I got really brave and permed the hair I've been taking such anal care of. I did it myself--the best perms I've had, have always been ones I do myself because i know how I like it! I used ApHOGEE Treatment for damaged hair on it. You put it on inbetween the perm crap and the neutalizer on the rods and dry it with a hair dryer. it takes a long time to dry it--i hate sitting under the dryer! You then wet it with the neutalizer, take the rods out, working the neutalizer through like normal, then after I rinsed i used the balancing moisterizer (ApHOGEE). My hair does not feel damaged at all! It is soft, and the curls took really well! I am also using ApHOGEE shampoo for damaged hair, and the Two minute intensive reconstructor. i love the ApHOGEE stuff! I had used the Treatment For Damaged Hair before, and love it even though it is a pain in the ass because you have to dry it in your hair, and you can't move your hair because it becomes brittle when the stuff is dry and you can damage your hair, but after doing it, followed by the Balancing Moisturizer the hair feels really good. I have no frizzies or ends that look like they want to split. My hair is soft and shiney. Before after a perm I could feel it was damaged, but not this time. I am so glad I took the time to do it! I highly recommend the ApHOGEE products. I have the Treatment for Damaged Hair which "rebuilds hair structure for 6 weeks," the Balancing Moisturizing treatment which you have to use afterwards, but is also good by itself, The Intensive 2 Minute Keratin Reconstructor, and the Shampoo for Damaged Hair.The only "-cone" is amodimethicone. I also used ion Effective Care Intensive Therapy Treatment (no -cones) which was recommended at the beauty supply place. I use so much different stuff it is hard to say for sure which one is the miricle stuff, but hey, I didn't lose any hair during my adventure so... I should probably tell you that even though 90% of the time I am very good to my hair, I have done some not nice things to it--I highlighted it, decided I didn't like the blonde streaks (my hair is dark brown) so I died it back dark with a permanent, but peroxide and ammonia free water based color, and redyed it with BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION Gentle Semi-permanent color by Clairol Professional (no ammonia or peroxide and it has aloe vera, Jojoba, and Vit E), permed it but didn't do it curly enough and washed and conditioned it too soon so it relaxed too much, waited 3 weeks and permed it again followed by another dye (same stuff) three days later and my hair still looks and feels healthy! The point of this rambling is that I believe that the ApHOGEE stuff really helped save my hair from my messing with it, and I want to recommend it to anyone who wants to keep their hair healthy, but still feels the need to tinker with nature. I got the APHOGEE at Sally's beauty supply if you want to look for it. It is kind of expensive, $6 for a little 4oz bottle, so it is $2-$3 per use depending on how much you use--it took me a lot to get it on every rod when I permed, but a lot ran down my back as I spilled. If you are going to do it i advise you get a bottle like you use for muxing dye with the little squueze spout thing so you can aim it better on the rods so you don't make a mess and waste a lot of product. I will never perm without it again and advise anyone getting a perm to use it. I hope this message is a help to someone!
