Reddit mentions of Aphogee Balancing Moisturizer & Two-Step Protein Treatment

Ahhh amazing thank you SO MUCH.

I've heard that amazon's product isn't the OG, and it's diluted, much more watery. Even the comments say the same of people who have the salon version vs the amazon. Also it seems their site only sells to professionals? It says "for consumers" but when I put #3 in my basket, it says "Please note: Products from this cart are for salon professionals only.
We will verify your professional credentials before first time orders will be shipped."

I will DEFINITELY be checking out that recommended Apoghee treatment, though. Is this the product you referenced? Any suggestions for usage?

Woop woop!! Glad to hear it! Back when my hair was toast, I switched between Olaplex and apHogee. Worked wonders! Could be worth looking into. Congrats on getting your curls back!

For what it's worth, I used Aphogee Two Step to save my bleached-to-hell hair and it worked wonderfully. (I decided I wanted to be a blonde last summer, and instead I became a person with sad melted hair. It's getting healthier/happier, though.)

Plus, happy/healthy/non-porous hair holds onto color better, so this might be up your alley. :)

Fellow wavy-hair-girl here! I had a similar issue after getting an ombre one summer. My hair dried out beyond the help of my normal routine (Thanks July sun). I was able to strengthen my hair and repair/prevent damage with protein. I actually just posted this comment on another current thread, but I'll say the same thing to you:

I'd recommend a protein treatment. It did a lot of good for my hair when I had damage. You can have it done at a salon, or do it yourself. It's not difficult to do (and not too expensive at all), but it would be an excellent opportunity to talk to a stylist about your issues.


I found my first protein treatment on groupon, and it was fantastic.
If you'd like to buy the product and do it yourself, you can buy it here. Youtube has plenty of tutorials and the process is pretty easy. It does smell weird and chemically, but it did wonders for me :)


I have only had the treatment done once, the following 3 times I did it myself at home with fabulous results. Listen to the packaging. You can do it once every 6 weeks. Don't do it more often!

Edit to include: I also ALWAYS use leave in conditioner. ALWAYS. Organix makes a really, really good blow out cream. You can find it for less at walmart or a drugstore. I guess it's not technically leav-in conditioner, but I've found it to be hands down the best at taming frizz and not weighing down my hair. I don't always use it with a blow dryer, but I ALWAYS use it. It's my must have hair product.
