Review: Follow the instructions closely and give it some time! - Note: I waited a full 2 weeks before writing this review so that I could tell how much the product had actually helped. I'd bleached my hair from a medium brown to practically white for my pink hair, and I kept up that color for months, always touching it up. Then I had to dye it back to a natural color for my job. Damage was inevitable, and I knew that, but it never seemed too bad until after the natural-brown dye job, which was my first dye job in a salon. After that, my hair was just tired. I couldn't comb through it after a shower, because it was kind of mushy. When I touched it while it was wet, it didn't exactly feel like hair -- it felt almost like a mushy plastic. There was a lot, lot, lot of dryness, and little pieces of my hair would break off. There were little white dots of breakage, and I had only to tug at the piece of hair for it to detach at that spot. When I pulled my hands through my hair, strands would get caught in my fingers. I finally decided I needed something to really get me on my feet again. The packaging was mostly fine, except that the box containing the packets was too tight, so when I tried to open it with a knife, I accidentally pierced one of the packets and it immediately started dripping out. Luckily, I'd bought extra. I was bummed, though, because I had also bought a spray bottle for the first step, since it's very liquidy, but I couldn't get it in time. I basically had to put everything aside and do the treatment right away, since it was dripping all over the place. Everyone will talk about how bad it smells, so I expected the worst. I actually didn't mind it all that much. Then again, I have olfactory damage, so it could smell like ass and I wouldn't really notice. The first part is done best with heat. After putting it through your (carefully brushed!) hair, use a blow dryer to help it harden. Again, because I had to do it right away, I didn't manage to get my hair dryer in time (at another house) and I instead waited approximately 2 hours until it was pretty crispy and I was pretty tired. Don't worry about leaving this stuff in your hair too long. If you feel like it's as hard as it can be, wait another 5 minutes before washing it out. You really, really want to let it harden! Then, when you wash it out, also make sure to rinse it all out very thoroughly in warm water. Just rinsing it, I could immediately tell that my hair was stronger. It felt more like hair. YOU MUST follow up with the second step! It's really not that much effort and it makes a difference. I left it in for about half an hour and it worked fine. IMPORTANT NOTE: For the next few days, or however long you like to wait for your next wash day (which should be several days!), your hair will feel kind of weird, and you will probably doubt that the product actually worked. If it feels weird, or you think it's gunkier than it was before, IT'S ONLY BECAUSE THERE IS STILL RESIDUE FROM THE PRODUCT IN YOUR HAIR. Calm down. It's not the end of the world. Your hair is fine, and the last traces of product will wash out. Provided you did everything exactly as instructed, your hair will feel stronger and softer, and you will really notice the difference after you give it a few days and a couple more washes. My first wash after the treatment, my hair felt almost exactly as it had when it was still virgin hair. My big, rewarding moment came just a few days ago at a party when my friend was absently stroking my hair and said he wished his hair were as soft as mine.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked like a MIRACLE!
*by S***E on September 14, 2012*

I have fine blonde hair, just below my shoulders. I've used Loreal 9.5nb to keep my roots at bay for the last 10 yrs, and have always been really happy with that. For some reason I decided to treat myself to a professional color/hi light. Worst mistake ever! My hair was destroyed! I hated to wash it because it felt like mushy cotton candy when wet, and even using top of the line conditioners, it took forever to comb out, ever. so. gently. And then I would still end up with HANDFULS of broken hair. It was devastating. I won't lie, I cried many times at my bathroom sink over the last couple of months. I prayed for something that could strengthen my hair and make it stop breaking. It took me 2 years to get to this length and i didnt want to have to cut it off. I would stay up late into the night reading everything I could find online. I kept hearing about this stinky 2 step protein treatment....why, oh why didn't I order it right then?? I guess I was a bit intimidated by the whole "rock hard hair" thing, and still shell- shocked over the damage to my hair. Honestly, I was terrified of doing more harm. I ended up noticing it in my "save for later" cart here on amazon and went ahead and ordered it earlier this week. It arrived today, and since my girls were napping I decided to be brave and go for it. BEST THING I HAVE DONE FOR MY HAIR, maybe EVER!!!! I used a spray bottle to apply it evenly, didn't comb it thru, because, well, I'm so scared of combing my hair nowadays. And I sure didn't want to comb it wet with this shellac stuff on it! I aimed the blow dryer at it and it got amazingly plasticky feeling. I was nervous that it wouldn't rinse out well, but it rinsed super easily! As soon as the water hit it, it softened right up and I could tell my hair was different! :) :) I conditioned with the step 2 (which someone had described as smelling old ladyish. And it does. She said it helped to imagine Dolly Parton doing your hair in the shop from Steel Magnolias, which I found hilariously accurate! :) and let me tell you, when I took that towel off my head, I could run my fingers thru my damp hair!! I used a spritz of my regular leave in (aveeno nourish + condition) out of habit, but I don't think I even needed it. Worked in some fructose xl body mousse, and styled it with my blowdryer, did a little dance around my bathroom and ran to grab my iPad to order 4 more packets of this wonderful stuff! And to leave this review. Hoping it helps someone else not be a chicken like I was. I seriously can't stop touching my hair right now.
