5 Year Shea Anniversary: Started Dec 16th, 2016!
Yes, you read that right! I happened to come across a video on Youtube of a woman with hip length twists. She shakes Aphogee 2 step and creates a foam so it doesn't drip.
Well, I decided to take it a step farther and I whipped it using an automatic whisker. It was a resounding success.
Below is how Aphogee 2 Step Protein Treatment looked after being whisked for 2 to 5 minutes on high speed.
Here is the bottle that I used. It's that old standard, that many people know.
So here is the product texture. It's a runny, heavy, liquid texture that makes a mess when you put it in your hair. The product also has a 'distinct' odor. It gets every where and makes hair, fingers, clothes and bathrooms counters sticky.
It started to get creamy after 2 minutes. I mixed it for 5 minutes but after 3 minutes the consistency didn't change anymore. It looks like whipped shea butter!
Then I dipped my fingers into the bowl cautiously. The texture is somewhere between whipped shea butter and after shave foam from a can. I thought it would fall through my fingers and disintegrate. Surprisingly, Aphogee retained its firm shape from the time I dipped my fingers into until I plopped it on top of may hair.
I sniffed it and the 'distinct' smell the product usually has diminished considerably. The odor seemed almost faint and 'barely there'.
This is how it looked when I first plopped it on top of my hair.
This is how it looks dispersed throughout my head. I had to literally rub and squeeze it into my hair. That's a good thing! It was still somewhat firm even after I rubbed it into my hair. I used all that I made.
This is me under the dryer. No Aphogee has come running down my forehead. Usually, I have to wrap a cloth band around my hairline so this stuff doesn't run down my face. With the original product, I am constantly wiping my face to stop the running due to it continuing to liquify from the hair dryer heat. Inevitably, some of it ALWAYS got in my eye, but not this time!
Product worked great as usual. I changed the rheology (liquid to whipped foam) and the viscosity (thick to fluffy) with the electric whisker and the product worked just like it always did in the past. It made my hair stick out because it was rock hard and covered it with a crunchy, protein crust, 'per usual'.
This is my hair after it has been rinsed and deep conditioned. I detangled, put in my Infusium/Protein filler leave in, shea butter mix, oiled my ends with castor oil then re-braided my hair. My hair feels strong from root to tip. It's greasy and shiny!
You have to pour a significant amount of the 2 Step Protein liquid to have enough to whip with the automatic whisker. But, don't worry. If you made too much, set it aside because it returns back to the original liquid form- unharmed! Just put the un-used liquid back in the bottle.
This was the most comfortable and enjoyable application of the Aphogee 2 Step Protein Treatment ever! I have been using it for years. Whipped Aphogee is a Winner!
I got the idea from Naturally_Nica on YouTube. She shakes it up. I took it a step farther and whipped it up! Her hair is draw dropping beautiful. It's tail bone length!

I may try it again because of this information.
!!! I would've loved to see that.
I don't remember. It's funny now. It wasn't so funny then.
