Information from Aphogee

[daviine]

Hey guys --in light of the recent discussions we've been having regarding who still deep conditions and what actually makes a deep conditioner deep------I thought I'd share this informationn that I found on the Aphogee website.

http://www.aphogee.com/ask.html

I found the info on different types of conditioners interesting.

I hope this info hasn't been shared yet.

You're referring to this section?

Q: I already use a conditioner at home, why do I need ApHOGEE Treatment for Damaged Hair?

A: Most conditioners do a good job at what they were designed for:

Rinse type products de-tangle, add some shine and reduce static. They work on the hair surface.

Moisturizers penetrate and add humectants which regulate hair's moisture balance.

So called "intensive" products may contain protein, which can act as filler in damaged areas.

While these all help, for the most part, they rinse-out in the next shampoo and must be re-applied. ApHOGEE Treatment is different in that it is much more concentrated, fuses into the hair with heat and must be done in the salon. You only need a treatment every six weeks because it does not wash out.

Good Morning Allandra!

Yes --that is the section I am referring to.

Hmmmm, very interesting. I've never tried Aphogee but I'm extremely tempted. Thanks Daviine!

 

[pebbles]

Thanks for the link Daviine.

thanks, this should enourage me to do more deep conditioning treatments.

Thanks for that info.

Say I noticed that it said it can ONLY be done in a salon by a professional, does that mean there are two kinds?

 

[Allandra]

Minday,

They consider it a professional product. Plenty of people do it at home themselves.

That is what I was wondering. It seems as though alot of people do it at home, but on the site they say it should be done at a salon. Is this product sold in the regular beauty supply because I think it is worth a try. So many people have had good things to say about it.

 

[dontspeakdefeat]

Very interesting information. Thanks.

 

[Allandra]

Yes, this product is sold in the regular beauty supply stores.

 

[diamond_nh]

Thanks! I guess the whole professional thing is like what they say about relaxers. I'll be careful, lol.

 

[Allandra]

Yeah, just be careful if you decide to give it a try.

Aphogee is excellent.

 

[UmSumayyah]

Yeah, you definitely need to be careful because when they say that your hair will be hard, they are NOT kidding. I have done two at home myself, and I solve the manipulation problem by sitting under the dryer with just a towel on my torso. Then, when it is dried into my hair I jump into the shower.
I think I am going to have to get a handheld dryer so that I can dry the treatment into my ends as my hair gets longer.
How do you shoulder-length-and-longer girls do your Aphogee treatments?

 

[KinksnCurlz]

Basically, the same way as you Umsumayyah but I pour it on my hair while in the shower. Once it's applied from roots to tips, clip my hair up with a roller clip (basically, taking the tips of my hair and turning it upwards slightly so it doesn't hang and drip all over the place), a towel or some papertowels around my neck and sit under a dome dryer. Once it's hard, I jump back in the shower and let the water rinse the treatment out without once touching my hair. Once I am sure the treatment is gone, I follow that with the balancer and my deep conditioning treatment and again, under the dryer for another 10-20 mins.
