Ok, I thought I'd come on here and vent a bit. Turns out that I cannot use Aphogee Keratin treatment. Why, you ask? Because I seem to be intolerant to EVERYTHING acidic whether I am eating it or putting it on my skin or hair. Sooooooo............ I guess this has both positive and negative sides. Here they are:
Positive - I won't be able to be a product junkie.
Negative - I won't get to smell like yummy hair products.
Positive - I'll hopefully save money on hair products since I'll only buy Shea butter and oils.
Negative - I'll have to make my own natural protein treatments from now on.
Positive - My long term protective style (yarn braids) will actually be perfect since it won't irritate my skin and I can use all natural products to seal in moisture.
I also put up a video (very amateur) on Youtube about the abuse I have put my hair through. You can watch it on my channel: etsyintertwyned.
FYI: My new hair regimen
Co wash every 2 weeks (For now, my hair gets so dry when I wash it and I don't get build up much. It is like my hair eats everything I put on it.)
Twist with castor oil and home made shea butter/oil whip (my hair is feeling a bit better but still has a long way.)
Moisture with olive oil spray every day (trying to conserve the good oils for when I go to Sweden)
Home made protein treatment every other time I cowash.
That's all for now *steps down from soap box, takes a bow, puts box under arm and walk away*

Wow so what happens when you use acidic products in your hair?
