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.

I’ve used this three times on my hair now, I have keratin treated hair and my keratin treatment is wearing off haven’t been able to get it redone because of corona virus. The reconstructor is Sulfate free paraben free and sodium chloride free. So it is keratin Treated hair approved. After applying I did notice my hair feel stringer and thicker as well as shiner however it made my hair more curly then before so it will enhance your natural texture. I prefer my hair straight but this treatment is good for repairing any damage. As for the time left in I notice that it works well on 5mins-10 mins in hair. Be sure to wash your hair with a sulfate shampoo before applying so you can open the hair cuticle and absorb the product better. Overall I like this product, my hair feels like it really does absorb the protein, definetly a gentle protein treatment but be sure to deep condition after since the protein doesn’t moisturize that well. Overall, this product is good for rebuilding proteins into the hair and providing strength for hair.

Great product 10/10

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.

I have African American hair so that you have a idea of how it works with certain hair types. First of all, the product does have a pleasant light coconut smell. I do not recommend you using it as deep conditioner- unless you want a deeper protein treatment. I would recommend you use it for just 2 minutes, especially if you are protein sensitive. I found my hair to be dry if I used it any longer. It has helped made my hair stronger- but I would not over do it. In the end I do recomend it as a great product to rotate with when you feel your hair needs some strengthening but don't have time to do a full on protein treatment or you don't need a strong protein treatment.

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.

I use this to prevent hair shedding. It works for me.

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!!!
