Customer Reviews of Nexxus Emergencee Restorative Strength Conditioning Treatment 3.3 OunceCustomer Review: It's All In The Details-- HOW TO USE THIS STUFF Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I LOVE this stuff regardless of the bad reviews. Instead of everyone getting 'so crazy' over this product, it's best to remember that not every 'thing' will work for 'everyone'.
All I know is that 'EMERGENCEE' works for me.
Now then, my hair is not really damaged... but I do COLOUR it, and I do use a BLOW-DRYER, HOT ROLLERS, and my HARD-BONNET HAIR DRYER all the time so... it just seems prudent to me to incorporate a PROTEIN RECONSTRUCTOR and DEEP CONDITIONER from time to time. And I've got the healthy hair that shows what I'm doing in this regard is a good thing.
WHEN TO USE--
Obviously, you're going to use EMERGENCEE more often if your hair is badly damaged, i.e. BREAKING; COMING OUT IN GOBS when you wash or brush/comb your hair; After a bad colour-job where you hair literally feels like 'MUSH', etc.
How badly your hair is damaged will dictate how often you'll need to use EMERGENCEE. If you've got 'BREAKING, I'd use it once-a-week til your hair is strong again. One bottle should do the trick, maybe two. If your hair is 'COMING OUT IN GOBS' or feels like 'MUSH', you're gonna use it every day! til it's no longer 'Coming out' or feeling like 'Mush'. After that, you should use EMERGENCEE like I do.
I only use 'EMERGENCEE' every SIX-to-EIGHT WEEKS... two days before I go to the salon for a colouring. You want to use it before colouring your hair because PROTEIN will strip the hair of colour-dyes; thus, if you use it after, you'll lose the colour/highligts/whatever you just paid your hairdresser to put in hair.
THE METHOD--
1. I WASH my hair with 'Suave Clarifying' shampoo. You can use whatever clarifying shampoo you've got, or get your hands on. You want to use a clarifying shampoo because you've got to get all the residual crap, (namely styling products), out of your hair.
2. I then WASH my hair again... only this time I use 'Creme of Nature Professional Detangling & Conditioning' shampoo. I use 'Creme of Nature' because this shampoo leaves my hair coated enough that I can get a wide-tooth comb thru it without having to use a cream rinse or conditioner.
3. I towel-dry my hair, and apply the 'EMERGENCEE'. I like it because it works, of course, but also because it's THICK and GLOPPY... it doesn't run, (like 'water'), all over the place. I then COMB it thru my hair, CLIP it up, (my hair is bra-strap length), and SIT under my hard-bonnet HAIR DRYER for 40 MINUTES.
(Now, I don't care that the directions say to put it on in the shower and leave it for 3-Minutes. It won't work well using it that way. I've been using this stuff for I-don't-know-how-many-years now and I'm here to tell you that all 3-Minutes will do is waste the product, along with your time and money, and all without giving you the results you're looking for).
4. Then I take another shower and RINSE it all out... BUT, (although you're instructed to do so in the directions), I DO NOT SHAMPOO AGAIN.
5. I just RINSE it all out, TOWEL-DRY my hair, and IMMEDIATELY apply a 'DEEP CONDITIONER'. In my case, I use 'SILK ELEMENTS MEGA CHOLESTEROL CONDITIONING TREATMENT'.
6. I CLIP my hair back up again, and I'm back under the DRYER for another 40-MINUTES. Then I RINSE that out, TOWEL-DRY, and let my hair AIR-DRY the rest of the way. And I stay that way, (no more shampooing or using styling products), until I go to my colouring appointment two days later.
THE 'FEEL' OF THE PRODUCT WHILE IT'S WORKING--
Now, then... YES, your hair will feel STIFF and STRAW-LIKE in the extreme when it's on your head. So-much-so that you'll feel like you could break your hair right in half! BUT-- it's SUPPOSED TO FEEL THAT WAY.
'PROTEIN' IS NOT a Conditioning or Moisturizing agent. What you are doing with a 'PROTEIN-PACK', like EMERGENCEE, is REDEPOSITING the 'PROTEIN' you have stripped from your hair from colouring it and the every-day abusive actions of Blow-Drying, Flat-Ironing, and blah, blah, blah.
The first-time I gave my husband a 'PROTEIN-PACK' treatment with EMERGENCEE, (he has long hair), he came running into the kitchen a few minutes later all in a panic that something was terribly wrong, (I had put him under the dryer and gone into the kitchen to make us a snack). I asked, 'What's wrong?' He said, 'My hair is all stiff, it's gonna break-off!!', (I thought he was gonna burst a blood vessel, *lol*). I laughed and told him, 'Nothing is wrong. All that stiffness means it's WORKING!' I then had to explain to him what I just explained above, and put him back under the dryer, *lol*.
THE SUMMARY--
So... REMEMBER... A 'PROTEIN-RECONSTRUTOR TREATMENT' IS A TWO-STEP PROCESS--->
The 1st Step is REDEPOSITING THE PROTEIN by using a PROTEIN-PACK like 'EMERGENCEE'.
The 2nd Step is to then immediately REPLENISH THE MOISTURE in your hair by using a DEEP CONDITIONER like 'SILK ELEMENTS'.
And remember this too... IT ALL WORKS SO MUCH BETTER WITH HEAT.
ONE LAST COMMENT--
Everything we do to our hair damages it. To repair that damage takes more than reading reviews and/or falling for marketing ploys. One must really begin to understand the 'CHEMISTRY' of hair. Hair is 98% PROTEIN, (called 'KERATIN'), and 2% WATER. BOTH NEED TO BE REPLENISHED on a regular basis.
