Tried that new bond repair treatment on my own hair and it snapped off

So I got a sample of a popular bond builder from a supplier at the last CosmoProf show in Orlando. I figured I'd test it on my own hair first before using it on clients. Big mistake. I left it on for the max time like the bottle said, but my hair felt like straw after rinsing. Two days later I had little broken pieces all around my hairline. I think maybe my hair was too damaged already from lightener, or maybe the product has a really small window where it works. Has anyone else had a bond repair treatment backfire on them like this? I'm trying to figure out if it was user error or the product itself.

Did you check the pH? That stuff goes wrong fast if it's too alkaline.

Oh man, pH balance is everything with that stuff, learned that the hard way myself.
