My Final Update After Using Aphogee For 12 Months...

Tuesday, April 6, 2010

So around this time last year, I decided it was about that time to start focusing back on me and my hair. Back then my hair was VERY damaged. I had at least 5 inches of damaged hair on my ends.

Immediately after making the decision to try out the Aphogee line of products, I noticed results. My hair was easier to maintain and it was very shiny and healthy looking.

The products I started using were Aphogee Shampoo for Damaged Hair followed by the Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructoer Conditioner. After I rinsed the condtioner out I would spray in the Aphogee Leave-In Conditioner. I would apply a good amount of Aphogee Style & Wrap Mousse and let air dry for a hour then blow dry and flat iron to style. I would flat iron my hair approixmately every other day or whenever I felt like I needed it.

I trimmed my hair every 6 weeks.

Around my 8th month is when I stopped blow drying and flat ironing as much. I only used my blow dryer & flat iron on my wash days. So I was using heat approximately once a week.

To date I no longer use the Aphogee Shampoo for Damaged Hair ((I actually ran out and decided that my hair no longer needed it)). My main shampoo is Garner Fructis Length and Strength Shampoo. I also no longer use the Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor ((Conditioner)). I actually mixed several conditioners together for my "moisturizing conditioner". I mix Cantu After Shampoo Rinse Out Conditioner, V05, Garnier Fructis Length and Strength Conditioner and a little African Herbal Oil. Whenever I felt like I needed to add protein together I would mix mayonnaise, olive oil, and 1 egg in a bowl and apply that to my hair in place of conditioner. Recently I purchase Organics brand Hair Mayonnaise. I'll be using that for a while.

I don't blow dry my hair as much as I used to. I only blow dry when my time schedule makes so that I don't have time to air dry. However, I still use my flat iron once a week but my hair has gotten soo healthy that it's to the point where..."I'm good." :)

Now, I only trim my hair whenever I find a split end. I haven't had to trim my hair since January.

So below are the before and after pics....

The Shampoo, Reconstructor, Restructurizer and the Leave-In you can use as often as you want...I used the Shampoo and Reconstructor once a week because I wash my hair once a week..and the Restructurizer and Leave-In whenever I felt like I needed it.

The Protein Treatment should be used every 6 weeks...if you relax your hair you can use it the day before you relax.
