I have been chemical free for about 13 years 😊 for a long time NO HEAT! The last 3 years my silk press had me in a chokehold 😢 2 weeks ago I took the leap and chopped off all the heat damage 😊 Now I begin my natural no heat journey again. I have a few spots with a limp loose curl pattern. I plan to use a “bond builder” to hopefully repair the hair and tighten up my loose strands. Thank you for this informative video 😊 you now have a new subscriber 🎉
A few things: 1. Why not discuss the intensive treatment with the Redkin ABC line? The intensive treatment does way more than that leave-in. Its really the star of that line for bond repair products. Side note: I have used the whole line and that is without a doubt the star of the show and has improved. 2. The Davine's product that you discussed is step #2 of their bond products with the natural tech line. Before you use the nourishing pak, you are supposed to use the Nourishing Keratin SuperActive Wonder, there are drops that are optional if you want to intensify the treatment (if team course and coilly then yes) and then follow with the nourishing pak. Side note: Use this one too it does work) 3. With epres and k18, when you used it, did you just spray it on or did you use a comb or brush to work the product through your hair? I find for both much better results when worked through the hair. 4. What is your thoughts on combining or using multiple bond treatments, like a prep with one brand and using a leave-in with another brand? As far as improvement with results, is your personal opinion on improvement with products based on shine, curl definition, detailing, strength, elasticity, less breakage or any other category? For me, I look at curl definition, reduced frizziness, shine, softness, decreased breakage, moisture, overall reduction of split ends and knots, and smoothness of ends of my strains. Sorry, so long but I do use bond repair treatments as part of my hair routine for my coily course hair.
Yasss I see you !!! You definitely know your stuff and I’ve learned from you. I def don’t know everything so I gain tons of insight from these comments. I’ll reread this and see if I can create a short video on this thanks for the comment
I'll probably try the Living Proof and Redken ones at some point. I'm enjoying the Olaplex and k18 the last year or so. They do different things for my hair, but all good. Wouldn't mind a less expensive option.
hey i love the information but one correction is that “over protein” is actually impossible and what is actually occurring is dehydration n dry hair not over protein. there was a girl who as a chemist and they said theres no such thing!!
Thank you for this informative video cause I was looking for an alternative to k18 and I started looking at redken and been looking for videos to see if anyone compared it to k18 and I'm glad I was able to go to your channel and find it I already learned from sone of your other videos so I came back to check I love, love k18 but that price is killing me it would be a problem if it was more in ounces redken will be my dupe for now
K18 is my go too that replaced them all. At first I didn’t know how 3 pumps was ever going to spread through my hair but somehow it does. It’s like magic. I tried epres as well. It’s ok. It gave me good hair that wash day. I didn’t like how the owner said he created Olaplex when he was one of the assistants in the lab. They even changed the epres website when found out. I just don’t care for shadiness.
Girlies please be careful of over processing the hair with the bond repairs. In my experience, using too many treatments caused the volume in my hair to decrease by like 40%. Follow the directions on the bottle 💗
Wow, that's interesting to know. I'm just wondering if Bond Repair products are meant for our Afro-textured hair. I haven't tried it yet, but seeing mixed reviews has me worried I'll damage my hair.
Not a dime or a red cent lol but I prefer it that way I don’t want anyone to sway my opinion. I’m going to speak truth to power when these brands like it or not.
@@hairscriptsbybevy everything from Curlsmith makes my hair start coming out in handfuls next wash day. I've utterly given up on that brand. I think they have an unlisted ingredient that I'm allergic to. I've compared the ingredients in different products of theirs, and even when there's no overlap in what's listed, if I use anything from that brand my hair is coming out next wash day. Skip it, and normal hair shedding returns. Thankfully there are plenty of other options for me to forego that one.
How often can K18 be used so it doesn’t overload your hair? My bleached hair is extremely dry and damaged and so far Olaplex is the only thing that has made a difference but I would like to try k18.
Right now there is no need to worry about overload. K18 works well for damage as well and you can combine the two !!! Just toss in a hydrating masks in between washes to balance out strength and conditioning and your hair will Flourish and be fine
I’m sorry about your break up Jiggy94 their loss. There’s so many reasons I have to say to go see a dermatologist so they can give you a scalp evaluation it’s usually covered by your insurance. There could be many reasons why your hair is doing this but if you’re overall healthy with no underlying conditions or alopecia diagnosis you’re aware of - over the counter monistat cream could work for you it’s an Antifungal that can help treat any overgrowth of bacteria and or yeast and if your scalp is itchy use hydrocortisone cream it’s a low grade steroid that would mitigate your inflammation and help you with some growth - you’re welcome ☺️
I agree the music is making it a little diff to obtain this good info.
I use olaplex before i bleach no breakage at all. I have thin hair and have bleached and colored my hair. No breakage at all.

You got this love I’m guilty of the same it happens but you got this
I’m currently trying to learn to do both. I want my curls but my hair grows and is so easy when in a silk press.

I guess she means when people overly do protein trmts it can cause very dry hair that will then lack moisture
I love your content and knowledge base. I am loving Olaplex for it works for me. I try to stay with what works.
Thank you for this informative video cause I was looking for an alternative to k18 and I started looking at redken and been looking for videos to see if anyone compared it to k18 and I'm glad I was able to go to your channel and find it I already learned from sone of your other videos so I came back to check I love, love k18 but that price is killing me it would be a problem if it was more in ounces redken will be my dupe for now
Do a Aphogge treatment every 3 months if your losing hair. You have to have a good moisturizer after.
Such a lifesaver it helps my hair so much
Learning so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing!
I need a video on your full hair routine from start to finish!
Lol I’m still working on this but I definitely will !
K18 is my go too that replaced them all. At first I didn’t know how 3 pumps was ever going to spread through my hair but somehow it does. It’s like magic. I tried epres as well. It’s ok.

Thanks for sharing., Tracy! … #richpeople and #bigbrand problems ….
Your hair looks amazing, blessing to you doing a great job
Thank you so much 🤗
Very informative video with a variety of interesting products I would like to try. Thanks for the info!
Hey Gigi! You are so welcome! ♥
Some types of hair can not take too much protein once a month is good enough moisture balance with portein works very well but its all about balance
Olaplex is still and will always be the BEST bond builder!!! Patented, proven and scientifically PROVEN to heal not damage!
Thank you for sharing. The music is definitely a distraction because it is too loud.
Girlies please be careful of over processing the hair with the bond repairs. In my experience, using too many treatments caused the volume in my hair to decrease by like 40%. Follow the directions on the bottle 💗
That Part, Senora !
Whoa, were you actually losing hair, or was the curl pattern just falling out?
Wow, that's interesting to know. I'm just wondering if Bond Repair products are meant for our Afro-textured hair. I haven't tried it yet, but seeing mixed reviews has me worried I'll damage my hair.
Olaplex claims that you can’t over use it. But it gave my hair the same effects as protein overload.
Thank you so much
For me it’s safe to stay with what works😂 and know I want to try different products but…. Thanks for the video
Sis!… I so hope that these companies are giving you some marketing coins!!
Not a dime or a red cent lol but I prefer it that way I don’t want anyone to sway my opinion. I’m going to speak truth to power when these brands like it or not.
i appreciate you .. this was very informative... following -
Thank you so much for dropping love
I used IGK for the 1st time on my silk press, it reverted my hair..ugghhh
TY for pouring the info tea! Do you have any prior videos on how to use Olaplex? This products have 0-8 i believe. What should I use?
Honestly I only recommend #3 for the active ingredient and true bond repair - everything else is fluff
Have you tried Curlsmith bonding oil?
I haven’t but I will do a video or a short reviewing it. Thanks !!

Amazing video !!❤❤
Truely love the information, but can u please turn the music down a little.
I ❤ this! I’ve saved it and plan to share!
Thank you sooo much !!!! I appreciate you
I just got olaplex 3 weeks ago. Can I use bumble and bumble and k18?
Yes ! At the same time I have a video on it
You educated me so much in just the first 8 mins, I cant wait til my ad commercial over to hear the rest!
Do you research how many participants are AA?
I do and sadly most of these studies do not take AA or any skin of or scalps of
Color into consideration… I’m working on changing that stay tuned !
How often can K18 be used so it doesn’t overload your hair? My bleached hair is extremely dry and damaged and so far Olaplex is the only thing that has made a difference but I would like to try k18.
Right now there is no need to worry about overload. K18 works well for damage as well and you can combine the two !!! Just toss in a hydrating masks in between washes to balance out strength and conditioning and your hair will
Flourish and be fine
4-6 consecutive uses for damaged hair when you use the product for the first time. After that, k18 suggests only once a month for maintenance
If you’re protein sensitive just remember that the bonds that they are repairing are basically protein bonds.
The music throughout 😫
This music is working my nerves. I don't. Know if I will be able to finish rhe video.
Any tips for hair growing thicker on one side versus the other side? You’re my new hair guru since by breakup😞
I’m sorry about your break up Jiggy94 their loss. There’s so many reasons I have to say to go see a dermatologist so they can give you a scalp evaluation it’s usually covered by your insurance.

Try a Thickening shampoo and conditioner on the thinner side
IGK dries coarse hair...
