...other than the usual Aphogee 2 Min?

I noticed that I always focus on buying moisture deep conditioners; I want to incorporate more reconstructor/repair conditioners from now on. Which ones have you found to be effective? Has anyone tried the Shescentit Okra reconstructor? I have tried Komaza Care already as well.

SheScentIt Okra is a good one. I like how my hair felt strong, yet soft.
APB has a Keratin one that is supposed to be good.
My hair is finicky. It responds okay to reconstructors but even better to hardcore protein.
 
Thanks everyone'l. You all have given me some great choices to look out for.

I used the Revitaluxe early last year and I'm scared to try it again. It could have been totally coincidental because I was in the midst of a setback due to heat damage but the Revitaluxe seemed to make things worse or at least it did not help. I also read some horror stories about it online.
Just wanted to share that.

Long before I knew of the forum I read in a hair magazine that you should alternate moisture and protein each wash. So armed went that information I went to Sally's and purchased the Ion treatments for moisture and protein. I still have both in my stash to this day and I am huge product junkie. The name is Ion Repair Solutions Reconstructor.

That's what I'm doing now, a hard core protein one week, and a deep condition and clay mask session the next.
I'm liking it so far... (1 month in)

Did you follow with a moisturizing DC? I think the Revitaluxe is underrated because Joico marketed it as a treatment that provides both softness and strength.

In my opinion, the Revitaluxe is a strengthening treatment (i.e protein intensive). I need to follow with at least a moisturizing rinse out conditioner like the Joico Moisture Recovery, then the result is silky, strong hair with lots of body.

Agreed @nymane
 
Last night, I revisited a bottle of my Komaza Care Protein treatment (I forgot I had it). Hunty, that Komaza Care asked me why I was looking elsewhere? :bat:It made my hair feel so strong. I forgot how good it was.
Still, I want to find an on the ground dupe (or better). I will give Joico a try.

Yes I did... I'm guessing my hair was just in a crap state lol and I can't blame the product.
But I think my hair just didn't like it as much as the K Pak Intense Hydrator which is a staple of mine.
And my opinion is tainted on the Revitaluxe because I read horror stories about people's hair falling out from it. Someone even said she was starting a class action suit :spinning:.
 
I thought that Revitaluxe is supposed to be the perfect balance of a Moisture and protein treatment? I never needed to use a moisture conditioner afterwards as my hair was very soft.

HTN Amino Protein is awesome and co-signing on the Keracare treatment.

Interesting - that's certainly what Joico marketed as (i.e. perfect balance of moisture/protein). For me, I have to follow with a rinse out conditioner and let it sit for 3-5mins.

My hair is so greedy; after protein, it must have moisture too...sheesh
