What are the best shampoos & are more expensive ones better?

my hair is somewhat frizzy without serium(i use biosilk silk therapy for fizz) and i use a flat irn everyday because i like it straight. any recommendations?

What are the best shampoos %26amp; are more expensive ones better?
Matrix Sleek Look is the best one for what you have in mind.
Reply:i use garnier fructis..and i love it. and i have wavy/curlyish hair so before i straighten mine i use john freda frizz control..it works good.
Reply:No. Let me tell you a little something, but it is a secret that you cannot share with even your closest friends. Well, maybe your CLOSEST friends but no one else LOL. If you look at what your paying for shampoo, let's say it is six dollars and eighty five cents. About 45 cents of that is production costs, about 13 cents is distribution, about two bucks is their profit and the REST IS MARKETING! So, if you buy generic what you ARE NOT PAYING is the 3-4 dollars for all that marketing and such a big profit margin. Same product that is the only difference.
Reply:you should try Head %26amp; Shoulders or Garnier, they work really good with my hair.
Reply:I have been using Pantene for years and love it. Makes my hair shiny and soft.
Reply:Garnier Fructis works really well. It makes my hair feel soft, %26amp; shiny.
Reply:i love infusium 23 both shampoo and conditioner its only around 5 bucks a bottle and it smells so good!
Reply:Matrix is a really good shampoo....
Reply:Nioxin Hair Products %26amp; Nioxin Shampoo are the very best for many reasons. Yes, expensive is better. Check out the link.
Reply:go to www.yvesrocherusa.com





They carry wonderful products and you'll pay about the same for Pantene in stores.
Reply:I'm a hairstylist so this is my educated answer. I've tested P.H. levels in most of the grocery store brands and Aussie tested to be the healthiest store brand. The worst were Pantene Pro V, Thermal Silk, and Herbal Essence. They may seem to make your hair soft and shiny but the coat the hair with a build up. As far as professional products go there all good for your hair. It's just your preference and how much you are willing to pay. My favorite is Redken Products, they have something for every type of hair. And there reasonably priced. Do avoid over clarifying your hair b/c it can become brittle.
Reply:Biolage. Pricey but organic and smells amazing...plus they offer very tailored products for your hair.
Reply:i agree with the redken suggestion. i'd like to add that if you go to a beauty supply store (in michigan we have trade secret!) they sell them in shampoo/conditioner packages that save you a lot (i think redken is 41%) it makes it very close to the cost of higher end drugstore brands.
Reply:market got lots of good shampoos, that is hard to said whish one is the best, as here is not any shampoo that suit to everyone


Tell me if this a good idea to use on my hair?

ok, im going to use dangerously straight shampoo, and im going ot use the feria deep conditioner for black hair, and after i get out of the shower im going to use a biosilk silk therapy serum. Will that make my hair soft? Is it a good Combo?

Tell me if this a good idea to use on my hair?
Ahah.


For a gurl yay.


but maybe just a lil


too much products soo.


if it works for girls it should work for u and soften


your hair acculy im kinda sure it will depending on how dry ur hair is =] hope i helped
Reply:I think it's pretty good, although you probably wouldn't want too many products on you hair, as it wears your hair down. The deep conditioner will make it smoother and silkier, but don't go too much on the serum. Adding a blowdrier in the mix will add to the shine, too.
Reply:what the dangerously straight shampoo does is to moisten your hair with oils to make it heavier (slightly). with more weight pulling your hair down, it will help your hair straighten out. on top of that using the deep conditioner (oil) and the therepy serum (more oil!!).. i'm pretty sure your hair will get kinda oily by the time you're out of the bath.





deep conditioners should only be used like once a week and not after every hair wash. you WILL get greasy hair.





i'd say alternate between the conditioner and the therapy serum. keep it simple. they work fine on their own!
Reply:well im not sure but it would not hurt to try. :)

What should i put in my hair?

i could either use:


garnier fructis Anti-split ends treatment





herbal essences breaks over leave in creme





or biosilk silk therapy





"my hair is kinda damaged"

What should i put in my hair?
fix the damage first! try natural hair products, chemicals can do major damage. this is great, "Amazing Conditioner" for damaged hair at www.precioushue.biz
Reply:Biosilk


Heat Protection?

I'm getting a Sedu hair straightener and want to know the best products to use against the heat. I'm leaning on Sedu Smoothing Heat Protecting Boost, and BioSilk Silk Therapy. Please help!

Heat Protection?
The Sedu Smoothing Heat Protecting Boost is the best. It works really well, and it really does protect your hair

Reply:i use tresseme's heat protectant and it works really good!


so i would just say to make sure to use it though, because i was forgeting a couple times and my hair is getting sorta frizzy so just don't forget to use it!
Reply:I love tresseme heat defence spray it also seem to help it staighten but is very light you can't feel it in your hair afterwards. it protects up to 200 degrees C which alot don't, make sure you check how hot your straightner gets and upto what heat the product you get protects otherwise its usless!


another good one (also upto 200) is swartzkopt spray - pink lid.
Reply:I use a cream, like Matrix VaVoom, it helps with heat and also split ends, and if you have rusty water...helps keep your color natural instead of turning orange!Hope it helps
Reply:tresemee heat tammer works best. :] its not that expensive either and makes your hair relaly shiny.


Can I use semi-permanent color after I got my hair half highlighted a little over a month ago?

The roots are showing and I have an event to go to. Will a semi-permanent like 'Natural Instincts' or 'Color Match' wash away or dull my highlights? My natural Ash blonde hair is growing in pretty dark. I also have split ends..odd since i just got a trim in October-I condition almost daily and use silk therapy ointment daily-is my hair damaged or just have split ends? I use an ION hairdryer.


I got my hair highlighted only once before and that was 11 months before these new ones.

Can I use semi-permanent color after I got my hair half highlighted a little over a month ago?
Yes, you can use a semi-permanent haircolor on top of your highlights. Semi color contains no ammonia and is a great toner over highlights. More than likely, your hair will be shiney %26amp; more conditioned after you use the semi. It will make your dull hair look healthy and bright.





Natural Instincts is great, and you can also shop at Sally Beauty Supply to buy Salon Quality Products. Clairol Professional makes a two great semi's at Sally called Beautiful Collection and Radiance. Both add a ton of shine and will perk up your highlights. You can visit Sally and see these actual haircolors on hair swatches on the shelf to pick out the color you like the best.

Reply:Thats not advisable it may result in hair loss cause of over processing with the colour ok?So i think you wait like a month before attempting that!


How does your hair become dryed out over night?

Okay my hair was fine, I usually use 3 hair care products "Sunsilk Frizz creme, Biosilk Silk Therapy, Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum" and I flat iron my hair every other 2-3 days. I woke up one day and my hair was still fine, as soon as I took a shower, my hair became so poofy and dry! it still is, how does that happen over night? I can't stop thinkin about how bad my hair looks, I'm probably gonna head over to my hairstylist but I just don't get it, I have a chi flat iron and use it only 2 - 3 times a week... it's all frizzy and dry compared to what it was, my friends said it looked fine but I know my hair and it's WAY dryer than it was the night before....

How does your hair become dryed out over night?
Cut down on the products.


Also, go out to a hair supply store and get a deep conditioner.


One that says "Cholesterol" on it.


They're amazing for giving soft hair back. :)





Also, keep that straightener on a low setting!!!
Reply:is your diet balanced? Eat tuna for hair moisture, also other fish, almonds, nuts, make sure you get lots of vitamin D.





My recipe for nice hair is: leave it alone as much as possible.


DO NOT, under any circumstances, wash it more than twice per week!!! That dries it out horribly. The more you poke at it (with iron, products, washing....) the worse it will eventually get and more split ends will appear.
Reply:hun relax it is okay.. u could be dont a couple of things wrong


1. dont put any serum in ur hair until after u are done straighting it


2. u cannot use all 3 products at once.


3. Biosilk is great but it dries ur hair


4. when u wash ur hair always use deep conditioner. My fav. is Pantain "Intensive treatment" If you are using straighting iron or blow drier, even gel, it is very important to do treatments. You use the treatment after u shampoo and condition ur hair.





Trust me ur hair will look like the girls in the commercials... I really hope I helped cuz i do know what it feels like when ur hair is a mess
Reply:um I know cotton dries your hair out, so I use either silk, or satin pillow cases or a silk satin scarf to cover my hair.


Other than that IDK what went wrong. I know sometimes your hair gets used to products and they stop working as effectively.


IDK hope I helped some?
Reply:If you live in California it could be the Santa Ana high pressure. This causes the humidity to be very low, causes an increase in static electricity - maybe that's why your hair is frizzy - good news......it's only temporary.

dental emergency

I think I have hair buildup?

I just recently got my haircut (I grew it out for about 2 years). It's pretty long, about to almost my chin. Anyway I got it cut and right after it was cut it felt amazing and I could run my fingers through it and what not, my hairstylist used a flat iron on my hair and I loved the results, it looked badass! now I've been doing it my self for about 2 months I use "Sunsilk frizzy cream, Paul Mitchell's Super Skinny Serum, and Biosilk Silk Therapy" in my hair after everyshower, I take a shower every other day or every other 2 days. The thing is I can't run my fingers through my hair as easily as I could 2 months ago and it feels pretty bad compared to what it was 2 months ago :(, do tell me what you guys think because I'm somewhat ignorant when it comes to hair, also I only flat iron my hair for 15-25 minutes every other or every other 2 days... it looks a bit dry too! I would appreciate if someone could suggest what I can do to help my hair, I have naturally wavy/curly hair.

I think I have hair buildup?
If you think you have styling product build up, the easiest home remedy is to mix 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of baking soda with a handful of shampoo. Lather this in your hair, let it stay in your hair 5 - 10 minutes, shampoo %26amp; condition like normal.





You may just be using too many styling products. Or too much. Trying just using the size of a nickel or dime of the frizz cream. This can make your hair feel sticky or dirty, when you use too much. It can also make it hard to run your fingers thru your hair.





Thermal flat irons can really dry out your hair. Try using them on a lower heat setting and try using styling products that are specifically made for use with flat irons to protect your hair from heat damage.





Visit your local Sally Beauty Supply store and the sales associate can show your some styling products made to protect your hair from thermal straighteners like your flat iron.
Reply:I think you are putting too much styling stuff in your hair.


Go get a bottle of baby shampoo and wash your hair several times to get all the junk out. Then only use a light leave in conditioner or light finishing cream. Maybe a shine spray or flat iron spray - but not all of those at once - you'll probably have to experiment a little to find what works for you.


You can go back to your favorite shampoo, but use the baby shampoo every so often to get the hair really clean.
Reply:At first when I read the title I though you may have had a hair ball.


But it sounds like you just need to go to a hairdresser and get your hair thined out with thinning sissors.


It doesn't take long and should solve that problem. Hair thickens up sometimes and needs to be thinned out.


Hair tips please!?

I have dark brown wavy hair(it has never been dyed).


I used to use Garnier Fructis Sleek and Shine Shampoo and Conditioner, but recently switched to BioSilk Silk Therapy Shampoo and Conditioner.


The thing is, my hair isn't that 'beautiful wavy", it's the "out of control wavy", which is why I straighten my hair.


Here's the thing:


I take a shower and wash my hair one day, then I pat it dry a bit with a towel then let it dry on it's own. When it's dry I use this product to protect it from being burned, straighten my hair, use this other product that makes it look "sleekier".


The next day, my hair still looks good, I take a shower, don't wash my hair, and head out the door.


After that it's a repeat of the 1st day, then the second day.


BUT, my question is, which shampoo and conditioner should I use to help my hair stay sleek, straight(or at least a beautiful wavy) and non-frizzy, without really needing a straightener.


Any suggestions? Thanks!

Hair tips please!?
u just have the same problem as me..its frustrating rite..i also just straighten my hair to keep it in control.what i did was i kept to the same hairstylist as she knws my hair structure and texture..so when u stick to the same hairstylist, he/she knws how to handle ur hair and cut it according to the waves u've got.using the rite hair products also is crucial as im using swarfkorf hair treatment and i use it like the ordinary conditioner.straightening ur hair will needs u to always blow dry it using medium volume and thn switch to the cool volume to dry ur hair.u also need a good hair brush to comb ur hair also while blowing ur hair.well if u straighten ur hair and it does not last for 3 months,than i suggest u to just curl ur hair cus its the only way to handle wavy hair..its sexy too.
Reply:hey thr no problem...wavy hair are really sexy too..u just need to know how to take care of it. Report It

Reply:Well try products that are made for your type of hair. Big sexy hair has a few different types like Silky sexy hair (I have used) and straight sexy hair. Also try Redken All Curl products. They will help make you hair more managable.





Also Garnier Frutics (sp?) Makes a product called soft curl. I really like that.
Reply:i hav the same problem i use jus about everything but it seems nothing works huh so i think u should go to the beauty hair stores or hair cuts places becuz they can u give me info about hair then anybody can so go check it out sry i wasnt that much of a help
Reply:Use BIOLAGE coarse, frizzy dry hair line. It is nice and lightweight but it helps to keep frizz and flyaways to a minimum. Also after you get out of the shower use a anti frizz cream to help ward off any extra temptation from those feisty guys!
Reply:Try the Matrix Sleek line. i've seen it work wonders.
Reply:well try tresmeme shampoo


Airplane rules help.?

I'm going somewhere on a plane obviously.


I need to make sure I'm not braking their irritating no liquid rule.


Am I allowed to bring these items? I already know they have to be in a ziplock bag and three oz.





gel deodorant.


hairspray


sunsilk 24/7 hair creme


Biosilk silk therapy


Ralph Lauren perfume


Got2b playful texturizing pomade


a hairstraghtener





Some of these things are pretty dumb to ask but I want to make sure.





Also, some things are more than 3 oz like the hairspray. Can I bring things that is more than 3 oz that is aerosel or gel or an liquid in a check-in bag?





If the questions and details don't make sense, just explain or give me a link to everything I need to know about the new airplane rules.

Airplane rules help.?
You are allowed to bring those items in your carry on luggage and they do need to be under that 3 oz. rule. But if you choose to pack those types of items in your checked luggage they do not have to be restricted by size. As far as the complete rules I would suggest that you visit the TSA website http://www.tsa.gov/


Hope this helps and have a great trip!
Reply:check out www.Minimus.biz for everything travel-sized. it's my favorite resource for traveling.
Reply:Everything must be 3 oz or under for your carry on. Anything bigger, pack in your checked luggage.





That being said, there is no guarantee that what you put in your checked luggage, will stay there. If they see something that they feel is suspicious, they'll take it out. That or they'll put it some place else in your luggage and make you freak out.
Reply:I travel quit abit. I have found out that if you use a lot "trial size" prouducts they will let them pass through. if not , put some of your personal products in trial size bottles. I have friend who works as an airline inspector. He lets me know when the change the rules. AND THEY ALWAYS DO!!!!!!!
Reply:For starters, it's usually easier to take the big things in your luggage not your carry-on. Otherwise, separate the absolute necessities and go to this site:





http://www.tsa.gov/travelers/airtravel/p...





note how they stress to only bring essentials.
Reply:You're smart to ask.





I want to make sure you understand that these limits are for CARRY-ON bags. If you put any amount of hairspray, gel deordorant, perfume, etc. in your CHECKED baggage, you're fine!





They are only concerned with what you physically carry on the plane with you.


Do over the counter hair straightening treatments really work?

I have wavy hair ( I am a latina), and I have to flat iron it every morning.


It's time consuming and damaging, I'm looking for a quick, inexpensive fix. Regular straightening shampoos don't work, and all the crap I use on my hair (pomade, silk therapy, the list goes on) doesn't help either. I can't afford that japanese hair reconditioning. I could afford those ones they sell over the counter. Do they work, and what are the results?

Do over the counter hair straightening treatments really work?
i'm latina too and i know what you mean, i tried to look for products that work for my hair and practically none work for my hair which sucks! I want to do the Japenese Straightening too but i don't have that much money. Those Over the counter ones don't work they'll ruin your hair and dry it out. You should save for the Japenese Straightening System but if you live near NYC you can it done by the Japenese salons it will be really cheap, like 150-200. If you live in another area you can try to find salons that the Japanese people own, i don't know if it will be that cheap but it shouldn't cost as much as regular salons. Plus, they really know what they're doing and won't make mistakes like sometimes the stylist do.
Reply:straightening your hair chemically is best done at a salon. it doesn't have to be the japanese type. call around and get the best deal, and a experienced professional.





hair pro 25 yrs.
Reply:I too thought that over the counter products was the easy answer and tried to straighten my hair by myself, big mistake!It is now completely stripped, overdried, and ruined. I am latina also, and have very curly hair, I didn't want to straighten it completely, just wanted to soften my curl, and thought putting the straightener on my hair for 1/2 the time than the recommended amount would do the trick, but once I started applying the product, it took longer than anticipated. Then by the time I sectioned off, started at the front and got to the back of my head, it was time to rinse off. I now have half straight hair in the front and semi-curly hair in the back.


It looks horrible. Take my advice, either go to a professional, or get someone to help you, and think twice before going to the over the counter quick fix. Hope this helps.
Reply:yes they do
Reply:Try it at a salon first..because something could do some serious damage to your hair if you get the wrong kind and do it wrong
Reply:yes they work
Reply:NO WAY! I EVEN PAYED $200.00 TO HAVE MY HAIR PROFESSIONALLY CHEMICALLY STRAITENED AND EVERY MORNING I HAVE TO USE THE HAIR STRAIGHTENER

Flat iron usage 101!!!?

This is a message to all that flat iron their hair:





Please make sure you ALWAYS use product in your hair before flat ironing it. Some good professional products are -


Paul Mitchell's- Straight Works


Big Sexy's-Straight Areo


Redken-Gloss Drops


Farouk-Silk Therapy


Chi-Ceramic lotion





Non Professional-


Anything that has an oil or conditioner to it for flat iorning.





ALSO, only use the high heat setting for thick coarse hair!!! If you use the high heat on normal to fine hair you will see a lot of breakage and split ends...that kind of damage will only make your hair look bad, and shorten your hair. It will take quite a while to get all the damage cut off also.


GOOD LUCK TO ALL!!!

Flat iron usage 101!!!?
Ummmmm WRONG ANSWER!!!





Never ever use:


Redken-Gloss Drops or


Anything that has an oil or conditioner to it for flat ironing.





Doing so will not only damage your hair but literally cook it. Oils are never used when flat ironing hair. There a professional flat iron sprays that can be purchased from a salon to use. Oils are sprayed or hand polished onto the hair after it is flat ironed to give it a sleek finished look. For a professional look, clip your hair on top of your head and start by ironing the back sections in quarter inch sections at a time. The heat setting is not important, but do not leave it in your hair to long, you should start a half an inch away from your scalp and pull down in one quick fluid motion. Continue in this pattern dropping a section down from the top of your head as you work each layer. When finished rub bio-silk or above mention products into the palms of your hands and pull threw hair. Good luck.

How to use Solia, Biosilk, and Chi Thermal Spray?

Hello,





I recently bought a Solia hair straightener, Biosilk Silk Therapy Serum, and Farouk CHI 44 Iron Guard Thermal Protection Spray. What is the best way to use them? After showering, do I apply the serum, then dry my hair, and then use the thermal protection spray, then use the Solia? Or do I use both serum and the spray when my hair is wet and dry them together?





I read that Biosilk has alcohol in it and will in the long term, dry up your hair. How often should I use it to prevent this from happening?





Thanks!

How to use Solia, Biosilk, and Chi Thermal Spray?
biosilk will not dry up your hair! i dont use any of the other things you mentioned, but i have used biosilk for many years. you can put it in your hair any time you want to, but i think that it works best after a shower..towel dry your hair and put the biosilk all through it when your hair is still damp. i also put it on my skin and it makes it super smooth...i love this stuff :D
Reply:Any thermal products should be used before you apply any type of heat to your hair. So I would put them both on before drying. If the thermal spray isn't too heavy, maybe spray a little more onto each section before you flatiron it.
Reply:.


Biosilk question?

is biosilk a good brand in your opinion? I bought the silk therapy shampoo and conditioner. I just wondered others' opinions. thanks :D

Biosilk question?
o yeah it works amaizing!
Reply:Its okay, but I think it is kind of too heavy for my hair. I personally love the Kenra line of hair products. The gloss is amazing and it smells really pretty. Citre shine is another one of my favorite hair products. I have also heard that Joico is a good line.
Reply:i bough the hair conditioning oil because so many people rave about it, but it ended giving me flaky dandruff like hair...
Reply:Yes i would def recomend it i love there products and there serum the biosilk loveeeeeeeeee it
Reply:yep...works great!!=]♥

Is the sedu good?

Hey. I have a regular flat iron thats pretty nice. It's from a beauty salon but it's really hard for me to get to the roots because the plate is to big. So for my birthday my mom got me a sedu 1". Do you think that this will be better and is the sedu a good straightener? Also will the sedu go well with biosilk silk therapy?

Is the sedu good?
As a stylist, I have used a lot of flat irons (hair straighteners), including Sedu, Hai, Infrashine, Chi, Paul Mitchell, Solia, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss Ghd, T3, Kenta etc.





In terms of performance:





The best ones are: Sedu, Kenta, Solia, Ghd, Infrashine. These are top of the line professional brands





Above average: Chi, Hai, Paul Mitchell,





Average: T3, Big Sexy, Andis, Babyliss





Below Average: Conair, Vidal Sassoon, Revlon, Bed Head etc. These are cheap consumer brands that you will find in drugstore. If you care about your hair, do NOT buy them.

What will keep the gorgeous sheen on brand new human hair extensions? I've even tried calling the manufacturer

I have tried many products like Biosilk silk therapy, conditioner and water rinsing, topical shining, spray shining, anti-frizz and nothing seems to restore it. I have called the stylists who work with these extensions every day and they just keep suggesting the Biosilk. I was told by one manufacturer that there is nothing you can do to restore the soft luxurious sheen of new human hair extensions. Is there anyone who has found a way to do this?

What will keep the gorgeous sheen on brand new human hair extensions? I've even tried calling the manufacturer
sheen spray!
Reply:The only thing that will work is Oil Sheen. I'd use something light too. You dont want to bog your extensions down with a lot of chemicals. But whatever it is you decide to use... use only one product for best results.
Reply:hey i'm hairdresser, i am trained in extensions and i wear extensions.





problem is with most extensions tht r human, the cuticle has been stripped during the harsh chemical processing. what most manufactureres do is coat the hair in silicone and enzymes to make it soft and shiny. after several shampoo's tht coating wears off.





ive tht exact same problem with mine...and its been a lil trial and error, but i think ive kinda got the hang of it.





because when u get extensions, they r ALOT of high maintenance...u have add moisture to em cos because they dont it get it naturally like ur own does.





doing conditioning treatments helps...ive found mixing 2 together really helps.





also using a maintenance spray will help.


(cos i;m hairdresser i;m a lil product happy so when i did get extensions i didnt really change my routine to my hair too much)





so...





1) shampoo - i use matrix biolage ultra hydrating shampoo


2) conditioner i use Aussie 3 min miracle reconstructor and TIGI dumb blonde conditioner - dont b afraid to mix 2 or 3 conditioners


3) after towel drying hair i use a leave in conditioner - sallys own brand Tea Tree leave in conditioner. this helps detangle the hair.(when detangle extensions work from the ends up to the roots it minimises damage)


4) b4 blow drying i use fantasia hair polisher mist (can b found in sallys hair and beauty) and TIGI ego boost. when blow drying section the hair - makes it easier and doesnt damage the hair as much.


5) after blow drying i use a serum on my hair so smooth it over..i then secetion hair off and str8en.


6) i use a smoothing cream to stop it frizzing up.





dont 4get theres different qualities of hair - most comes from asia..usually india or china...some claim to b european but they arent. (european hair is not strong enough to go thro all the chemical processing and then still b classed as usuable where as asian hair is naturally alot stronger and can withstand all the chemicals)





the true way to get good hair extensions is to get remy hair, but this costs alot, but remy hair is hair where it still has the cuticle





any more q's email me


Good leave in conditioner?

I have wavy hair which I flat iron quite often, I have a heat protectant (BioSilk Silk Therapy) and my hair is shoulder length and frizzy. I'd prefer a spray but I'm open to anything.





Thanks

Good leave in conditioner?

What should i do to look my hair soft and silky like this?
i use some serum from Fantasia [tha hair brand] theres a lot to choose frum but i use tha pink one its called frizz buster. it makes your hair shiny and frizz free. [they sell it at walgreens/walmart/target...basically anywhere they sell hair stuff]
Reply:well you can try a conditioner or an spray.
Reply:sunsilk works great
Reply:i use the Got2B smooth operator, lustre lotion and silkening serum when i get out of the shower put that in there. then a littl e bit of the serum when your hair dries and smooth it on the top. it works very well for me.
Reply:Make sure you're using a really good conditioner. I find that the better it is, the more glossy your hair can be. Also you can try Aquage beyond shine spray. I have used it for months and will never switch. I love it. It's a salon product that you probably can only get at a really nice place. Using a flat iron after blowdrying makes my hair look really shiny as well. Just be sure you're using a good one. I use a sedu or a chi. These are quiet expensive but worth the money. When you blow dry you can try using a big round brush. It makes the hair softer, glossier, and straighter. Hope I helped!


Questionnn about the shampoo and conditioner of BIOSILK!! does it work ?

k...i just bought the Biosilk smoothing silk therapy...or something with smoothing therapy or w.e...i got the shampoo and conditioner..and i was just wondering if it worked ? and wat results does it give yuhh from like ugly dry hair or w.e...does it even work ? cause i heard it does but i wanna see from yuh're experience...so yeahh..thanxx soooo muchh !! =)

Questionnn about the shampoo and conditioner of BIOSILK!! does it work ?
I think it depends on what type of hair you have. I hate it because it sticks to my hair too much, and makes it kind of greasy. Not very cleansing.
Reply:I've never used the shampoo/conditioner, but the silk therapy drops are the best.
Reply:YES!!! it's AWESOME....I use it to control my CRAZY curly hair


Is This Ok???

okay i am wondering is this routine okay. im only doing this when i wash my hair and i dont go to the beautician. i wash my hair about once a week. i am african american and i have dry, medium hair(in thickness) and right above my shoulders and im thinking about getting it cut and highlights for school which for me starts in about a week and a half.





1. wash hair with REdken smooth down shamoo


2. condition with Matrix Biolage Ultra Hydrating Balm


3. apply biolage hydra-seal creme


4.apply Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum before blow drying


5. after drying apply CHi silk infusuion


6. flat iron or curl my hair .


7. apply wax works to the edges and spray some BioSilk Silk Therapy Shine On.





and does anyone know any good hairstyles or websites with how to do the hairstyles. and thank you sooo much

Is This Ok???
well, i do not know much about how to take care of african american hair (no offense), but i have heard that it is drier-ish that caucasion hair. i don't know why you are only washing your hair once a week but i would reccomend washing it every other day with a good moisterising shampoo for african american hair. maybe conditioner too. what i use to straighten my hair is this heat protectant spray made by kms california. it's sold at beautyfirst salon. i dunno where else though. i straighten my hair every day too. make sure that when ur hair is wet you only use a wide-tooth comb on it. do NOT brush it. make sure your flat iron is ceramic. they're expensive but help prevent your hair from getting damaged. that's about all i know. o, and wash your hair w/ warm-cool water. hot water damages ur hair.
Reply:Just make it smell good. Good like when I lay my head on it. There is nothing like the smell of a womans pillow with pretty clean hair.
Reply:yep ur routine sound fine =D
Reply:you shouldnt use so many products.
Reply:well i think u r applying lots of products....u should let ur hair breathe so that it is healthier, and not so dry!


Heat protecter?

i straighten my hair every day, i have naturally curly hair, and if i wear it curly i straighten my bangs soo yeah i straighten it EVERY DAY. i was wondering what is a good heat protecter for my hair? i use CHI silk infusion right now and it works but it smells kinda manly and is kinda exspensive?! any good ones other then chi and silk therapy? thanks

Heat protecter?
Go to Sally's beauty supply, I use a brand called "Heat it up", it's in an orange bottle with a maroon top. It works the best for me, I have no split ends. Hope this helps! =]
Reply:I like ion products. they have at Sallys beauty supply Ion heat protectant for like 6.50. prices may be different though depending on where you live
Reply:This is my favorite. I've been using it for a couple years now. You can find it at any drugstore/supermarket/salon...

Farouk Biosilk, what does it do?

Well, here's a picture of it http://americanbeautystore.com/Farouk_Bi...





Is it like the CHI infusion? Do you use it to protect your hair before straightening it?

Farouk Biosilk, what does it do?
no! do not use this product before you straighten your hair. biosilk will add shine to your hair. use it after you straighten. it has alcohol in it's ingredients and will make your hair dried out from the heat if you use it before straightening.


Shampoo/My hair/Biosilk therapy?

I wash my hair usually twice a week, occasionally even once. My friend would say that I'm really lucky since her hair gets greasy every 1-2 days. I used to use a Dove shampoo, but now my hair feels like it's getting greasier more quickly after I tried a pomegranate shampoo my mom got me.





I think I may switch back, but what are the best shampoos that you can get from a place like Walmart? I was thinking of maybe getting one for dandruff, but should I just wash my hair more often?





I'm also thinking of trying to convince my mom to get me Biosilk Silk Therapy, the one where you put a little bit in your hair after you wash it to make it soft. Would I be able to get it at Great Clips (I might get my hair cut this weekend)? or do they have it at Ulta?

Shampoo/My hair/Biosilk therapy?
I LOVE Biosilk!!! I have the same problem though. I use Head and Shoulders every 2 days to remove build up and grease. I also like Pantene Pro-V. What I would recommend from Wal-Mart is Head and Shoulders shampoo (they have many varieties depending on if you want extra fullness, moisture, shine, etc.) and then Pantene Pro-V Ice Shine. The Pantene use only 1-2 times a week because it tends to be more of a clarifying shampoo in my opinion. It removes harsh styling product build up and helps with grease. You could get both for a little over 10 dollars depending on the bottle size you get; a little goes a lnog long way.





Try these 2 and wash no more than 3 times a week, every day washing strips the hair and scalp of essential oils that they need as well as dry out your hair, plus some oils is really helpful in styling :)





Hope this helps !!!
Reply:The absolute best is the new brand called Organix. It has organic active ingredients, a luxurious sulfate free formula which wont dry out your hair, plus...it smells AWESOME! Organix has different collections for different hair types with different scents which are all amazing! You can get Organix at Target, Walgreens, Bed Bath %26amp; Beyond, CVS and select Wal-Mart. Its the best! You'll love it!

What do you think of Biosilk Silk Therapy?
it's an awesome product because they use natural silk that contains keratin in it so if you have damaged hair it helps to rebuild and if you have normal hair it maintains the shine..its awesome and try CHI their both from Farouk Systems and the hair color is amazing..i saw a demo at my cosmetology school and its worth buying

I like using it, but I often find that if I use it too much, like Biosilk-crazy, my hair gets greasy and heavy at the end of the day. I recommend using a dime sized amount at the most and using it on freshly just cleaned hair.


Better or the same as biosilk silk therapy?

i need any advice on something that is the same as biosilk or a cheap place to buy it.

Better or the same as biosilk silk therapy?

Is biosilk silk therapy bad for your hair?

Well Ive been reading other reviews on it and it says that it actually makes hair more dry after continued use. But I think its just for those people who put it on and then blow dry their hair. I just started to use it and i dont blow dry my hair i just put it on after it air dires and it leaves my hair reall soft and silky. But then again I JUST started to use it and i dont want this to later damage my hair. Has anyone else tried it?? Is it that bad?

Is biosilk silk therapy bad for your hair?
i love using biosilk! i don't think it's the biosilk that dries the hair out, it's all the continuous blow drying and heat styling products that do that damage...curling irons, blow dryers, hot rollers, flat irons. so go ahead and keep using biosilk. i've used it and i love the way it makes my hair feel...real soft and smooth. i let my hair air dry too. and i've gotten compliments from my hair stylist about how healthy my hair is.


it won't damage your hair, keep using it. take care.
Reply:I loved biosilk. I just found out that it can dry you hair. Why it has alchohol. This definitely dries your hair. I can tell you what is like Biosilk and doesn't have the alcohol. Chi Silk Infusion. It smells so good. Report It

Biosilk silk therapy serum. What is a "tiny bit"? How much is "too much". Use when? Wet? Dry? Flat Iron? Heat?

I am lookin4a hair product that will give great results.Im african american.My hair is very thick and tightly curled.I had a relaxer, but it is bout half way grown out.My hair is only a little bit longer dan shoulder length.Wat I usually do is this:Wash n Condition,apply garnier serum to wet hair,let hair airdry 90%,blow dry rest,


then flat iron. I want to replace garnier with biosilk serum.(garnier has worked AMAZINGLY for me, but have heard SOOO much bout biosilk).


I have done alot of research on biosilk and i keep seeing


"only use a tiny bit"


"don't use too much"


or else ur hair will be too greasy and weighed down.


For my hair texture and length, about how much IS too much??


How much is a tiny bit?


I just put some in my wet hair.I used aout a dime size on my whole head of hair,den I parted it down the mid n massaged in an additional quarter size amount.


Ill find out the hard way in a few hrs wen im done wit my hair. But, did i use TOO MUCH? how much should i use next time?

Biosilk silk therapy serum. What is a "tiny bit"? How much is "too much". Use when? Wet? Dry? Flat Iron? Heat?
Use it on your dry finished hair. Use a dime sized amount or less, spread it around on your hands and lightly touch the bottom half of your hair. If you put it close to the roots, your hair will appear greasy. So again, just a tiny bit, on the mid to end sections and don't play with it. Biosilk is a great product and smells sooooo good!

Biosilk silk therapy serum. What is a "tiny bit"? How much is "too much". Use when? Wet? Dry? Flat Iron? Heat?
no, you should have only used the dime size. that stuff makes your hair REALLY greasy, so i reccomend to not use it again, cause it doesn't give you great results. try CHI silk therapy. that stuff works so much better than biosilk. biosilk doesn NOT protect hair. it only greases it up and weighs it down. use garnier if you got good results, but CHI is also amazing. i've used both, and Garnier worked great, but i really love CHI.





hope i helped!
Reply:No you didn't use too much. You have thick hair, so you'll need to use more than a dime-sized amount to let the product penetrate in your whole head.


Biosilk Silk Therapy vs. Paul Mitchell The Cream?

Which product works better? What are the benefits of either product?

Biosilk Silk Therapy vs. Paul Mitchell The Cream?
I use both.





The only difference I have noticed between the two is that biosilk therapy makes my hair super shiny and smells amazing.





The cream just hydrates my hair.
Reply:From what I read through google is that biosilk is a award wiinning conditioner that is rinsed out. The cream is a leave it in conditioner/hair styling product.


The 1st costing $15 and the 2nd $9. You know your budget. If you can get them both and try them out you will know for your self. Try one alone for a couple of times, then the second.


Then after that try them both together and see if you get better results. Then you will know the answer for yourself.
Reply:i would say biosilk silk therapy.
Reply:Paul Mitchell





i love the smell of biosilk but it left my hair so frizzy and it gave me white flakes! Not cool!





so I started using Paul Mitchell and it worked excellent!!!





Also try sunsilk its cheap and great! :)

CHI SILK INFUSION or BIOSILK SILK THERAPY??

CHI SILK INFUSION or BIOSILK SILK THERAPY??
Biosilk Silk Therapy smells wonderful and exotic! I love it, and it gets great compliments. Sometimes more than my perfume! I use it on my skin too, like shoulders, elbows, etc.
Reply:None


Dont go out and buy anything expensive.


First: Purchase a mild Shampoo (To Clarify hair, I will explain why)





Second: TRIM your hair ends (May 1 1/2 to 2 inches)





Third: Here's the magic part: Mix olive oil, almond oil, coconut oil, avocado oil and a "little" honey, (honey u will have to heat so it can blend). Either leave on ALL day or all night (if all nite, DONT use honey)





Use a teaspoon of every oil and honey,.... a little more if ur hair is long or a little less if ur hair is short





Repeat this 3-4 times a week, your hair will grow like a weed, fortify, reconstruct, moisturize, soften %26amp; remove all frizz I promise,..... and it will be super shiny!!!!








The clairifying shampoo will help take the oil off your hair when u shower





You can also use a conditioner but get a light conditioner that wont wiegh ur hair down, becuz u can over condition, I use herbl essences "clean happy" conditioner.





When I do this at nite, I wake up, shampoo %26amp; condition, rinse and style as usual. Has worked for years











You can find olive oil anywere, but the other oils you will have to buy at a local organics store, wholes foods or BJ's health corner.

Ok, first thing is first....the common misconception about Biosilk is that it is heat friendly....IT'S NOT. Do not use it before you flat iron your hair....think of it this way....how do you cook? Generally speaking, you use oil and heat....IMAGINE what it does to your hair! I use biosilk AFTER i flat iron to tame the frizzies and give me a soft, polished look. The amount you require will greatly depend on what texture your hair is and how much hair you have....

You can apply it on dry or wet hair. It really helps and makes hair silky and Smooth, we should apply only about the size of a dime(NOT 2 MUCH, otherwise HAIR WOULD BE GREASY!!!) Of course males can use it I've seeen many guys use these types of hair products. It's avalible at CVS,SAMS(U got to buy the large pack,but in a way it's cheaper, TARGET,WALGREENS and JcPenny. WEll Walgreen is the most cheapest one which has it for only 12.99$. It is usually 13.49$ but @ WALGREENS you are saving a whole deal of money. It iz expensive but worth it, try it out!

I know people that swear by the product, but I personally think it's about as good for my hair as water is. I also don't like the cheap perfume smell associated with it.
Reply:yes, i love that shampoo.
Reply:There is a trick to these types of products. and it all depends on the type of hair you have. if you have straight hair, it will give the apearance of your hair being silky and smooth because the light reflects off of them





if your hair has coils, or is tightly coiled, it will most likely create a build up on the hair strands and not apear 'Shiney'





Shampoo also makes the hair dry. The soap will dry the hair out. Conditioning is the way to go when trying to make your hair healthy and moisturized
Reply:well usually these types of shampoos make your hair oily but it depends on your hair so if your hair gets oily fast then dont use it.
Reply:YES...YES....OH!!!!!!!!YES!!!!!!!
Reply:People! Come on! Did we go to high school??





Hair is dead, vitamins and all that fancy goodness does absolutely NOTHING for it. For the scalp, it works to some degree, but it does nothing for your hair. It makes me sick to see how many people are getting ripped off! Your hair is made from keratin, the same stuff that your nails are made of. Putting vitamins on your hair would give you the same affects as rubbing vitamins on your nails...nothing.
Reply:it will work... but u can try some pantene smooth and silky conditioner 2. it'll add on

Is it OK to put Biosilk silk therapy on hair before ironing?

I have been using biosilk silk therapy on my dry hair after ironing to control frizz and it works great. Is it ok to put it in hair (damp or dry) before ironing? I notice the back of the bottle says its flammable so I don't want to fry my hair.





If anyone has tried it this way, how does it work? I have thin, poufy, frizzy hair.

Is it OK to put Biosilk silk therapy on hair before ironing?
I'd say it's ok, but I wouldn't recommend it. It is only a shine serum, it is not a heat protectant at all. On top of that, it contains a lot of alcohol which just dries out your hair. Paul Mitchell has a shine serum that has no alcohol, smells good, and you get a lot more for the same price! As far as ironing, use something like CHI flat ironing spray or Loreal Texture Ironing creme....
Reply:honestly.. i wouldnt recommend it. its like putting oil on a hot stove to cook.. it will fry. try a conditioner better
Reply:if it says its flammable I`d just stick with the normal routine of what you were already doing
Reply:It's okay if your hair is damp and you blow or air dry your hair before using the iron.


Never use an iron on wet hair, it's really damaging.


And too much Biosilk on dry hair makes your hair look greasy, so be careful. :)
Reply:I am a pro at this!!! I use Victoria Secrets smothing silk jel on my hair before I blow dry, then place it on my ends before straightening it. Biosilk is just as good but VS SMELLS SOOOO GOOD!!! I have white trash wavey hair and you can't even tell I use a straightner because it looks so soft and feels soft. I can definatly tell a difference in texture if I don't use it, and my hair dresser can too!! P.S. I have a HAI straighter that gets up to 400 degrees and it hasn't damaged my hair

BioSilk Silk Therapy... will it protect my hair?

What is "Biosilk Silk Therapy?"?
It makes your hair shiny and tames frizz. It also protects your hair and conditions it. Most people apply it before they style it. You can apply it on dry or wet hair.
Reply:My hair dresser always uses biosilk in my hair after blowdrying it or using any heat product eg. flat irons. It gives my hair a luminous sheen without weighing it down and it smells really good too and it's good for split ends.
Reply:It's very good for your hair. I use it after I straighten my hair so my hair won't damage as much. It's not harmful to your hair. It gives your hair a better look %26amp; everything.

BioSilk Silk Therapy.. worth it?

I'm thinking about getting BioSilk Silk Therapy with a Sedu flat iron (my first time getting a flat iron). I'm going to flat iron my hair a lot, is this a good heat protector?

BioSilk Silk Therapy.. worth it?
It is a great product but nothing really protects your hair when you flat iron to often I suggest flat ironing then not washing it for a couple of days to get the most out of you flat style
Reply:Chi silk infusion is made by the same company. It cost a few dollars more, but is worth it. And is made for ppl who use alot of heat or chemicals on their hair.


Biosilk is also a great product. Just depends on your preference.


Silk infusion is a bit thicker and helps better with heat protection..
Reply:yesss it makes my hair sooooo soft and easy to brush through.
Reply:Yes, I have used the BioSilk Silk Therapy for like 2 years. The heat actually activates and gives the hair a nice healthy, silky shine to it. You can blow-dry or flat iron and it gives amazing results.
