I have now been using K-pak Reconstructor for 2
weeks and after the first week the breakage i'd been having due to protein overload quit and now this week i really have just about no breakage,, i think that i wont be using Emergencee anymore since my hair is in better shape now,, previously I would insist on mixing Emergencee with EVERYTHING LOL,, i would mix it with Redken deep fuel and also with K-pak and use it alone but ended up with some brittle breaking ends from the protein overload,, but i think I will stick with k-pak which is creamy and more moisturizing and it makes my hair soft but strong,,, i think Emergencee should be used in emergencies lol,, if u have hair thats extremely weak and breaking,, hopefully i will not have to use it again  ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends! I am hair OBSESSED |

K-pak is a reconstructor from Joico( go to www.joico.com),, its very creamy and smells like banana,, it contains hydrolyzed human hair keratin but does not make my hair feel stiff or hard but i would recommend following up any protein with a deep condtioner... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends!

Thanks for passing that along. I have a tube of K-pak ready to try out tomorrow and it's good that you had a great experience with it. ------------- Natural 10 years 3b/4a armpit length hair |

Thanks for the info. I checked out the site, but saw a whole line of KPak products. Which one are you using? ------------- Natural since March 2006 No "heat" challenge for Winter 08-09 public.fotki.com/Vanity3 keepitsimplesista.ning.com/profile/Vanity1920 |

I've never used a reconstructor/protein conditioner in my life other than having the stylist put one in after a relaxer. I've just started using Suave's Milk and Honey Conditioner and it has Milk protein in it. I also use a spray on hair strengthener. If I use these two products, and I've never used any protein before and have had no problems with shedding or breaking, should this be enough for me? ------------- Hair type: who knows? Length: 23 inches as of 3/10/06 MY HAIR IS OFFICIALLY BRA STRAP LENGTH!! Goal: Waist Length, which is only 30 inches so ADVISE ME ON HOW TO GET JUST 7 MORE INCHES OF GROWTH! |

| I guess, but that is pretty light. Not going to prevent much. Consider yourself lucky that you haven't experience any shedding or breakage. |

when i did the reviews for kpak, i found it is the alternative to Apoghee.. A lot of Aphogee reviews stated they didn't like the stickiness, or the smell..which i didn't think was all that bad, plus having to go under the dryer until it gets hard then rinse out, plus, afterwards use the moisturizing reconstructor that really softens the hair after treatment.. it seems kpak in contrast is more simpler to use, with far less time under the drier - if at all, and smells nice.

This may sound stupid, but how often should you use K-Pak? If it is a Protein product, I was told that too much protein will cause breakage.
Thank you, ------------- Shining Always...Humbly awaiting your reply Butterfly73 |

Well, I have been using it once every week for about
4 weeks now and i have less breakage than i have seen in ages,, i am so happy ,, tho I am also doing final rinses with bottled water so im not sure which is helping,, if ur hair is sensitive to protein then once a week may be too much but u can see how ur hair reacts to it first....... ------------- Hair type: 3b some c?, fine strands, last relaxer sept 05, never again!!! current :ap length on sides,,nearly bsl in back, damn those old frazzled ends!
