ApHogee Intensive 2 Minute Keratin Reconstructor (16 OZ)

I have 3c/4a hair, been using this product for a couple years now. I've been natural for about 7 years but never did protein treatments, and then wondered why I kept getting so many split ends and breakage -___-. I used conditioning products all the time, but my hair wasn't retaining any type of moisturizer - even water took a few minutes to really get through my hair shafts! It was so bad. Once I figured out the importance of protein treatments, I knew I would need something quick that I can incorporate easily into my weekly washing routine, because I have neither the patience or the time to regularly do a whole separate protein treatment routine in addition to washing. I browsed all the protein treatment products at my local Sally's and decided to give this a shot first because it was the quickest to use lol. Well this product most certainly fit the bill! Not only do I have less problems with split ends, my hair retains moisture so much better and my corkscrew coils are so well defined after ^_^! I end up using less product for conditioning/moisturizing and my hair is overall more manageable. The moisture retention benefit sticks for two weeks without another treatment, but I do it weekly to keep up definition and reduce frizz. I noticed a couple reviews saying that this stuff made their hair stiff or break off, which was a little bothersome. This is a PROTEIN treatment product, not a conditioner, not a shampoo. It is not designed to take the place of either of these, and it will make your hair stiff - that's what protein does. If you don't moisturize/condition your hair after using this, your hair will be dry and more prone to breakage than usual. So use the product as instructed and hydrate and condition your hair immediately after! I love this stuff, it's done wonders for the manageability and texture of my hair. I It's affordable, easy to use, and I recommend it to anyone with type 4 hair.

Nice protein conditioner. Leaves hair nice and moisturized.

This keratin reconstructor is amazing! Fast shipping from the seller, five dollar star seller! I left it on my hair two or three minutes and my hair felt softer and less frizzy and very smooth. I love the scent. It’s a good value for the money and I appreciate this product.

The bottles were opened during delivery. But its a good product i stand by

Really good treatment for stressed or damaged hair

My curls were feeling extremely limp and mushy, which is out of character for my hair. Google said this is a sign of over-moisturizing, and recommended a protein treatment. I bought this brand on a whim and was not disappointed. One quick treatment on wash day, and my curls have body again. I'm thrilled it was this easy.

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.

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.

Super produit ! Mes cheveux étaient très abîmés, secs et cassants (après chimio) et j’ai vu une vraie amélioration rapidement (pose 5min) : Plus de tenue, moins de casse et cheveux plus forts. Point important tout de même à souligner, ne l'utiliser qu'une fois/semaine pour éviter l'effet inverse. Facile et rapide à utiliser, très efficace si on ajoute un soin hydratant après. Ce n’est pas juste un effet cosmétique : On sent que le cheveu est réellement renforcé. Je recommande à 100 % pour cheveux très abîmés ou fragilisés. Excellent rapport qualité/prix. Une pépite !

This protein deep conditioner was just what my type 4 hair needed. Made a big difference to my hair. Was breaking and shedding and seemed quite weak but after conditioning, my hair felt stronger and even soft. I didn’t even have to follow with a moisturizing deep conditioner. Found a new favorite!!!
