$13.50 for the kit at Target. It appears to have a gel like consistency like Nexxus Emergencee. I can't wait for someone to post the ingredients.I like the fact that it's in a smaller bottle. I bought the 2-step aphogee, like 5yrs ago and I still almost have a full bottle. I hope this is cheaper
I don't think it's as potent. In that link , it says, the effects last up to three weeks. The original lasts up to six weeks.I might give this another shot. ....i wonder if this is stronger being its smaller...

I e-mailed Aphogee asking if this new product would replace the Two-Step (just to double check )...here's their response:This is from the Aphogee Q&A page, so it sounds like the new strengthening treatment will not be replacing the 2 step treatment (whew!)

I literally cried years of joy at this news. The two step treatment is my ultimate staple.I e-mailed Aphogee asking if this new product would replace the Two-Step (just to double check )...here's their response:
"No. The Two-Step Protein Treatment is here to stay. It is our most popular product and the most effective and most protein loaded product on the market.
The Hair Strengthening Kit is a similar product but is easier to use for people not as skilled with working with processes. The Hair Strengthening Kit does not require a hooded dryer and it is a little easier to apply and work with. It is very effective for hair damage, but it lasts about two weeks as opposed to the Two-Step Protein Treatment that lasts for approximately six weeks."
The ladies on the end look black to me. Just really fair skinnedI see the black women who supported this brand aren't 'worthy' to be on the product packaging.

I went to target and took a picture of the ingredients list (see attached). As you know now, I'm a HUGEEE fan of the original Two Step Treatment (well, step 1), but after seeing the ingredients for the new Strengthening Treatment I put it back on the shelf.
The ingredients look awfully similar to Nexxus Polymedic Emergency reconstructor, which costs less than $20 (on amazon) for a 16.9oz bottle vs the new aphogee product 3.3oz for $14.99
I'm not knocking Aphogee's new product but I'd like to hear product reviews from you ladies before trying it. If it's just a dupe for Nexxus Emergency....I'll stick with Nexxus
Please share your experiences if you try it! thanks.
I have both products. I've only done the 2-step and I must say, I LOVE IT. It completely stopped my breakage. However, I've run into a problem now.... I went swimming not too long ago and I used a Clarifying Shampoo after... I shampoo'd twice. My hair had started breaking again and then I deep conditioned, so it stopped. But, TODAY, I realized breaking again... I now think it has something to do with me clarifying. It may have stripped the Protein from my hair... But, I just did the 2-step two weeks ago, should I use the Strengthening Kit instead of the 2-step tonight?
Ugh, i was hoping they would change the formula. 2 step is such a pain in the arse to use. It runs everwhere and as my hair has gotten longer it no longer fully dries underneath the dryer anymore. I wish they would make it more creamy.
