Best cures for split ends

[FONT=verdana,arial]Although you cannot "get rid" of your split ends, many women prefer to find a way to deal with them without causing more damage to their hair or cutting. There are temporary cosmetic ways to seal your split ends to allow for more growth before grabbing the scissors. One thing people should realize is that split end do not stay split ends. If not taken care of the hair will continue to split and separate until eventually they split all the way up to roots of your hair. You will notice your hair is becoming thinner when split ends are left unattended. The single best way to cure split ends is to cut them. The technical term for split ends is "Trichoptilosis" the name says it all!
Hair is made up primarily of protein. Protein gives the hair its strength and resilience. The more protein your hair retains the less likely it is to split at the ends. There's WONDERFUL product on the market called, "Ahpogee". Aphogee is straight animal protein that mimic the protein found in hair. When used correctly Aphogee can fuse split ends and make your hair smooth from roots to ends. This is a great temporary fix if you just can't bring yourself to cut your ends right away. Aphogee is a very potent product and must, must, must be used correctly and according to directions on the bottle.
The way it works is that the product is in liquid form. The molecules in the product are very small. You shampoo your hair and towel blot well. I like to use a color bottle to apply the product to my hair. Apply the Aphogee to your hair and make certain you use enough of the product to coat the hair completely. Using a hair dryer that you can sit under (preferred) dry the product in your hair until it is fully dried. Your hair will be very, very hard to the touch - do not comb, brush, or manipulate the hair when it is in this state. Doing so will cause adverse results and may end up breaking the hair. A hand blow dryer may also be used to dry the product into your hair.
The molecules of the product is small enough to slip into the holes created by everyday styling and/or chemical damage. While drying the molecules expand to fill up these holes with protein and act like your hair's natural protein. When product has dried fully, rinse your hair very well with warm water. Towel blot your hair and apply a very moisturizing conditioner and place a plastic cap over your hair to allow the conditioner to penetrate. The Aphogee fills in holes, creates strength and temporarily seals split ends. The moisturizing conditioner softens your hair and makes it supple and pliable. Now you are ready to style your hair as you would normally do. Remember regardless of the products applied to the hair to hide split ends, the only true method to getting rid of them is to cut them off.

Just got mine cut for the second time this year, more cut off this time. Looking for as many ways as I can find to protect and care for them this time around...Definately less manipulation. I've used Aphogee and remember my hair feeling more moisturized and well conditioned after using, definately going to pick up a bottle soon

. Was not aware of how much it repairs hair, that's good info. Thanx.....Anna
 
I've not tried that one that makes your hair hard. I have tried the 2 min one and I really liked it. I finished wth that Keratin Green Tea mist and the results were PHENOM!!! I too, am not cutting all my split ends off. Just trying to keep them moisturized and dusted every coupla months.
 
I see I'ma have to stay off this website...... :cowgirl: to get some Aphogee from the BSS lol I'm buying too many products and my pockets are :mad: at me! thank you for the information it was very helpful but since I really need a protein strengthener that will help seal my ends, i think this product will be a good buy
 
This is good info. I was actually going to buy the 2 min. Reconstructor this weekend to try it out.
 
Thanks for the info. I never knew exactly what Aphogee was doing to my hair. I just knew that it was hard as heck and I would think:rolleyes: Why am I using this stuff.

The particular product is Aphogee 2-Step Treatment. There are several but this is the one that makes the hair hard like a helmet. I use it once a month. It will make the hair strands noticably thicker and darker. I also use a weekly protein conditioner which is milder but I always always follow up with a creme rinse and moisturizer.

BTW, this is NOT the 2-minute reconstructur. NO NO! And if you use the 2-step treatment do NOT comb your hair with this product in it. The bottle says to do so but I don't recommend it. What I do is saturate my hair by rubbing it in and squeeze my hair. This product starts to harden right away and if you comb it through you will receive a lot of breakage. I know! Then just sit under the dyrer for 20 minutes or until you hair is dry from roots to ends. Gently poke through your hair to the scalp with your finger to find the wet spots. Go back under for another 5-10 minutes when you find some. Good luck!

Also, make sure you have NO cuts on your hands because this stuff will BURN! When it gets on your skin it will be sticky and then dry on your skin tight. All that messiness is worth it and easily washes out. MAKE SURE YOU WASH OUT COMPLETELY! You should not still smell the product in your hair. If you still smell the product in your hair go back in the shower and rinse. AND MOISTURIZE, MOISTURIZE.

I was under the impression it was referring to the original Aphogee treatment for damaged hair which also makes the hair hard. It states on the bottle NOT to comb or agitate hair while using this product.
 
I suffer from split ends and I use aphoghee from time to time, I guess I should use it more often.
 
I've started to incorporate some aphogee products in my hair routine. I hope this might help my split ends but I still see them.
