Joico K Pak

[Dreamergirl3]

I just bought Joico K Pak but am scared to use it...I've never used anything Joico. Anyone have great results with it? I also bought the deep treatment thing...any input would be greatly appreciated!

I like Joico's styling products but I haven't used their shampoos and conditioners yet.

I use the deep protien treatment (the one in the really tall squeezy tube), I quite like it, but I think i could use something with a bit more protien personally.
I use the treatment weekly. First I get all the silicone gunk out of my hair with a clarifying shampoo (you dont have to do this, but I dont really see the point of doing a treatment on dirty, product-coated hair), then I comb through the k-pac and leave it on for 5 minutes. I rinse the K-pac out then follow with a protien-free, silicone-free deep conditioner (I like neutrogena triple moisture for this. Again, probably not an essential step, but this is how I get the best results). Hope that helps some.

i've used it before, and i DON'T like it...i prefer a thicker condition though, my fav. is kerestase...

thanks everyone for your replies! I just used it today and I love love loved it! I really like the deep conditoner/protein treatmend thinger. The regular daily conditioner it came with is ok, seems a little week for me but I love the shampoo! After I use 'em up I plan on trying Kerestase, I hear good things...thanks again!

if you use the protein pack leave it on 5-15 minutes wrap your head in a towel then rinse and follow with a moisterizeing/hydrateing conditioner i love the joico-k pack it's really good stuff

I love the K-Pak as well!! Just don't leave it in too long..too much protein can actually melt off your hair.

How would too much protein cause your hair to melt? I've heard of it causing hair to become brittle and break off but not melt.

Personally I love the K-Pak Reconstructor but I only use it every couple weeks. Like Lolita, I also use a clarifying shampoo before (Giovanni Tea Tree Triple Treat) and follow it with a no-cone, no protein conditioner. Makes my hair so soft and healthy.

I used to use this before I had dreads. It works really great, leaves hair soo smooth and shiney not to mention smelling yummy!
