My HAIR WAS DAMAGED! Is Aphogee Keratin 2 Minute Reconstructor The FIX for DAMAGED Hair? Lets Talk!

[@thatlovegirl12]

Aphogee was the “Olaplex” back in the early 00s when I was growing up. It’s an OG product that works!

[@ulovemegz]

It really issss the OG! 👏🏾🙌🏾

[@shereeredwood]

Aphogee is such a great line for treating damaged hair. It has saved my relaxed hair so many times

[@ulovemegz]

YES! its literally THE saver!!!!

[@Vivrancy]

Sitting under the dryer/applying heat with my deep conditioner has been a game changer

[@ulovemegz]

Its the BEST!!! 💁🏾‍♀️🙌🏾

[@nesha.michelle]

That aphogee brings back soooo many memories ! The OG hair girlies know this was the Megs , Ateeya & fGrohan days !!! All had beautiful long luxurious hair ! The original IT girls when it came to hair goals

[@ulovemegz]

Aw thank you! It's so good. I was looking at my routine and was like "let me go back to my 2013 routine" and it's really starting to show the results!!!!

It’s been many years on the online platform. You have matured and looking healthy. Continue a healthy lifestyle. No more videos for me but I am loving my natural hair and embracing this beautiful gray color. Have a great week.

[@ulovemegz]

[@icycici6191]

Aphogee is a protein treatment that protects the outside of the hair (protects hair from wear and tear & supports moisture). Olaplex is a bond treatment for the inner layers of the hair (supports the hair structure from severe damage deep within the hair cuticle & cortex). It's good to have both, but Aphogee will help retain length better than Olaplex. Protein is like water 💧 for the hair, which is necessary to put back in the hair, more so than repairing the bonds of the hair.

[@CL-do5eq]

Well explained, thank you

I love this one. I haven't used it in a while, but it used to be a regular part of my routine. I was getting the olaplex service at the salon, so I didn't feel the need to use this, but I switched to keratin treatments, so I'm adding this back into my routine. Love seeing you, girl. 💜

[@ulovemegz]

Aw thank you so much!!! Yesss those treatments are so good especially when trying to recover and strengthen.

[@mariegeorges3544]

Hello, great video. Yes, could you please do a video on the differences between Olaplex3 and the Aphogee 2 minute reconstructor. Thanks

[@letoyachantelle2229]

This stuff is good! I been using it for years!

[@RockinwitRoxy]

God. Bless. You! Sheesh. So happy I looked at this video before I shaved my head. I’m overcoming a stressful time and neglected my hair. Now I’m back baby!( soon) 😅

[@ulovemegz]

Girl I feel you! Sometimes we just have to take a breather and prioritize ourselves!

[@ABeautyAddict]

For processed black hair I would say Aphogee or protein in general is more effective than Olaplex. We tend to neglect protein while using bond building products.

[@ulovemegz]

Agreed!

[@kaylamajor7923]

Thanks for sharing Meg! I would love to see your journey/process of using this product over time to repair your hair. All of the girlies that used Mielle products are on the lookout for updated hair repair/healthy hair videos

[@ulovemegz]

[@lovehope3753]

Aphogee's two-step product formula has changed, but I may revisit the 2 minute product. TFS.

[@ulovemegz]

I'm scared of the two step protein! LOL Years ago I used it and it was way too strong for my hair lol.

Omg why am I so early much love from South Africa ❤❤your hair is so healthy

[@ulovemegz]

Helloooo from South Africa. Thank you for watching!!!

[@Nat-mw3bz]

You have to remember that skin, eyes, and hair tell you where your health is! Lacking Iron, B vitamins, vit E, and micronutrients. It's what you consume that determines your hair's strength and health, not just what you put on it.

[@ulovemegz]

I lacked many of those nutrients and so glad I've been on Geritol for a year and things are majorly improving!!!

i used to use it back in the day and recently started it again about 2 months ago. i noticed a difference. Im going to get the keratin leave in as w3ell. thanks

[@wonder_lily2471]

First of all let me tell you that I looooove your energy 😍🤩 you are hilarious! Now, this product is a real game changer, my hair loves it. I’ve been using it for a few weeks because of severe breakage and I can already see my hair recovering and retainning length🥳. I leave it for 15-20 min then rinse and apply my moisturizing DC. It leaves my hair so soft and strong. Muuuuuch less breakage. I need to restock it for life 😂

[@ulovemegz]

Aw thank you so much! I'm glad that I'm feeling like myself again because WHEW life was definitely lifting!! It really is a game changer and you're right about leaving it on for 15-20mins and follow up with a moisturizing DC! soooo bombbbbbbbbbbbb!!!!

[@m.aurelia.s9098]

Your hair looks amazing!!!!! It has bounced back very well. Happy for you. I'm in Zambia (Africa), I wish our Pharmacies or Beauty supply stores had Aphogee products.😢

[@diananemoy7409]

Thank you for this video. I hadnt used a protein treatment in 10 years because my high porosity wavy curly hair dries out easily from them snd kertain hesvy products which i od'd on early days when everyone was obsessed thinking it would magically make all curls frizz free and perfect lol. Have stuck to moisture and gentlr products for years, no heat and doing all right yet was baffled my ends always looks crazy and uneven wave one piece curl another ringlet another. Made nonsense why i couldnt get my curls to be more uniform and bounce back like they werr pre straightening years especially not using heat for so long. A friend reminded me about Aphogee which i used in my teens and tried the 2 step and dispise it lmao. I wish i remembered this Reconstructor version because the other liquid is torure on earth no matter how you use it even in a spray bottle sticky and stinging rverything and mess all over my bathroom no matter how precise. Did it 2x for last 2 months and yes curls have bounced back a bit with a few stray wavy pieces still among the tighter curls but much better. Never eould have thought it was oer lack of protein especially when you dont damage or color your hair. Switching to this mask version asap to avoid the mess and have some sanity. How often do you recommend using it and do you at all recommend the Green Tea Leavein version. I imagine one or the other to not have too much? I also used to use bond treatments as a protrkn alternstive thinking they wouldnt be as drying all these years. They werrnt but never helped with my curls bouncing back like for many. Do you think they are necessary at all compared to protein? Thank you so much for your thoughts and your hair looks amazing! ❤❤❤❤

[@jamaican0721]

I don’t know girl just do the video & im sure I’ll thank you later. Sometimes idk what I want to see until I actually see it 🤷🏾‍♀️ I’m glad your feeling like yourself again 😉

Interesting. I was watching 2 step videos bc i picked this up at the beauty supply and i was like ugh sounds like a lot. I might try ur method first and see if it does anything

[@traceylennon1204]

Hi Megz, I bought some Aphoogee products and did not realize they all had protein. I bought the reconstructor the leave in and the mousse wrap. I am newly relaxed after 10 years natural and would like to know how I use these without causing protein over load. Thank you.

[@ulovemegz]

@@charlenewatson3848 heeeey! I myself would make sure you always balance with some sort of moisture product if using it. Like myself I dont use the entire line but I pair it with other product that's moisture based because it definitely can cause overload

1. Can I give this treatment the same day as my relaxer. 2. Is is ok to use it weekly and if so how. (Shampoo, Alphogee 2 Step Protein, Conditioner?????)

[@ulovemegz]

I've seen people use it on relaxer day and I've used it in the past on my retouch days also. I use it weekly when I use moisturizing conditioners. So say if I'm doing a protein treatment, I wouldn't use this.

[@Charlenestar]

How do you compare this to the ORS replenisher? Do you use this one as more of a rinse out and the ORS as a deep conditioner? and how often do you use each?. I'm natural now and forgot all about the reconstructor but I do remember it making my hair feel nice when I was relaxed.

[@ulovemegz]

Reconstructors and light protein are a little different in how I use them. The Replenishing conditioner is more of a conditioner to be used for deep conditions while the reconstructor is more of a treatment.
