I have been getting an aphogee for over a year every six weeks ( sometimes 7 ) and my hair is unbelieveable now!! I had severe damage due to gluing fake ;hair in for years and years. I had damage to the scalp as well as the existing hair. I cut my hair really short and started the aphogees along with a mild perm. My air is now really soft and shiny and manageable. I highly recommend this product.
worth my time

this product really does its job. about 5 months ago my hair broke off because i was coloring it too much and relaxing it because my hair is not natural. so i decided to braid my hair for about 4 month and not relalx it. after i got my relaxer i decided to get a new shampoo and conditioner that would help my hair get strong again. now i think that is it best to stay with one brand, so i decided to try aphogee products after reviewing everyones results from this site. i bought the whole line of aphogee products. i waited a week after relaxing my hair to try the treatment. first i shampooed my hair with the shampoo for damaged hair. i shampooed it only once because i did not want my hair to lose some of its natural oils plus i had other steps to follow. after that i towel dried my hair and applied the protein treatment for damaged hair. i applied in sections starting with my ends first then the roots. it took about 10-15 min to apply. this product is very messsy but worth it at the end. i then sat under my hooded dryer for about 60 minutes. i let the product get my hair as hard as it could and then i got in the shower. i usually take about 15-20 minutes in the shower. when you rinse this product out, you have to really really rinse it well. the whole time i was in the shower i made sure that my head was atleat under the water. i massaged it every 5 minutes really well and just kept on rinseing. after that i applied the aphogee balancing moisturizer. VERY VERY IMPORTANT. DO NOT FORGET THE BALANCING CREAM. your hair needs the balance. this helps make it very soft, tangle free and shine. i massaged it for about 1 minute and covered it with a cap for about 3min. i rinse it out and then sprayed my hair with the aphogee eratin & Green Tea Restructurizer. and i added some pink oil moisturizer to my hair and wrapped it. after it wrapped it i sat under the dryer for it to dry. my hair came out so healthe and strong. even if you dont get the same result as me, your hair will definately have body and strenth. my edges were thin and now they are strong and i now see about 3 hair strands that shed. before i had about 15-20 pieces when styling my hair

This stuff works great! I have dyed my hair, permed it and done so much to it to damage it! One day at work I was scratching my scalp and pulling the ends to see if it was breaking, and hair started coming out as I pulled the ends! I was devestated! Then I went to a store and used Aphogee, the second time of use my hair completly stopped breaking! Then after the fourth time, it was thick and healthy, my boyfriend commented on it too! Its great! It even made my hair grow faster due to it not breaking off at the ends! Also, I did not have to go to get my ends trimmed as often because I had no split ends, and my trim lasted longer because of this!!! :)
I am amazed!

Wow! This stuff is awesome. I am African American, and my hair was shedding bad. I would sit at work and run my hands to the ends of my hair and it would just come out! It was a nightmare! So, I used this product. And it worked! My hair stopped breaking! It is growing! On top of that it seems to have made it thicker and I have so much body! Its bomb! I dont trust a lot of things on the market, but this is great! After the second time using it my hair stopped coming out!
LOVE IT!!

Yea, so like I tried it and I really like the results. At first I was like "okay this product will maybe make it look good and shiny" but I was very pleased at the result and I do plan on using this again and again. For those who may have had a bad experience I don't think they followed the most important step and thats conditioning and moisturizing their hair afterwards. Very Important!!!!! Especially if this product is on ethnic hair. Oh and the smell is awful, but I can definitely deal with that.
Worth it!

After reading the reviews I was skeptical about trying Aphogee Treatment for Damaged hair. I had just gone from bleach blonde to brunette and my hair was suffering and frizzy so I tried it out. The treatment did not smell at all but it was VERY runny and sticky. After I rinsed out the treatment I applied the conditioner, waited, rinsed and dried my hair, and then WOW!
Here are UNTOUCHED photos from my cell phone. I am very happy with the product!
great for missing edges!

I have tried everything to get my edges to grow back. I have hidden my sides by wearing wigs for the longest.A friend of mine told me about this product and after about 2 weeks after using this product my edges are starting to grow back in!

I love Aphogee. Yesterday was my first treatment and I have saw dramatic results already. I'm and 18 year old African American whose hair used to be thick and at the middle of my back. To make a long story short it has broken off a lot and is now shoulder length. I had severe breakage and was noticing handfuls of hair come out a day. My sister introduced me to this product and I'm glad she did. I used only the Aphogee Shampoo and the protein treatment although I have the whole line of products. Today I combed my hair and only 7 strands came out. This is great compared to handfuls. This product is only for SEVERE BREAKAGE! DO NOT USE if you have healthy hair because it's too strong.
It Works!

I wear my hair natural in either 2 strand twist-outs or an afro and I was suffering from breakage daily. I read all the reviews on this product and decided to give it a try. So glad I did. The 2-Step treatment stopped my breakage and my hair appears thicker. The smell is not that unbearable and the results are worth it in the long run.
The morning after

It's the morning after my treatment and it was GREAT! I used the product with the ApHogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor and the Balancing Moisturizer as follows:
Let me start off by saying I have afro-relaxed (5 weeks in) and Brazilian Keratin Treated (also 5 weeks in hair).
The bottle says use BEFORE relaxer, so I wanted to get it done asap
1) Wash hair with a SLS free shampoo
2) Apply 2 Step Treatment, I used it in a spray bottle for better application
3) I don't have a dryer to sit under so I dried with my hand dryer until hard (approx 25 mins)
4) Rinse thoroughly (cannot be stressed enough)
5) Then I used the ApHogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor
for the 2 minutes like it says, with my hair under a plastic cap
6) Rinse, then I added the Balancing Moisturizer, I covered again and left it for 10 mins.
There was NO hair anywhere during or after my rinses! It was getting late so I blow-dried, I swept my bathroom before because I wanted to see the amount of hair on the ground after the treatment, there was none! I was so amazed, so happy, In fact my hair looks almost freshly relaxed although I think the Brazilian Treatment is coming into play there. I was worried that the combination of BKT and this would be too much protein, but I believe the 2 products I used after added enough moisture to my hair.
Also noting, that the smell wasn't as bad afterward like some reviews I read.
5 out of 5 for sure!
This product is very good!!

I am a mixed female with extremely curly somewhat kinky hair. My hair is also dyed . I have noticed my hair was breaking off due to the color being so light and my natural hair color being black. I do not have a perm or relaxer however the color is enough. After looking at the youtube video I decided to give it a try. A lot of people are complaining about the smell, however it really is not that bad at all I have used every hair product out there literally to try to find what works for me and I must say that once I completed this hair treatment there was not breakage!!! I combed my hair while wet meaning all my curls were in full force and still no breakage this product works. I just used it for the first time today so I will keepo you posted on the breakage for when I do this again in 6 weeks go out and spend the 20 bucks its way worth it!!!
Great - Fantastic hair!

I used it for the first time today and can't stop looking at my hair!
First of all, they are bouncing again! They are soft, but not too soft ( not this kinda lazy hair;-)) and they have this nice lift at the crown as well as fabulous shine, that I missed since forever.
My hair few years ago ( I'm 32) looked very good, very very shinny.
I was dying them in black for 10 years.
A month ago I decided that I lighten it up. I stripped the color with One N' Only ( nice effect), but I waned to have a nice reddish color, so...I bleached it...
And this was the mistake of my life. After that I colored 4 times within a week.
Horrible, stupid.
I bought ApHogge Treatment, Keratin and Green Tea Restructurizer and 3 min Keratin Reconstructor.
So far i have tried only the Treatment and the Ker-Green Tea, which is amazing!
I am a vegan girl, always was watching what I put into my mouth and on my face etc.
But I damaged my hair with such a chemical reactions that I needed something more than ..a honey..;-))
Can't wait to do it again in a 6 weeks , maybe 5.
As a moisturizer I used a mix of Aussie 3 minutes Miracle and Dumb Blonde by Bed Head.
Again - this is the best stuff ever!
BTW - I ordered it from this web site and it came 2 days after! Thank You!
Wish you best of Luck!

I used a concoction on my natural hair that I saw on youtube.com. It left me with rapid hair loss, bald spots and dry brittle hair. I tried everything until I remembered that I had the Aphogee product line {yes I am a product junkie}lol. I have only used it once, but the results are incredible. It stopped the breakage IMMEDIATELY, softened my hair and gave me the moisture that I need to get my hair back on track. From now on I will use ONLY APHOGEE products on my hair. I've thrown away all the other products. I've found my hair care line for life.
Read the directions first please - its Good Stuff

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

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!!!!

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!

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.
Black to blonde - life saver

I have dyed my hair every six weeks for 7 years - so my hair was in pretty bad shape to begin with.... then I decided to bleach my hair to platinum blonde from black. I couldn't even brush my hair without clumps falling out. My hair was so bad that it looked wavy and even curled when naturally my hair is poker straight. I followed the exact instructions of this product and it drastically improved my hair after 1 use. Now - 9 months later and after multiple uses my hair feels and looks amazing. If this product costed me 50 - 100 bucks per use I would pay that. Yes it smells bad (I gagged) but it is worth any amount of money.
Huge difference in hair after first use.

I just completed the treatment. I am African American with relaxed hair. My hair has been breaking off in huge chunks due to poor diet and just plain neglect. After removing the product and applying a deep conditioning treatment and blow drying I can see a huge difference. I had a little breakage but not the mass quantity of breakage that I am used to seeing in the sink and on the floor. My hair is much thicker as well. It is really soft which came as quite a surprise to me. I agree with the other posts - you have to follow directions. I don't have a dryer to sit under so I used my blow dryer to harden the product. My arms are killing me but I really wanted to get this right because I am tired of all the breakage. I am so pleased with the results I will purchase a dryer that I can sit under - the product is worth it.
