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.

Hi Shirl, sorry to hear about your results. I've been using this relaxer for years. I have no complaints and won't use any other relaxer!!! Can you share a little more about what you did after you applied the relaxer? How long did you leave it in? Did you use the "Sustenance" conditioner after rinsing the relaxer out? And followed with the "Normalizing Shampoo"? I would give it another try and maybe allow a stylist to do it for you. I also use it as a texturizer on my husband and it curls up after I'm done. I hope this helped!

I like to use the oil treatment, especially if you blow dry or curl your hair. It helps keep moisture to your hair. It gives your hair a silkiness when using it, too. I can tell a difference when just using the defining gel alone opposed to using the defining gel with the oil treatment.

I just bought the Moroccan Oil Intense Hydrating for my hair but haven't really used it yet. I have very thick, very long, kind of coarse hair that has been chemically treated for the last 25 yrs. Paul Mitchell " Super Skinny Serum" was the first oil treatment that worked on my hair and didn't leave it greasy and I could use it when my hair was damp or dry. But I had a Brazillion Blowout Done and they used Keratin. I loved the way it looked but I have heard such great things about Moroccan Oil so I'm going to give it a try to see if it does what I expect it to and hopefully I will love it. My hair needs change once in a while to shake things things up! I just bought the Moroccan Oil Intense Hydrating for my hair but haven't really used it yet.

Hi Reina, I would think it wouldn't be due to the fact that I have very fine hair. I think using any type of heat too often is a bit damaging. So I just use it in moderation with heat protectant.

Yes, I just towel dry my hair and apply about a quarter size amount and works extremely well. Makes my hair like silk!

Hi Katherine~Thanks for posting this. We get this question a lot and glad that you are asking it here in the forum. Since opinions may differ about what is watery and what isn't the most objective thing I can tell you is this -after you put a drop or two on your hand you can turn your hand sideways or upside down and it will stay there and not run like off like water or a watery compound would. In fact we personally don't think any "serum" that will run down your hand is really a serum. Part of the design mandate for the product was to have a consistency that is thick enough to hold its shape but not be heavy or greasy in any way. Personally I think the feel is very silky but my silky might not be yours. I hope this helps and if for any reason you are not happy with the consistency (or any other aspect of srumtologi C serum 22) know that you can always return for a prompt and friendly refund. Thanks again for your interest in our groundbreaking serum! Sara srumtologi Customer Care

The treatment didn't make my hair straight unless I blow dried & flat ironed my hair. I still have my curls but it is less frizzy. I also didn't leave the treatment in for the full 45 min max. I left it in for 30min.

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

I have the same problem but what I've learn through my journey is that you have to know a little about your hair. I learned that some dryness are do to the porosity of your hair, with saying that it means you have to determine how your hair absorb moisture, and the process goes with gettin some water in a glass and taking some sheded hairs place them the water don't force down, if it just floats on the surface after 30 minutes it mean that your hair cortex of you hair is closed, so you would open them with steam or warm water and close with cool water, with that being said add some oil to your shampoo and conditioner for example: olive oil, grapseed or coconut just any oil your like. When have cleansed your oil your hair with your favorite oil and seal it in with the above product scalp, hair and ends. I would like to add get yourself a leave-in conditioner use regularly, also just make sure that all your product first ingredient starts with water, because is your friend. Your gels, leave-in's all water based. I'm reply with all this information because just want you to know as a consumer that don't just need another product that fail you and serve no purpose. This product is wonderful with maintaining moisture, I would like to add that I greenhouse my hair at night especially when I have no need to have it out. I use a conditoning cap with a satin or silk bonnet this is what works for me. I recommend these websites they've educated me a whole lot curlynikki.com,and blacknaps.org. It doesn't matter your hair type, or your ethnicity. I didn't be so long winded on your question I just believe in sharing knowledge to the fullest.I truly hope this will help you on your journey. Sincerely, Lady Bey

I'm pretty sure thats not it's purpose but I have always had long hair so I can't tell you if it helped w/ that or not. It's suppose to bring back Your natural hormones during pre or during menopause. It can help w/ many issues and I have noticed it working w/ my body to help issues not listed. These are the listed self - Evaluations questions from Never to Constantly: Headaches, increased heart rate, sweat more often, mood swings, cry more often, Hot flashes, vaginal dryness, burning, and or itchiness. I needed it for Hot flashes. Sorry if I wasn't any help. &#9825;

Hey Vicki, I'm African American as well, however my hair isn't very coarse. My daughter on the other hand has very thick and coarse hair. For years I've been trying to find anything to help with her dry scalp. Nothing worked until I got Wen. Wen was actually designed for African American hair since sulfate really dry out our hair. Her dry scalp is almost gone & I've only been using it for a little over a month now. I've also noticed that her hair has more sheen to it & is easier to comb through. I don't think that by you swimming any damage will be done by using Wen, saying I'm also a swimmer & use Wen on my hair. It's supposed to help restore moisture. But my motto is try it once & if you don't like it don't buy it again. I hope I helped. Have a blessed one. :-)

Hello, the product is amazing and I had another treatment done three months after the first application and considering that I normally use to relax my hair and did not need too, even better.The first day you have it done the hair seems heavy and somehow sticky but will be gone once you rinse out the following day.Take care.

Hey Julieann! Honestly,I don't know. But, nothing beats a failure like a try. I use the steamer to untangle my hair ( the steamer releases my curls and tangles) and help it open up so it can accept the product( my hair is stubborn). Steam on my curls made them looser and gave them moisture. But that's how my hair reacts. Try this. Put a roller in your (dry) hair overnight. In the morning, turn on the shower and let the steam fill the room. Dont let it get wet. After you shower, let your hair dry air dry and take out the roller and that will tell you how your hair reacts to steam. Hope this helps. Good luck.

Breanna, I love the deep waver. My hair is long and no longer holds a curl from a curling iron, by the time I clamp the end of my hair and roll up there is so much hair that the top just doesn't get curled, even using small sections. My hair is to the middle of my back (I'm 5'7") and has long layers to help with the weight. I would say hair needs to be at least shoulder length to get the correct wave. If you google this product then hit images, my hair gets those kind of waves. You can spray and scrunch for an even curly effect. I'm 100% satisfied. Styling is quick and it lasts

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
