My review of Crede ID Care Keratin Collagen PPT (NOT the Ebay babyface collagen):
Yes! I used it last Thursday and, again, today. I did a moisture DC on dry hair for ~20 min, then air dried my hair. When it was ~90% dry ( I couldn't wait) I sectioned my hair and lightly applied the Crede ppt. It's a runny liquid but it has a pump dispenser that makes it some out foamy. I had mentioned the solution smelled like soy sauce a bit, but today I realized the smell was actually kinda "fishy"erplexed .As I applied with my finger and the combed to distribute my then frizzy/crispy relaxed hair became really smooth and supple, slightly oily. This was unexpected from a hardcore protein treatment. As I applied to other sections, the previous sections were quickly drying. The instructions say at this point you should used heat (low temp iron of hair dryer) to set the protein. I used my babyliss nano flat iron on the lowest setting (310º--I wished it had a lower setting). With the first pass the hair hardened a bit but by the second pass it was really soft. Oh, and the funny smell was gone!
The silk heat protectant was more of a "meh" experience, but then again I generally dislike heat protectant cause they make my thin hair feel coated. I used it only once. To be fair, I like the fact that it's creamy and moist feeling, not "silicony" but I'll have to try it again to give it a fair review.
The ppt is definitely a keeper! All the benefit of Aphogee 2 step without the mess. And I feel you end up with more protein on your hair cause you don't rinse it off. I read on some forum some stylist saying you keep this stuff on for 20 minutes then rinse it off. My intructions didn't mention rinsing at all. And my hair felt soft the way i did it.
It's too soon to tell if this will save me from all the breaking I've been experiencing. My hair is so thin right nowbut I have high hopes. So far so good.
Oh, I should mention, the one thing I don't like much is the price: $32 for 8 oz. But I figure I'll get at least 10-12 treatments (neck length hair) which retail for $60-90 in salons (usually used to treat hair damaged by Japanese straighteners).
BTW, I feel ebay babyface collagen is kind of a rip off. She doesn't want to tell the ingredients because it's nothing more than collagen (which is cheap) maybe some keratin (cheap too) and a preservative. Not worth it, IMO.
