions.

On how to use it: I clarify my hair and put some of the 2 step in a spray bottle and saturate my hair with it. I get under my hooded dryer and stay under it until the product hardens on my hair. I rinse it out and follow with the balancing moisturizer--which sucks--and then I DC with my condish of choice (Kenra MC) with heat for 30 mins.

On another note, I use the 2 min Reconstructor every week. It's a light/mild protein for me and helps with maintaining the strength of my relaxed hair. I think that since I use protein often (but always follow with a moisturizer), it's why don't have a huge problem with breakage. Knocking on wood!!

I use it a week before my relaxer always; additionally if I see any major breakage. I don't use the balancing moisturizer, I use a favorite DC of my choice under the steamer. I clarify before every use. I also use the 2 minute as needed during the rest of the year!

I use it the week before I get a relaxer. I don't use their shampoo. I DC with a good moisturizing conditioner afterwards. I just got a relaxer and I used it last week, I might use it again next week bc I was experiencing some breakage the last few weeks.
