ALTERNA Caviar Repair RX Re-Texturizing Protein Cream

What it is: A deeply restorative leave-in treatment for coarse, porous, or severely damaged hair. What it does: This powerfully reparative leave-in treatment is formulated with Strand-Building Proteins to help restructure strands, fill in gaps and tears in the cuticle, and strengthen the hair, protecting it from breakage and future damage. Transforming previously coarse hair, it significantly improves smoothness, texture, and manageability. What it is formulated WITHOUT:- Parabens- Sulfates - Phthalates What else you need to know: Strand-Building Proteins target damage at the microscopic level, working to repair each individual strand of hair. Delivering essential nutrients to the hair’s interior cortex, it nourishes and strengthens strands and fills in gaps and tears in the damaged cuticle, reconstructing this protective layer to ensure that nutrients do not escape. It also cements the newly constructed, exterior cuticle to the interior cortex, ensuring that the scales of the hair lay flat. Additionally, it seals and reinforces the cuticle layer with a defensive shield that strengthens the strand to increase resistance to breakage while infusing hair with vital antioxidants to help prevent free radical penetration and other damage from occurring. The result is stronger, smoother, softer, and shinier strands fully restored to their healthy, pre-damaged state. Research results: -Alterna Caviar Repair Rx Re-Texturizing Protein Cream is clinically proven to reduce breakage by 95% when used with Caviar Repair Rx Instant Recovery Shampoo and Instant Recovery Conditioner

Good stuff

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
While I had to return this because it was too drying for my face, it really does work and makes pores smaller. However, due to all the acids in it, it is drying. I do recommend this though

Smells delicious and leaves my hair so soft and full of life, even after using a hot iron. It helps with frizz too. (I think the croc is the best iron to control frizz). Wont repair already damaged hair. Nothing does that except cutting of the damaged end. Big fan, worth the money.

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
A few months ago, I bleached my hair 3 times, and since have recolored it 3-4 times. Obviously, my hair was pretty lifeless and crunchy from all the chemical processing. I picked this up without having done much research and was REALLY pleasantly surprised. I just use a really small amount, rub it between my palms and lightly run it through my hair after a shower. My hair felt incredibly soft and feels much healthier.

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
I use this product along with the RX shampoo and conditioner. I recently ombred my hair so getting healthy again was important and this protein cream has helped a lot. I like to part my hair in small sections and put a tiny amount on my hand and start at the ends and work upward until my whole head is done. I find that immediately after using it my hair feels thicker. It's also much shinier even without using any hair oils. I'm not sure if this is because it's actually restoring health to my hair or if it's the small shiny specks in it. You can see it if you look really close with the product in your hand. I like the product so far and am pleased with the other alterna products I've purchased.

Pleasantly Surprised

Quick Take: easy to use
I have tried many leave-in creams in my lifetime, including Living Proof's restorative leave-in and I have been disappointed every time...until NOW. I put a quarter-size amount in my hair while it was still pretty wet, tousled and scrunched my hair with my hands and let it air dry...(normally my hair is very frizzy when I let it air-dry) I got compliments all day on my hair, then I took it a step further and used a curling wand and did a couple strands...my hair looked silky smooth and it KEPT the style for 2 whole days. I am very pleased with this product. It does what it says its supposed to do and really does hold your style just like the Living Proof's new prime product.
Bottom line.. give this product a shot, you won't be disapppointed!

Quick Take: easy to use, repairs, treats dry ends
This product has significantly repaired my hair. I have slightly damaged hair (from coloring, blow drying and everything else), and after using Alterna Repair RX Protein Cream every other day, I have noticed an improvement in texture and ends of my hair. It seems to have repaired the ends of my hair. Definitely will continue using this cream as my weekly routine.

love it
-04.11.13
This stuff does wonders. I put it on my hair before blow drying and before straightening -- makes my hair look much healthier. Even use it sometimes when I don't dry or straighten my hair as a leave in conditioner. Worth the $ in my opinion.

Saved my hair

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
My hair was so dry, brittle and dead looking. I was ready to cut it off. This saved my hair and made it look like it did in my 20's. I shared it with my sister, and she became a fan as well!

Quick Take: easy to use, quick results
I love how easy it is to blow dry my hair after using this product. I'm not crazy about the smell, it doesn't stink or anything. It's just not the greatest smell ever. However, it's an insignificant trade off for the way it leaves my hair. My hair is thin and curly, this makes it really simple to straighten my hair in as little as 10 minutes.

Amazing product!!
-02.19.13
This is by far the best leave in treatment I've come across. Although it works the best with the shampoo and conditioner on its own it works wonders as well. It's a little pricey compared to other leave ins but it's worth it!

I have only used this once and it is already my new favorite product. I have fine hair that tends to break easily. After my hair dried I could tell that it already felt softer. The directions recommend to use it 1-3 times a week and I think once a week works well for me. It didn't make my hair oily or weigh it down. I think that everyone needs to have some sort of protein-type product for their hair and this is the one for me.

I've had my hair lifted 5-6 times in a year and went from black to blonde - needless to say, my hair was left a bit damaged. I had tons of those dreaded white spots at the ends where my hair was ready to break off, and some of my hair was more coarse than my boyfriend's beard. I began using this cream along with the shampoo, conditioner, mask, and KeratinPerfect and Ojon hair oil to restore my hair. After about a month, the texture of my hair has completely transformed - it is no longer frizzy, puffy, or coarse. The only complaint I have is that these products did not do much to "repair" the existing breakage as they claim to, but I'm happy with the overall results.

This stuff is really amazing. Not only does it instantly make your hair feel soft and healthy, the benefits last long term as well. My hair is very long and thick and a small amount of this product goes a long way.
