Relaxed Ladies

[myronnie]

I use Aphogee 2 min reconstructor the week before I relax and every month when I clarify.
I am looking for a new recon though because the new aphogee has mineral oil in it and that weighs down my hair

BTW I use Organic Root Stimulator No-Lye Regular

ooh and i think i found my new recon: Motions CPR reconstructor. Here's the ingredients:
TRIGLYCERIDE ,GLYCERIN ,CYCLOMETHICONE ,DIMETHICONE ,POLYQUATERNIUM-37 ,ISOSTEAROYL HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN ,DIMETHICONE PEG-8 LANOLATE ,DIMETHICONE PEG-8 ISOSTEARATE ,QUATERNIUM-80 ,PHYTANTRIOL ,DMDM HYDANTOIN ,FRAGRANCE ,YELLOW 5 ,YELLOW 6
No mineral oil!

Lye relaxed-

Use Aphogee 2 Min Reconstructor every week

my hair loves protein, so i use reconstructors fairly often (1x or 2x a week or so... and not to be mistaken with hardcore protein), and don't go out of my way to avoid protein. the only time i'll try and stay away from it is the first week or so after a relaxer.

BTW, i use Hawaiian Silky Lye relaxer, exclusively, and i enjoy aphogee's 2 min. reconstructor, and joico's kpak reconstructor. (and sally's GVP knockoff is really good, too!!)

This is me! I use nexxus emergencee once a week! I start using protein about 1-2 weeks after my touch-up. I find that when I use protein for 1-2 minutes every wash followed by a DC moisturizing treatment my hair stays strong and happy.

Side note: the products that I use on the daily basis are all moisturizing. The only time I get protein is on wash days!

Edited to add: Im lye Mizani BB

I relax with Design Essentials Sensitive Scalp (no-lye). I use Motions CPR weekly since it's a mild protein and easily available.

I'm lye salon relaxed...I get Affirm Regular, and then she uses the Affirm Reconstructor. I also just watch my hair when I style at home, and when needed I use either: Aphogee 2 min, Keracare Restorative Masque, or Elasta QP DPR-11. Since my hair is now short I probably use these once every 2 or 3 weeks.
