ApHogee Kertain 2 Minute Re-constructor REVIEW

This is a follow up to the Hawiian silky 14 in 1 moisturizer bye bye S-Curl/ ApHogee Keratin reconstructor post I did a while back. The ApHogee Keratin Re-constructor is a mild protein treatment for breakage it's mild so it can be used weekly until it stops. Typically you keep it on for 2 minutes but if you have a more severe case you can keep it on for 5 minutes then wash it out.My hair was over moisturized and was lacking protein so I decided to pick this up at the BSS. I kept it in for 5 minutes. Right after I washed it was back to normal and felt "Balanced" no shedding and it didn't feel gummy or mushy. I followed up by deep conditioning my hair but not for too long since I needed more protein then anything.  Worked perfectly.To learn more about breakage and protein & moisture balance read Here.

How to curl your Kinky Twist W/ Pipe-cleaners

When I first got my kinky twists my curl weren't "tight" they were very loose. Curl pattern is personal preference though, and I wanted a tighter curl. This is a cheap way to achieve a tighter curl with out having to go out and buy curling rods.To curl your kinky twists using this method
You will need:
-Pipe cleaners
-Hot water
-A cup or bowl
-Blow Dryer (optional)


STEP ONE:
Separate hair into sections and begin wrapping your hair around the pipe cleaners like you would a "flexi-rod". (The smaller  the sections the tighter the curl)


STEP TWO:
Boil water or heat it in the microwave in either a tall cup or a bowl.


STEP THREE:
CAUTION: Be VERY careful, putting a towel around your neck with help prevent burns.
Dip your hair section by section into the hot water for about 30 seconds for each section. 


STEP FOUR:(OPTIONAL)
This step is optional but I feel it helps "lock" in the curl.
Put your blow dryer on medium and blow dry the hair while it is still rolled up.


STEP FIVE:
Unroll the hair and VIOL-A you're finished.


The curls last for a while if you feel they're dropping just re do this process.

SILKBASE Closure Review

This was my very first closure. After reading up about closures I was hesitant because a lot of ladies complained theirs "bladed". I looked around at several different sites for hair, (indique, wagmans, etc.) The thing that caught my eye about Silkbase Closures was that they had a "bundle" package.  To me this is more convient than buying a closure and having to match with hair. They had virgin malayaisan, indian remy, Brazilian, and Chinese hair as well. I went with the virgin indian remy "natural" wave. I got 4oz of 18 inch and 4oz of 20 inch as well as the closure for $359. Although the hair was more like a 16inch, yes even when I straightened it (it straightens very well). I have to say the money was well spent. I wore it for roughly 2 months and it's still in excellent condition and looks new. I had some shedding but it wasn't excessive and keep in mind I did NOT seal the wefts. I did seal my closure though. Their customer service was outstanding! Very easy to get in touch with, they answered all my questions. At some point we even were text messaging. My overall grade is an A (out of an A+ or A-). My only complaint would be the length but that could happen with any company. I defiantly will be purchasing them again in the near future and I DEFIANTLY would recommend them if you were looking for a company QUALITY long lasting extensions and superb customer service!
