Aphogee Balancing Moisturizer & Two-Step Protein Treatment by Aphogee

my hair was gummy and completely ruined from bleach! or so i thought! i did an intensive bleaching treatment to get from dark brown to bleach blonde and oh boy did i get there, but my hair felt like wet overcooked noodles and i thought there was no saving it, it was gummy, stringy, it wouldn’t dry, and i couldn’t stop crying because we’ve all seen those videos right? the ones where people lose all of their hair because of over processed bleach, well i thought that was going to be me, but aphogee saved me. i could not recommend this product enough, the whole process took less than half an hour and my hair is literally silky soft again and feels like i never bleached it. if you feel like this is the end for your hair, i promise it’s not! aphogee will save you!

I had my long , dark healthy hair dyed blonde, yes I know, stupid idea considering how much damage it causes but I needed a pick-me up after a rubbish week. I went to my hair dresser on two occasions and we got it to a blonde/brassy colour. After every wash my hair was super matted and gummy, I couldn’t brush it without clumps coming out, my hairdresser didn’t use any olaplex in my dye and I think that’s what caused the issues. I found this protein treatment via Reddit and watched so many YouTube videos and read a lot of reviews after which I bought this. I did as Instructed, it was super sticky to apply and made a bit of a mess BUT it did what it was meant to do, after applying it and the moisturiser, then following with an olaplex no.3 my hair is BACK BABY, I have it a tiny trim and scrunched it to get my curls back.. it worked and no clumps came out after washing, my curls have started to return and my hair feels soft. I’ll do another treatment in 3 months as I’ve read about protein build-up! Amazing product and so affordable .

Good product

Help my curls look more curlier !

Very good protein treatment for curly hair

Love, love love this treatment. Instant results. Hair was soft, light and healed. Love it. Will definitely recommend

I've been dying my hair black for years. Got fed up and decided to go blonde. Yeah, I realise now this may have been a bit silly to do all in one go but I used colour remover, bleach, toner, AND a lightening spray (never, ever use these, they are highly damaging- far more so than boxed dye) to get there. As a result, my poor hair was mushy, gummy and basically resembled chewing gum when wet. I couldnt even get a comb through it when wet as it was breaking off and stretching like chewing gum that had been chewed for 24 hours. I tried olaplex which sort of helped a bit but nothing amazing. I tried deep conditioners, oils etc and then I remembered this from back in the day (its been around waaay longer than olaplex) and thought what the heck, I've got nothing to lose. From the very first try my hair was transformed, it actually looked like hair again rather than straw. Its shiny, smooth and swingy. This product is an absolute miracle. A few tips: 1. If your hair is breaking off, elastic like chewing gum when wet and feels gummy then your hair needs protein 2. If your hair is dry, with a rough cuticle then you need moisture. 3. ALWAYS follow a protein treatment with moisture as too much protein can can damage your hair, it must be balanced with a moisture treatment afterwards. You also shouldnt overload hair with protein as it can make it brittle so pace the protein treatments. I now use this every 4-6 weeks to keep my hair in good condition, it really is a life saver and it has saved me having to cut all my hair off. Using this every few weeks will keep your hair in tip top condition. Note: if your hair is not damaged then this treatment wont do much for you, its really an emergency treatment for very damaged, brittle and gummy hair.

Made hair feel hard even after the balancer. I’ll stick to bond builders!

Excelente !

My hair was damaged through bleaching. Previous applied (expensive) hair products did little to help. This is amazing- it actually immediately improves both the feel and look of my hair. And it’s not that difficult to use at home. I shampoo, towel dry, apply protein product, blow dry carefully (without moving my hair too much), rinse product, condition and style. Best product I’ve used in years.

After having some annoying problems with my hair I did some research and self assessed that my hair was lacking protein. I have included a helpful info graphic that I found. The “too much moisture” section sums up what my hair was like with emphasis on the elasticity and breaking part. While brushing my hair it would go through the bristles of the Brush and stretch and then break. I had to be so careful when brushing but that didn’t help much. I tried drug store hair mask and such with no avail. Not having a lot of money for salon treatments I was on the search for an affordable at home product and I stumbled across this. It was beyond worth any risk I perceived. Within one use my hair was back to being healthy and no longer overstreching and breaking. Styling actually went a lot easier and my hair felt silky soft. To my surprise with one use, I did not have an issue with over moisture again. However, I used it once again a few months after just for maintenance even though my hair felt fine (instructions recommended). It’s been 7 months since the second time ( a little over a year since 1st use) and I have enough for one treatment left. I have shoulder length hair that tapers to mid back length. While my hair is fine and curly, I have a lot of it - so you get a fair amount of product from the small bottle - totally making this product a steal. After reading some of the negative review I believe that people are not using the product properly or do not need a protein treatment. Too much protein can be a bad thing too! Some caveats and tips: The protein treatment is very sticky and has a chemical smell - not super strong through but it can be bothersome to some. I apply over a toweled area to avoid any sticky messes. Most people don’t have the dryers you sit under, so hand drying with the hair can take a while. I can only do so much at a time before a have to take a break. It takes about 40-60 mins for it to completely dry. Yes, your hair with harden like you just emptied several cans of hair spray. It will be prone to breakage so be careful. It’s not as scary as that sounds I haven’t had an issue with that. To avoid issue - I shower wash my hair with shampoo (my own) step out towel dry off. Lay some towels down and sit. I brush any tangles out of my hair and I pour the product into my hand and apply to my hair. Once saturated, I’ll grab the hair dryer and start drying. Make sure to move carefully and not mess with your hair to much while drying. After, it is dry I hop back in the shower and let the water run through until most of the product is gone. Then I apply the second step for about five minutes and rinse. Yes, it’s a bit of a process, but the results are beyond worth it. I am so happy I found this product. Since using this, I also got rid of moisturizing shampoos and conditioner. I stick to clarifying or strengthing ones. I do use a multi purpose heat protection spray which offers some moisturizing benefits and about every other month or so I will use a little bit of the 2nd moisturizing part (you get plenty of it) just keep my hair balanced.

Bon effet, je fais le soin tous les 3 mois à peu près, cheveux adoucis un plaisir ! Par contre j'ai reçu la bouteille un peu coulée... Pour le prix ce serait bien que ce genre de problème n'arrive pas.

Vi muchos videos y tenía mis esoectativas. No me funcionó igual, pero si mejoró mi cabello. Solo llevo un primer tratamiento, espero que si lo aplico de nuevo, tendré mejores resultados.
