Hey girl...
The product's official name is
ApHOGEE Treatment for Damaged Hair
It does help tremendously with breakage if your hair likes protein. The smell isn't all that bad to me...it smells like an old lady.
You follow the instructions on the bottle to complete the treatment. It's very important to use this as directed since it will snap your hair like a twig if you don't follow directions. It's really quite simple...this is what I do:
A. Shampoo as usual with poo
B. Apply ApHOGEE treatment and comb through
C. Sit under hood dryer for 30-40 min to dry top portion then blow dry bottom portion WITHOUT TOUCHING THE HAIR (This is important b/c your hair gets VERY hard so you can't comb it or manipulate it)
D. Rinse the treatment out very well (I use a cup of diluted poo just to make sure I get it all out)
E. Deep condition (This is the part that probably varies the most from person to person) I condition with ApHOGEE Balancing con for about 20 min. no heat, then I follow with a moisturizing con (i.e. Nexxus Humectress w/ EVOO) with heat for an hour or 2
Afterwards my hair feels STRONG
AND MOISTURIZED which is my favorite combination!
I hope this helps...
