It is a peptide treatment which is supposed to be a permanent repair of the inner structure of the hair. It is supposed to fix and prevent damage from chemical processes. Regular protein and olaplex type treatments are supposed to be temporary. This is supposed to be permanent.
Just read up on it! Sounds interesting! I’d try it.
I color my hair so I need the extra strengthening. I've tried hard proteins and Olaplex and didn't have much success with them. As my hair gets longer just need to retain as much as I can. I like it so far but it is too early to really know how much it is helping my retention. I do feel like it has helped to keep my hair more hydrated.
Yes it is pricey. I think after the initial application process each tube should last close to a year when applied as directed. But I think it is only worth it for damaged hair and if a person really things they need it. I've lost my hair twice, not from coloring but from heat, so I'm willing to pay the price to keep my hair on my head this time aroundBe prepared for the price and the teeny tube

But I agree. It is too pricey just to buy it just to try it.
) Also, I've been seeing things in here about Olaplex. I tried to look into it. I think I may try it. Olaplex 3... I think I will get it.
My ends? No. I just believe in regular trimming. I keep my hair in protective styles 100% of the time.
-- which may not be what I feel is enough to ensure my hair stays healthy. So, i'd rather take the slower and cautious route. 'Better to be safe than sorry' ideology. My bottom layers should be APL by now, for instance. I just cut them back from collarbone length that I did in December to shoulder length--- letting the top layers catch up some (they are chin length currently).
Your trimming with a plan based upon analysis, with a specific objective in mind. That’s a great way to do it!My ends? No. I just believe in regular trimming. I keep my hair in protective styles 100% of the time.
But (unpopular opinion), I'm not of the belief that just because it's in protective styles, the ends won't need maintenance. (not knocking those that do)
Actually, when I grew my hair to WL, I was on a 12 wk/3 month trimming/dusting schedule. Re-growing my hair now, I pushed it to 4 months to see more growth quicker, but now I'm wondering if I should just stick to my old 3 month rule.
My ends aren't damaged. My stylist (who does my protective styles) and her colleagues always comment on how super healthy my hair looks and thick and asking who does my trims (I'm too afraid to say it's just me LOL).
I just like to 'stay ahead' of the splits and trim objectively and thoroughly. That's hard to do when your emotions are involved and you're eager to get back the hair you once had. So, I sometimes trim/dust twice in a row because I feel I can only stomach to take off but so much each time
Basically, I'm paranoid of trimming inadequately and suffering setbacks later because of it. I never want to be back here again.
Those lovely curls are popping!

It's just that you guys write your dates differently.
Thank you!
This is a win. Congratulations!
Are you sure there was breakage? After a month at 50-100 hairs per day, there would be a LOT of shed hair and your hair is really long, so the ball would be big.
I do think there was some breakage. I am hoping that the bulk of this was shedded hair. Thank you for the encouragement!
Actually, I haven't combed my hair probably in about 6 months. I use the no comb method. But, this method HAS to be used in conjunction with Shea butter. So, that's about six months of losing hairs and not combing!
I went through my butter. Then, I was so busy working long days I didn’t get around to making a batch of my beloved Queen Shea. I’ll make it tomorrow turned into me not making another batch for 3 weeks! Lesson learned.
Wow…never heard of this…will check it out..the inkeylist has a repair bond as well.
