Do you use it?: Yes
Do you have to use it every 6 weeks?: No. usually I apply it about two weeks after a touch-up, and then as needed--could be 8 weeks or 12 weeks until the next one. I let my hair guide me.
If you dont use Aphogee is there another BIG Protein that you use/recommend for strengthening hair?: I haven't really tried a comparable product because I get good results from Aphogee. However, I wouldn't mind tring one that works as well without the smell!!!

Do you use it? Yep.
Have you ever used it??? Yep
Do you have to use it every 6 weeks??? No. I did use it every 8 weeks when my hair was permed, but since being natural for 2 years, I have not used it as frequently. Last aphogee treatment was bout 6 months ago. I've found that with the natural hair, a good protein wash does the trick. If/when I go back to permed hair I will probably start using Aphogee again regularly.
If you dont use Aphogee is there another BIG Protien that you use/recommend for strengthening hair??? Not sure what you mean by BIG protein. Are you talking about concentrated protein treatments vs protein conditioners?! I know that KMS, ABBA, iKon all make concentrated protein treatments. I haven't tried them.
I simply wash with my usual conditioner...and once a month or so, I'll treat my hair to an intensive keratin packed conditioner - Formula's by Ecoly Tri-Wheat Reconstructor.

Do you use it?
I have some but i dont use it cause i'm scurrrred. The tangles aint no joke. I have since been using Emergencee and it works even better, it immediately stops breakage after 1 use, and it's softer on the hair and doesnt revert your relaxer.
Have you ever used it??? Yep, i used to use it 2wks after a relaxer, and about 1 week before a relaxer. Now I use emergencee
Do you have to use it every 6 weeks??? nope, only when your hair is breaking. Or i'd recommend 2 weeks before and after a perm, to give u added strength.
If you dont use Aphogee is there another BIG Protien that you use/recommend for strengthening hair??? Emergencee is a lifesaver. It's just as good as Aphogee, but not as mean. Its quite expensive though...

Do you use it? No
Have you ever used it??? Yes
Do you have to use it every 6 weeks??? I think you may have to if ur hair is majorly damaged
If you dont use Aphogee is there another BIG Protien that you use/recommend for strengthening hair??? No, not really. I have used Nexxus Emergencee and I didn't like it.
Aphogee did stop my breaking, but I think due to my own incorrect usage, i got BAD tangling! BAD, BAD tangling. So here is a lil tip: Comb it through and DONT work it in with fingers....It will save u alot of grief!

Have you ever used it??? Yep I use it twice a year.
Do you have to use it every 6 weeks???I believe it depends on what you do to your hair. ie. coloring, heat, etc.

Lastly, I've used Emergencee, but it is a different type of strengthener, hydrolyzed collegen vs. the more powerful hydrolyzed animal protien in Aphogee and DRC 28. I use the Emergencee in between treatment of the others as necessary. Emergencee can be used as often as needed without the the worry of over use. The power strengtheners cannot.

Do you use it?
Yes, Ma'am!!
Have you ever used it???
Yep!
Do you have to use it every 6 weeks???
No, I use it the week after I relax.

I don't recommend aphogee unless you hair is breaking very badly/can tolerate protein! I do recommend Emergencee though. It is not so concentrated and it can be used as often as every two weeks. It is the best protein in my opinion.
PS: I am going to bump up a thread that I started a while ago on this. I think this will be very helpful for you.

the last time my hair was really damaged, i used aphogee. the next day i used emergencee because aphogee didnt get the job done all the way. i followed the damaged hair treatment i found on this site. i only did the first two days of it though.

The instructions sound like a lot of protein but I don't really know. Maybe Sistaslick could hepl you with this one.

Do you use it? Yes
Have you ever used it??? Yep, I love it
Do you have to use it every 6 weeks??? No, I don't think I need it that often. I use it when I need it. I'll probably be using it this weekend because I got highlights. I'm going to up my overall protein and moisture just in case.

Do you use it?
Have you ever used it??? Yes. I have been using it religiously for the past 2 years now.
Do you have to use it every 6 weeks???I do, but I don't think you have to. Most people use it as needed.
If you dont use Aphogee is there another BIG Protien that you use/recommend for strengthening hair??? Aphogee is the only BIG protein that I have used. I am curious about Emergencee and Sebastian's Penetraitt though.

@OnceUponAtime: I LOVE that idea!!!! Sounds like getting the best of both worlds!
@MizaniMami: I never knew Emergencee can be used once every 2 weeks! That's great! (Not that I'll be doing that, but it's really good to know for future purposes)
