this is one product that I follow to a T. I would love to hear how other ladies are using it. I'm to scared to do anything else with it.

Hey JLove...you use the poo and moisturising treatment afterwards?
Is this the one that makes your hair go hard? I wont be messing with it either then lol
Im hoping to relax next weekend and I plan on doing it all myself so I figure this will come in handy...

ladies??
thanks

yep, but the only thing that made my hair hard was the actual treatment. the poo and condish were ok.

You poo first then use the treatment per instructions then condition. I just bought this pack but havent tried it yet. Some ladies were reporting that it reverts the relaxer if you do it directly after so you may want to wait a week or so before doing it.

Thanks
I was hoping to use it before as I read some where it should be used up to 36 hours before a chemical treatment...( I think!!)

ETA: to change time...
Q: Can it be used with perms or color?

A: Absolutely! When using ApHogee in conjunction with any chemical process, we recommend using the Treatment a 24-36 hours before the service. Be sure to follow directions. In fact, ApHOGEE Treatment is used on fine, weak hair and very porous hair to make perms and color last longer!

That's great! I'll keep that in mind for my next touch-up

I tend to do a treatment about a week before i get a touch up. I clarify, put the treatment on (i use a lot) and sit under a dryer until it's hard. Don't manipulate hair while it's hard. get under the shower and hair starts to loosen up. once all the treatment is rinsed out i use any DC that i have- usually keracare humecto and DC with heat as long as i want. i sometimes use porosity control con, rinse out before i DC with heat.

it make my hair feel thicker and stronger. only downside is that it's messy, drippy and sticky. Kinikakes has some instructions in her fotki too, i think.

Now that my hair is healthy, I don't do the two-step application anymore. What I do now is add a capful or two of this stinky stuff to a creamy conditioner, either protein or moisturizing, and apply to my hair. I still DC afterwards, in fact, I always DC after every wash.

I do this protein treatment as a pre-poo, then wash, then DC. I don't use a lot of 'cones, so my hair is receptive to pre-poo treatments.

I have never used the hard kind, but with like the 2 min reconst. you can use right after the relaxer. And that one wont revert the hair. I am scared to use the hard kind cause I am scared I will mess my hair up.

 

[MrsBKJ]

Thanks for the responses ladies, my hair doesnt really need it and I was just eager to try out the sample so I shall see but I will make sure I use it exactly as described.
Frizzy...I might try out your method since I don't think my hair likes too much protein but I want to get my hair bone straight this time and will going over old hair too so it is my insurance plan.

Thanks very much ladies.
