Read the directions first please - its Good Stuff
Reviewer: Taylor from Arizona   2009-07-24

I work at a Sally Beauty Supply store where we sell this product. I have heard all the complaints that the people only giving it 1 star say: it smells bad, my hair is breaking still , it didn't detangle my hair , but usually when I dig a little bit deeper they used it wrong. There are very specific directions , and they should be followed. 1)only use it if you have damaged hair that is in need of protein , it wont fix dry hair problems , its not a moisturizer. 2)Always use a moisturizing conditioner after it - protien is good for the hair in small doses and it should always be followed with a moisturizer to make the hair more flexible. 3)Dont aggitate the hair while drying - it will get hard and it will break off. But you need the heat - heat opens the cuticle and allows it to penetrate better. 4)Please dont use it on a regular basis , once every 6 weeks or so ... any potent protein treatment like this can only be done every now and then without risking more breakage. 5) yes it smells bad ..very very bad . it kinda lingers around for a while, but having really nice hair is worth a few hours of smelling bad. I have used this product for years , even my mom used it while I was growing up and she swears by it. We both have lots of hair , slightly coarse , wavy and long. Even though I dont chemically process my hair - the curling and straightening irons have done thier damage and I believe this product keeps my hair looking awesome.

It does work
Reviewer: Melanie from Miami   2009-07-12

I've used it twice already (once a month) and I do like the way my hair feels afterwards. I follow the instructions VERBATIM which I think is the key in getting the results you desire. This product IS NOT to be used after every shampoo. It's smell is very strong and can burn the eyes so be careful. After using the TWO-STEP, you must apply the BALANCING MOISTURIZER immediately afterwards. I have noticed more elasticity in my hair, less hair in the comb during normal styling. My hair looks and feels healthier. Probably one of the best STORE BOUGHT hair products i've invested in.

WOWZ!!!!
Reviewer: Angie from Orlando, FL   2009-06-24

First off this product is amazing! My last relaxer was almost 5 months ago so I had some new growth and it was very puffy and course. I was having doubts to use the product since I didn't want to tangle my hair even further. I had experience with many different hair products & hair growth products in order to try and get my hair to be healthy...since watching Ateya on youtube describe her hair regimen & instructions on how to use aphogee protein products I gave it a try. Although it was kinda expensive because I bought nearly the whole line of Aphogee, for using it the first time it was worth it. Even though I still need to experiment on this product a little further, I am sure I won't be disappointed. The only con to me was when after I washed the treatment out and added the pro vitamin leave-in , Tea tree reconstructor and a dime size of CHI silk infusion it made my hair feel heevy whne I blow dried it, also my hair felt weird as if I put to much products in, so I washed it out again, left some Nexxus Humectruss cond. (LOVE THAT STUFF) for 15mins, wash it out, only sprayed some Keratin Tea tree reconstructor & dime size amount of Chi, combed it, blow dried and flat ironed, It came out looking soooo soft and silky. I wasn't expecting much and thought it would be another product to the garbage but it came out better than I expeted for not having a relaxer in recently. If you have dried, dull hair w/ lots of breakage and split ends, buy this treatment, its worth it! Just remember though READ INSTRUCTIONS on the BOTTLE CAREFULLY, this treatment is very strong and is to only be taken and DO NOT forget to buy MOISTURIZING BALANCER this is what gives your hair moisture again.

Not good for all hair types!
Reviewer: Myka Lee from Brooklyn, NY   2009-06-24

This product is not for me, it dried my hair and caused major breakage. NEVER AGAIN!!!!

good, but the SMELL....
Reviewer: julie h. from new orleans, LA   2009-06-17

I used this product as directed on my very fine, thin, shoulder-length color-treated hair but just let it air dry, no heat applied. I got good results, but I just can't get past the STENCH. Used 2 deep conditioners immediately after 1st rinse, but to no avail. I caught the whiff of this stuff for days later...and I tried to stay downwind of friends and possible love interests. Think I'll stick with the Redken salon Shot Phix treatment. Yeah, it's pricier, but the trade-off is not having the smell of my own hair make me gag for a week. And I actually got a better conditioning result.
