ooh lovely thats very helpful thanks!!

Thanks for that 😉
I bought that a few weeks ago but ill keep it until i redo my hair now ;D

What kind of damage do these kind of reconstructors help to repair?

Any reconstructor, whether it contains keratin or vegetable proteins, rebuilds the hair shaft from the inside out, depositing protein in areas where it has been destroyed by bleach/peroxide.

My hair doesn't seem too damaged, at worst it's just dryer and less smooth. Aussie 3 Minute Miracle seems to do a pretty good job on it. But I still need something more for the dryness. Is it worth me getting a protein treatment? Or should I get something specific for tackling dryness and lack of moisture? I'm already using a serum, but it's not good enough. I want some moisture treatments that looked pretty good in Boots, but I'm not sure whether to get them or a protein treatment instead? Or both?

Protein treatments are fundementally drying, so if your hair isn't chewy/stretchy when wet you probably don't need one and would benefit more from a moisture mask.

Fair enough. Thanks!

I picked up some of this from Asda today, haven't tried it yet, but just wanted to say that it seems like a very small amount in the packet.  I have very thick hair, so even though it's only shoulder length, I bought two packets of it.  I'm starting to doubt whether this is enough and whether I should have bought 3 instead.  Still cheap though!

I used this stuff on my hair the other night, and I did indeed need 3 packets to cover my extremely thick, shoulder length hair.  I have to say, I didn't find that it did an awful lot for my hair, but others may find it works for them.  It's all down to individual hair types I guess!

I used this at the weekend and i dont think i would use it instead of kpak or aphoogee if my hair was badly damaged. But i think it would be good for anyone with slight damage from straightening or bleach bathing. I used it after washing my hair and before i conditioned and found that it worked really well as a deep conditioner. I wouldnt recomend following the instructions and putting it on after conditioning as i think it would overload most peoples hair. So as a reconstructor= poor, as a deep conditioner= great.
