There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
I always color my just-below-shoulder length hair at home, including several rounds with high volume weapons-grade bleach on top of years of box dye. I was doing pastel pinky apricot mermaid hair. Unless you are starting with untouched light color virgin hair, this process is going to cause a lot of damage. I don't believe my hair was quite as fried as some of the other reviewers'. It was not "gummy" when wet, but it was extremely dry and frizzy, even after multiple deep conditioners and oil products. And it would not hold a curl as well as it used to, which was rather distressing.
I blocked out a few hours to apply this treatment. The instructions are not quite clear, but you wash your hair first (out of the shower, unless you like sitting around in a towel) and then apply the liquidy protein to towel-dried hair. Comb through and gently comb your hair back, off your face, and lay it on an old towel if it's long. Do not cover with a shower cap or plastic like you would a deep conditioner. You can use a warm hair dryer to accelerate the treatment, but DO NOT move your hair around, just let it sit there. The liquid dries very stiff (heh, yes, protein indeed) and can cause breakage if not handled very carefully. I ran my dryer for around five minutes and sat on the sofa for around 15-20 minutes more.
Note: yes, the protein liquid literally smells like vomit. And your hair will probably have a lingering slight scent. It's worth it! Keep going!
Next, rinse gently and apply the included moisturizer/conditioner. This is just like a normal hair conditioner. I left mine on for a few minutes while I finished my shower. Then I applied my usual products to towel dried hair (Redken Anti Snap, It's A 10 Original, and Shu Uemura Oil Creme) and crossed my fingers while it air-dried.
The difference is remarkable. My hair is in better shape than it has been for a long time. The frizz and awful dry texture is gone, my gentle waves are back. I have not yet blow dried or heat styled, but I'm sure it will look even better afterwards. The cost for this kit is so low, you almost can't go wrong. Or try it from your local Sally, if you're still skeptical, they have a good return policy. If you have medium length hair, I'd say this set will give you two full treatments and extra conditioner.
TL;DR: buy this set, it gave me great, silky results on bleach damaged hair. Smells like vom but 100% worth it.
This product, in general, is for damaged hair. I have hair that is undergoing a lengthy, drawn out bleaching process after having dyed it dark brown for over 20 years. That means damaged, porous hair. The protein treatment is great for that. Because so many people said you have to use the conditioning treatment it comes with in order to get the proper results, I followed that advice the first time. In general it does make sense to follow a product line's follow up treatment to get the best results. The only issue with that in this case is that mineral oil is actually the highest concentration of the oils in the ingredients of the balancing conditioner (which is not listed on the ingredients here, but is on the product label, others have provided pics to show that, or you can view the complete list of ingredients on the ApHogee website).
Mineral oil is good for when you want to seal the cuticle and prevent moisture from entering and/or exiting the cuticle. It sits on the cuticle. This is great for fighting frizz and making those curls look nice. However, hair as porous as mine (years of dye, now bleach blonde) really needs a good, penetrating moisturizer before putting on anything that has mineral oil.
The first time, I did not care for it. My hair felt stiff and dry (I followed the instructions to a tee), but I knew what the issue was, so I waited until the next time then used an intensive moisturizing mask that had no mineral oil in it immediately after rinsing out the protein treatment, then went over that with the ApHogee balancing moisturizer. This made all the difference in the world for my hair type. I would very highly recommend anyone who uses this product to find out what your hair porosity is (you can look up how-to videos on YouTube) to determine what would be best for your own hair type. If you use a more intensive moisturizing mask (that has no mineral oil), I would still follow up with the balancing moisturizer just to go ahead and seal the cuticle. Then you have added moisture to the hair, sealed it in, and have a coating which will prevent moisture loss and prevent frizz. I almost gave this 4 stars because mineral oil was not listed on the ingredients, however, the protein treatment deserves 5 stars. The mineral oil deserves a bit of explanation/education.
I was worried about the smell from the reviews, but honestly it's not that bad. This is a chemical treatment, and chemical treatments like this do have a bit of an odor. It's just the way it is. If you have kids or pets, you have definitely smelled much worse.

Previous applied (expensive) hair products did little to help.
This is amazing- it actually immediately improves both the feel and look of my hair.
And it’s not that difficult to use at home.
I shampoo, towel dry, apply protein product, blow dry carefully (without moving my hair too much), rinse product, condition and style.
Best product I’ve used in years.
