ApHogee Intensive 2 Minute Keratin Reconstructor (16 OZ)

This hair protein treatment performs as expected and as advertised. If you wish to maintain healthy hair, particularly after a relaxer or chemical treatment, this is an excellent choice. It has a light, pleasant, and non-lingering scent. I personally use it every two weeks, or after my next wash following a relaxer, to maintain strength and minimize split ends. If your hair is damaged, the instructions recommend weekly use until it feels healthy. This product will reduce breakage and shedding, noticeably so after a few uses. As with any protein treatment, follow up with a moisturizing mask for at least five minutes to replenish moisture. Your hair will feel healthier, softer, and easier to detangle. This product will help maintain hair health and improve length retention. It is highly recommended for all hair types.

Highly recommend if your hair lacks protein. I use this 1x weekly and my hair nerve looks better. It’s NEVER to late to start taking care of your hair.

I love this product. Instant results. dds shine and manageability to my 4C hair. The ultimate conditioner that's not expensive

This very nice product

After my first use I can feel my hair being softer more healthy and shinyUsed on Bleached hair works great for my hair

I learned not to use too much when applying. A little goes a long way. When done right I noticed my hair is stronger and breakage is almost gone.

So I've been using this product for about a year now on and off and after using it today I thought it was time to write a review.I have thin hair, but a lot of it and it has a natural kink/curl to it. Taking a stab at guessing my curl type, I'd say it's 2b - so it's manageable but frizzes easily. I had been using it about twice a week or less until about June of this year because I found other products I thought would work better and I also felt that my hair wasn't curling as much as I would like. So I left my bottle of ApHogee in the shower to sit until today.When I'm not using the product, my hair when I blow dry it has a bunch of little hairs standing up (frizz) and is very poofy and curls slightly - even when blow drying with a flat brush. When using the product, my hair when I blow dry doesn't have the little hairs standing up, is a bit less poofy and sits straighter. it helps stay less frizzy/curly when it's humid outside too. Even when visiting Florida in April of this year I found my hair didn't frizz and curl as much in all of the humidity as it usually did.I found it was harder to curl my hair when I was using it (I don't know if anyone else experienced this) but found that my hair felt smoother and somewhat healthier.I'd say follow the directions and what some people have said in other reviews where you don't use the product more than what is recommended. The effects of the product last for a bit so you don't need to use it everyday. How I use it is I shampoo, rinse, put in the ApHogee for about 2-3 minutes, rinse, then conditioner for good measure (my hair is dry from styling - I know, I'm bad).Hope this helps! I'd recommend it.

Im on the fence about this one. I have thick curly hair with a section of my hair that is currently heat damaged - this is why I purchased this product. After using it, my hair felt dry and like straw, seriously hated how it felt. However, it looked so shiny (super weird and contradictory, I know) and it almost seemed like my curl pattern sorta kinda returned (very slightly) in the section with the most heat damage. SO, I will continue to use it, but only one a month and I will have to use a serious moisturizing conditioner after every use. It not good but also good, so go for it - just know that you will need to condition soon after.I have added a picture of my hair for any one that would like a reference, you can see that I have heat damage, but you can also see that there seems to be a curl forming. Also, my hair likes shiny and dry at the same time.
