APHOGEE Intensive Two Minute Keratin Reconstructor Restores Softness & Elasticity & Repairs Damaged

This is my first Amazon review! I found this product on YouTube being used by a lot of girls who also have natural hair. My hair is very thick and an inch past shoulder length. I usually wear my hair blow dried and flat ironed straight. Therefore I felt my hair losing its natural curl on the ends after washing, possibly being heat damaged. Also since the winter months it has been shedding and splitting really bad. So i decided to try my first protein treatment and wanted to start off slow. I was really nervous!

I read reviews that I should wash and condition as normal and then place this 2 minute re constructor in. So I followed this routine:

1.Biosilk Silk Therapy Shampooed

2.Detangled with Biosilk Silk Therapy Conditioner added with Mane and Tail Conditioner

3.Washed out

4.Sections hair in 4 sections and Used Aphrogee 2 minute Keratin Treatment Packets (i used both as i have a lot of hair)

5.Put shower cap on and sat for 5-7 minutes. (it took like 10 minutes to put in my hair)

6.Washed out

7. Then used Olive Oil deep Conditioning Packet (30 minutes with shower cap)*this is a first time product I used....

8. Washed out, blow dried and straightened as usual using my EVO and Coconut oil. Then flat ironed

I seen too many reviews that this would leave your hair feeling dry and stiff. Being as though my hair is natural, it would be impossible for me to detangle after that treatment without breaking off my hair. So i decided to deep condition after. Which is the best idea i think!!

Results: I'm NOT super ecstatic about it?! My hair visibly looked shiny and strong after straighten. I DID see an immediate difference in my curl pattern after washing it (before blow drying). My ends had more curl definition. So this will be great in the summer when I want to wear my natural texture. Im guessing this brings back the protein and your redefines your natural texture. I didnt see anymore or less hair shedding from blow drying. Hopefully I will see less split ends and less shedding since using it. Not sure how often I will try this maybe once a month or every 2 weeks. My normal routine takes forever so this already adds an extra 20 minutes> making this at least 3 hours of hair time UGH LOL...keep you posted!
