Silk Therapy greasiness I bought Silk Therapy to help my heat-damaged hair. I have naturally wavy/curly hair that is pretty long (maybe 5 inches past my shoulders). I've been putting the serum in my palm, about the size of a nickel, and working it in from my scalp to the ends of my hair - like the instructions say. I do this while my hair is wet since the instructions say it doesn't matter if your hair is wet or dry. Also, I put the serum on my hair prior to any hair products like gel or hairspray. Every time I do this, my hair looks like a greasy mess! What am I doing wrong? I had to stop using it during the day because my hair looks so awful. Instead, I put it on my dry hair before I go to bed at night. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Silk Therapy greasiness I bought Silk Therapy to help my heat-damaged hair.

As a user of this product for many years, I've learned that a little goes a long way. I'd recommend you reduce the amount you use ~ go from a nickel size to pea size. Bet you'll like it a lot better!

I too used this for years, but not recently. I'm glad to find it available on Amazon, and it's half the price of a local beauty supply store in SoCal. It's a great product and revitalizes the hair and gives it a healthy shine. I agree with previous comments...a little goes a long way. Good luck. Nancy

Use a lot less, it does not take much. I have long hair too and use 2 or 3 drops at a time. If I use too much I get the greases too. Rub it into your hands then your hair, and I try to put most of it in the hair not the scalp. Start on the hair under your hair, near the scalp and then the lengths of hair, do the top last.

The problem could also be the products with which you are combining Silk Therapy. I suggest you try applying the Silk Therapy first and, if you feel you need to use gel, use only a tiny bit and increase it gradually. I did find that certain types of gel do not react well with Silk Therapy and did make my hair greasy. I stopped using gels altogether.

There is hydrolyzed wheat protein and silk, towards the bottom of listed ingredients. I'm not a chemist, but maybe the different alcohols, the water, and "puffed up" animal proteins work towards hydrating hair. FYI: use small dime sized amounts before blow drying/ironing, cause it reacts to heat.

I found the directions on the side of the container, however my beautician recommends to apply a small amount (large pea size for short to medium hair and double that for long hair) while hair is very wet after shampooing massaging deeply in to roots and the spreading to ends. Leave in 3 to 5 minutes. It works great for me and has allowed me to recover my hair loss that I experienced while under a terrible stressful time in ,y life. I hope you have success like I did! Once your hair has been restored to it's natural beauty, use the daily moisturizer and the masque once a week.

I agree with other posters. My hair reaches to my waist. I start the roller about halfway down the section of hair, roll the ends and leave plenty of foam roller to also then roll up to the scalp. BE SURE you are steaming the plastic covers, and I always shake them quickly before I put them on, to pop off any condensation that has accumulated because those drops will cause the curl to not take. I also start at the crown doing the three front pieces framing my face first and then before unrolling I take off those 3 curlers shields, steam them again and put them on again and then remove them last. Just my way of getting the pieces that frame my face to be as nice as possible! I agree with other posters. My hair reaches to my waist.

I bought the serum from the same company - I called them b/c mine was kind of tugging at my skin and the person on the phone said to use their serum with it. They even sent me a free bottle and when it ran out I bought this one (below) love it :)Silk'n Serum, 1 Ounce

I end up with a wet look after my hair dries, I don't believe this is from the Moroccan oil tho, I use a few different products to get my curls looking the way I want. I don't like the wet look I get, which I believe is from my gel I use so once my hair starts to dry a little I just scrunch it a bit with my hand and the wet look is gone.

as you know ,Everyone has different physical fitness,most people used on "M" stalls is enough,pls used it with essence which you daily used is best.and after treatment pls to do a mask,ice mask,it will help you find result soon :) a little of people got rashes and redness,it's means the treatment time is too long and Energy is too high,or Your skin is more delicate in itself. but don't worry about it, it will disappear after 1-2 days :) ,Like the summer, sunburn

I roller-set my natural hair with this thermal wrap weekly. The curls come out silky with a nice sheen. I like to use it with a setting lotion for a firmer hold but you can use it alone if you prefer a softer set.

Dear L. Lynn, while you may think of me as biased (since I am the one who chose this roller to be the first product for our brand - Bodiance) - please know that there is an overwhelming scientific evidence of it working, and working well! Studies have shown you can use it with, or without a skin care product applied afterwords, as at the core of this therapy is natural New collagen generation within your skin. It takes a bit of time to see the results in some cases, but they (the results) do come in. IMPORTANT: this is the correct size for a derma roller for face - 0.5mm, because the collagen is produced at a depth of 0.5-0.6mm. It makes it rather gentle as well! You can roll once or twice a week, clean the face first, then roll where desired. Should you choose to apply your favorite cream, the more natural it is, the better - this treatment greatly enhances product absorption. Which will also save you money on a cream - you can use less of it :) Hope this helps. Look forward to having you as our customer!

I want to thank you for posting this review. I am in a simular situation as yourself. I have vowed to stop using relaxers due to thinning in the crown of my head. I have thick corse hair and stopped perming it around December of 2007 and have only had it washed and flat ironed since then. I have been fearing that the flat iron would not work after a while. But after reading your post my mind is at ease. Thanks for the conditioning tips also. :)

Hi this is definitely not a straightener, it is a true keratin treatment that will decrease volume & frizz, make your hair manageable all while leaving your curl.. I've used this treatment approximately 3 or 4 times now this past year & my hair is growing in nice & healthy. While I do enjoy the results, I must say it takes a lot to do this procedure so make sure to have time on your hands on the day that you choose. Also, I have to be honest ... Not to crazy about the smell however a friend did tell me once shortly after a treatment I smelled good ...go figure lol. Let me know if you choose to buy it what you think...take care Hi this is definitely not a straightener, it is a true keratin treatment that will decrease volume & frizz, make your hair manageable all while leaving your curl..

What I just recently purchased was the Silk therapy conditioner for hair. That is all that I have used it on - my hair.

This does not sound right at all. Mine is like a very soft gel--goes on skin like silk. I do manipulate it around in the tube before using to make sure all is mixed well. You might try that.

It sounds like you had a defective product in both cases. My product was thin like a serum, but I have never had the experience that you had with it. I have used it over a year, do 4 or 5 pumps to cover my short curly hair after shampooing and conditioning my hair. But I also use other products with it. If you don't like this product, I think you should try others to see whether you get a better response. As for me, I am staying with it--keeps my hair from getting frizzy.

I'm using it as a regular treatment when I was my hair as conditioner or leave it in on my ends and works perfectly, my stylist says works better with heat but it's depends on your hair type. I love this product
