Got this to try as an alternative to AOGPB for when I need protein - which, now it is warmer, is every 7 days. Note: this is a regular rinse out condish - not the PT they do, which contains mineral oil.

It’s quite thick, but not creamy like AOGPB, and goes quite ‘watery’ (for me anyway) as I applied to hair. The smell - not sure how to describe but quite pleasant ‘salon product’ smell that I found did not linger. I left in for around 2 minutes, combed thru’ and rinsed out. Hair felt very ‘smooth’ and strong upon rinsing. Very different feel (for me) to AOGPB which leaves me with a ‘softer’ less strong feel. Followed up with AOHR - left on for around 10 mins. Good result!

I like this condish - only used once so will need to use a couple more times and then update. Thumbs up so far! 

I love you new avatar.

Thanks v much zenalla ‘tis quite short now, compared to January! It wasn’t such a big shock, as I did it in stages!

Yeah, I’ve followed your progression.
I think you got it now!!!

Lol! Yes, I think if I go any shorter I’ll be venturing into ‘crew cut’ territory! 

Hey CT - saw your comment about this in another thread - is this the right one? They sell a bigger size - a litre for about £31

I have this reconstructor and it makes my hair feel like butter. I have fine hair, so my hair loves protein. It’s definitely a great protein fix.

Yay! Great, thanks for that kat! I had not come across anyone in UK stocking the large! 

I have seen this loads of times, I keep changing my mind whether to buy it or not.  I have seen it in FragranceDirect, Gorgeousshop, Hairsupermarket and also I think shoprush have it too!  I think I will hold off getting it this month, as I have already spent over £100 on hair products and I only got paid on Friday

No worries

I can’t decide which protein conditioner/treatment to go for:
Komaza Intensive Moisture Therapy
Joico K-Pak Reconstruct
CJ Repair Me
AO GBP

I hear good things about them all! Im pretty much out of Curl Fix now so need to make a decision. Sigh. (I should mention I have only tried out Repair Me - which is of course the most expensive)

I can also recommend the Joico condish too.  Decided to get it after reading good things about it on this forum (from CrystalTips mostly)  My hair seems to love it, along with the AOGPB. 

Kat I posted you a link to Amazon who are selling it a bit cheaper at the moment on my curl diary as you wanted to know where I bought it.  Hope you got it   Thanks for posting info on the megga size too

I did get that link thank you

I don’t want to put in an emporium order for a while, until I’ve run out of samples and can do a larger one - so I think I’ll either get the K-Pak or GBP one Im leaning towards the K-Pak now after reading so many good things about it (plus the smell of AOHR made me gag - is GBP similar?) Is this one where you definitely need a DT afterwards?

Well….....the GPB does have a smell to it.  Not sure how to describe it though apart from to say it doesnt strike me as being ‘sweet’ smelling like the AOHR.  If you’re very sensitive to smells I’d try the Joico first.

I’ve done a DT pre-poo but haven’t done one after using either of these protein conds.  The nearest I’ve got to that is using some KC Moisturising Cream & AVG afterwards.  That does soften my curls & make them slightly less ‘springy’ once its fully dry.  I’ve also done it where I’ve just used AVG afterwards without the KC Cream & its left my hair curly & very springy.  Bit less frizz too if dont use the moisturiser as well.  Either way the results are fine by me.

Anyway, going CG must be doing some good for my hair cos I saw my sister today (havent seen her since I went CG towars end of Jan) & all she wanted to do was touch my hair !!!! 

Well I think that seals it for me then - I am quite sensitive to scents - I will use one I don’t especially like (like CF) as long as it disappears. AOHR was an awful, traumatic experience for me lol - my hair went insane and lost any curl and grew 3 times the size the first time I used it and the smell…...*shudder*

K-Pak it is :D

Of course I could just put eggs in my hair…but that seems like a hassle.

IT HAS ARRIVED!!! :D

Mwahahahahahahaha

Totally going to do my hair in the bath tonight even though its kind of silly doing it in the evening styling wise but I want to leave it in my hair for a looooooooong time :D
