I bought this a couple of years ago, used it a few times, and never used it again until this weekend. I'm not sure why I stopped since there's more than half of it gone. I used to religiously use At One's itchy scalp treatment, so that's probably why I purchased this. I decided to re-visit it as a protein alternative. Most reconstructors contain protein, but this doesn't.Description

My Experience
I shampooed with Elasta QP Creme Moisturizing Shampoo and applied this while still in the shower. I left it on for a little over 3 minutes and rinsed. My hair felt stronger, and somewhat moisturized. The feeling reminded me a lot of the Aphogee 2 minute treatment. It's been 2 days since I used it, and even after deep conditioning with the diy steam treatment, my hair isn't that much more shiny or moisturized. I've had a little more shedding than usual for the past week or 2, and this didn't help. I may use this about once a month until I finish it, but since it hasn't made the earth move, I won't buy it again.

This is one of my fav. products. That sucks that you didn't like it. Its definately not a protein conditioner. I use it as a DC w/ DPR-11.
I don't hate it, I just didn't see much difference. Maybe I'll try it as a DC...
I have this on my wishlist but since reading your review. I may just go ahead and purchase the Aphogee 2 min reconstructor because that, too, is on my list. Have you tried Creme of Nature Reconstructor?
I actually liked this conditioner. It is a very mild plant protein conditioner because it only has the plant extracts in it but none the less it is a mild plant protein conditioner and not as strong as a keratin one like aphogee 2 minute.
You should try keeping it on for 20 min with a plastic cap you will definitely notice a difference, using for 3 mins won't do anything.
