What protein treatments do you ladies use? I need a good protein treatment that I can buy from the store, like Sally's or somewhere. I currently use Ion Reconstructor Treatment but I'd like to try something a little different. I used to be really dilligent about using protein treatments (every 2 weeks usually) but lately I've been slacking and I need to get back on track. How often do you all do these? All suggestions welcome....thanks!

I use Aphogee Treatment for Damaged hair every 6-8 weeks. I use Aphogee 2 min Keratin Reconstructor, AtOne Botanicals Reconstructor, and LeKair in between that whenever I feel like I need a little more strength. Also I've found that Garnier conditioners (especially Long & Strong) are good for lite protein conditioning in between heavier treatments. -------------

Thanks Sistaslick. I've been using Lekair for a long time now and I do like it but for some reason I like to switch up every now and then. I have the Long and Strong conditioner but I didn't even realize it had light protein in it. I think I'm gonna try the Aphogee since I've heard a lot of good reviews on it. ------------- |

Thanks a lot Nita. That was a big help. I did a search on Sally's website and they do carry this so I'm going to get it the next time I go there. Has anyone tried any of Aphogee's other products? ------------- |

Lamur's Bone Marrow is outstanding- it can be purchased at sally's as well- saved a friend of mine's hair. she was constantly getting braids and sew-ins and one of those tight braiders broke her hair of in a circle. It's filling back in now thanks to the bone marrow. ------------- Me and you, your cousin and your momma too rollin on da strip on bow's |

I use the Aphogee treatment for damaged hair every 6-8 weeks. I also use the Pro-vitamin Leave-In conditioner. It's a great detangler and strenghtening spray. ------------- ~~  LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE!~~

I usually use dove or pantene. A good moisturizing conditioner should do fine. |
