Has anyone noticed a change in Aphogee 2 step treatment color, smell, reaction and consistency.

Aphogee 2 step and 2 minute are my favorite. I love ORS Replenishing for a very lightweight protein.

This is from their website about the change. I find it works the same.

Q: I just purchased a bottle of Two-Step Protein Treatment and the contents look different. Is it OK?

A: ApHogee Two-Step Treatment has always required thorough shaking for even performance. In order to make the formula more forgiving when shaking is neglected, we’ve upgraded one ingredient from cosmetic topharmaceutical grade. The resultant product stays in solution better and is more “clear, brown”, less “milky”. The results are the same and we still recommend shaking before use, just in case.

You forgot Okra Winfrey? Are you still using that?

And even though I haven't relaxed in a minute, I will still use my Affirm 5n1 Reconstructor as well.

Yes. It used to be a milky yellow color and watery but not too bad. The one I recently got from sally's was more of a clear yellow and wayyyy watery. I have found it still works the same. However this time when I got a little on my scalp it burned a bit.....

I forgot about that one because I ran out of it and hadn't purchased more. But yes, that's a good one.

I live for protein and have a protein heavy regimen. My absolute favorite is Nutress Treatment for Extremely Damaged Hair - it is $1.69 per pak at Sally's.

@curlicarib @Prettymetty @IDareT'sHair Is the Nexxus Emergencee in the gray bottle and it says "step 2" on it. I know they've changed the bottles and formulas over the years but this is the one I just bought and I just noticed that it looks like it's a part of a system and now I'm not sure if I got the right one. Is this the one you all use or are you using that other thing that comes in those little tubes in a box? TIA

 

[Prettymetty]

Mine came in a little 3oz bottle it says Polymedic Reconstructor or something of the sort

 

[curlicarib]

@KammyGirl This is the one I use:

http://www.amazon.com/Nexxus-Emerge...=1438206835&sr=8-11&keywords=Nexxus+emergence

Either RiteAid or WalGreens had it on sale earlier this year 1 pkg (4 tubes) for $10, so I loaded up. I bought 4 packages (16 tubes). I'm good into next year. I usually get 2 treatments out of one tube.

This is supposed to be a really hard protein treatment right?

I've never seen either of those. Think I bought the wrong thing.

This one looks part of a System to be used in conjunction with the other items in that particular system.

It appears to be the Reconstructor in that System.

Did you ask the folks at Ulta?

There seems to be only 2 things in the system even though the bottle shows 3. The shampoo and this. I actually got this from Walgreens and the Nexxus section had everything under the sun but no "3". I also saw what @curlicarib uses but it looked like a really hard protein. Now that I look again the ingredients look the same and my conditioner says concentrated protein so I'm thinking it will be very hard too. Ugh! Protein is so complicated. Why can't it be easy like moisturizing dc's?

 

[IDareT'sHair]

@KammyGirl

Make sure you bring things back in Balance after using with a Good Moisturizing DC'er.

 

[LdyKamz]

@IDareT'sHair Ok so I figured it out. Step 1 is the shampoo step 2 is what I have and step 3 is the reconstructive treatment. Sounds like a whole lot of protein.

 

[curlicarib]

Yes, this one is the hard protein and it has a gel consistency.
