I saw this posted on another board. What do you think? H-P-P stands for Hi-Pro-Pac(sp?) Conditioner.

I'm going to share a little "secret" I learned in beauty school with both of you. Moisturizing treatments are only necessary with some liquid protein treatments, like the ApHogee (but not with the Fermodyl which is a leave-in). The H-P-P and ION Reconstructor belong to the category of "protein packs" which for clarity I'm going to just copy the definition from my cosmetology book: "chemical mixture of concentrated protein in the heavy cream base of a moisturizer. They penetrate several cuticle layers and are utilized wwhen an equal degree of moisturizing and proteinizing is required." So save yourselves a step and try this type instead.
However, last year when my hair was really damaged, I did something somewhat similar to what Suzen suggests: I followed the H-P-P with a light application of a leave-in oil moisturizer for added protection.
