One reader asked:Hi, I had a quick question. You blogged about using the Aphogee 2step treatment in January. I know you liked the results, but did you ever do it again? I am looking for a intensive protein treatment.
Well, like I told her in my response email, NO I did not use it again. The real reason has nothing to do with the results. I cannot stand the stinky smell of that stuff. I figure if I feel the need to protein-it-up again I can find plenty of other sources. Plus, I had a cut on my finger and it burned the living daylights out of me! I felt like I had acid on my head and I was fearful of getting it into my eyes. Many people love the stuff and if you do, great! I just won't be going there again.
Before you do protein though, take a look at this vid. I thought it was interesting because, like InspiredCoils, I did the treatment not really feeling sure that I actually needed it. She raises good points about looking at what you are already using for protein content.
This video is great. She gives a shout out to a bunch of my fave products, Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner, Infusium 23, aloe vera gel, vegetable glycerin, castor oil, and coconut oil. She also sort of addresses pj'ism by talking about trying to use all products in the cabinet before buying new ones. Again, this is a great rule, but she brings up a good point. If it ain't working, DITCH IT!!!! It is not worth sacrificing the health of your hair to save a buck.
A lot of people are talking about protein but here are a few links to some blogs I found to be pretty helpful:
