I think Aphogee changed the formula so it doesn't work for me anymore, and the old aphogee dried me out too much anyway. I prefer the Dudley.
Nope they didn't change the formula at all. I have an old bottle (quite full too

I like Dudley's DRC better than Aphogee, but I can't find the DRC anymore :-(

the order is different and there is something added.Nope they didn't change the formula at all. I have an old bottle (quite full too) and I compared it to the new packaging. It's PRECISELY the same...word for word in the ingredients, only the packaging and name had changed.
I feel that as a natural, you may only need to use a mild to medium protein treatment every 2 weeks or so. If your hair is very fine, then you may wnat to do one every 7-10 days to keep the strands fortified. This is only just MHO.Bumping this thread.......
BTW I have just run out of Aphogee 2 step and am seriously considering this stuff :scratchch
Just wanted to check if Naturals still need to use hard protein treatments like this every two months or if I can now skip the heavy duty protein treatments???
TIA ladies
^^^ Thanks Aggie - I indeed do have very fine hair which starts acting up every now and then hence why I was considering getting this to use every 2 months or so.....
I saw earlier in this thread that you got the Dudley's - what did you think of it overall compared to the aphogee 2 step?
Oh girl, in my opinion, they don't compare. Dudley's drc28 is superior to Aphogee 2 step bar none. It smells better, it didn't turn hard on my head and it didn't break my hair off like Aphogee.
I must admit, when you wash out the dudley's drc28, you will experience major major shrinkage, but I liked it because my hair felt super strong. To top it all off, no breakage. Silicon Mix got the moisture back for me. I see why you cannot use it less than 6-8 weeks. It really works.
I found that they both are sticky and watery. I had to put a terry turby around my head to prevent it from drippng down my neck and that is a small thing to deal with to achieve strong hair.
The drc28 is definitely my hardcore conditioner of choice. I don't think I will ever change this one. A bottle can last me a little about a year and a half because I'll only be using it once every 2 to 3 months as needed.
you know if you feel the need to try it, go right on ahead, but I'm telling you, please have some moisturizing DC nearby to balance it off. I left my Silicon Mix on my head overnight just to make sure and it was fine. I don't think I needed to, but I wasn't taking any chances.
I had also henna'ed my hair within the same week - about 2 days apart. I definitely could have skipped that because of the detangling I had to do as a result, wow!
Thanks Aggie - as always you are a oracle of info
I think I will get this or get one of the LHCF ladies to sell me a sample to try.
Btw I always DC with steam and super moisture DC for about an hour after the aphogee so will just do the same with this one.
Glad you liked it !!!
It was my pleasure to help.

Aphogee leaves your stuff like SATIN!
FYI....you don't need the other step the product to work. All you need is the bottle of stuff that dries on your hair and plenty of great moisturizing condish.
Dudley's is way better. It's hard to get ahold of that people have to use Aphoghee or something else.
Frisky, you can get Dudley's DRC 28 on Amazon for about $58 + free shipping.

There is a BSS in my area that sells it so I don't have any problems. I think I paid 40 bucks for it.
I heard some scary things about the 2 step so i don't blame you. I think i might try the dudley's though i keep looking at and somebody had mentioned before that it was good.Aww, MD ppl! I love it. Anyway. I'm scared to use the 2 step so I'll just do the 2 min this weekend. I know, I'm a punk. Don't judge me!
