Best reconstruction product.
This is the best reconsructor made but most people don't understand what it is or what it is supposed to do. 1) Apply to CLEAN Hair (use a Clairifying or Non-Conditioning Shampoo) 2) Use enough product to produce a FOAM - If it dosen't Foam you didn't use enough. (OR your Shampoo had too many Condi...

Love CAT for keeping my perm fresh!
Verified Buyer
I've been using this for years. I have an unusual haircut asymmetrical and partially permed. I apply CAT to the permed section and it restores the curl every time I use it! It's my go to!!
Amazing product!
Verified Buyer
This protein treatment is amazing! I had run out and it was not in stock (at any of my stores) so I had to do without for several months and I could tell the difference in my hair during those few months. I just love this treatment!
Love it!!
This stuff works amazing!!! It's just what my hair needed!!! Buy it you won't regret it!!!
Fabulous treatment for processed hair
Verified Buyer
I have used this product for over 25 years and even though I color my hair it is smooth and frizz free. I apply it first after wash while in shower and apply conditioner over it so it works on the cuticle before the conditioner goes on.
Saved my hair
My hair was healthy until a bad salon ombré. I've been desperately trying to save my fried hair for a month. This stuff worked so well that I could cry. I took some of the tips from the reviews & used a clarifying shampoo. I followed it with a super moisturizing conditioner without protein. The conditioner just glided through my hair like silk. Then did my usual styling routine. My hair was SO soft and glossy looking. It was almost like I had my old hair back, aside from the fried ends I'll just have to cut off! The biggest thing for me was increased manageability. My hair dried nicer, and when I went to braid it, it felt really smooth and silky and the braid didn't have a bunch of flyaways poking out like before. I'll probably do this once a week. This will give me the patience to grow my hair back out and be happy in the meantime.
