Silk Peptide powder and Marine Collagen

[s_terry]

Surprisingly, I couldn't find alot of info about these two protiens on the net and what it does for hair. Several ladies have talked about and NewFlowers has been sweet enough to share her tips with me.

The question is, who is using these, how do you use it, and what improvements/advantages have you seen in your hair?

Thanks Ladies!

bump ump ladies. Do I ask the most inane questions? I seem to never get responses

Anybody?

Yup, your questions are silly and shall remain unanswered.

Just kidding!! I'm the resident thread killer here so you will NEVER take my title....

I use Marine Collagen. I added some in my moisturizer. And I use it in my deep conditioners sometimes. It gives me more strength and elasticty (sp?). My hair really really hates hard proteins so this 'softer' one does a great job at striking the balance.

That's about all I can tell you.. I'm sorry I cant be more helpful. I am interested in the Silk Peptide powder myself. I know Brownie uses it (along w/ Silk Powder) and really really loves it. I plan on ordering some next week hopefully.

Where do you buy both of these?

I did a little searching and found this: http://www.jajagroup.com/HBADivision/silk_protein.shtml

Not a lot of information, but it reads:

Apply silk protein to hair

After silk protein on the hair dries, it becomes a transparent crystalline protective film. This film can directly prevent the hair being damaged by alkaline materials in hair products. This protective film can increase the hair elasticity and increase the hair's natural shine. It has a very special protective function in hair products.

You've already got my take on it - but I am bumping this back to the top because there are several other ladies here who use these.

Here is silk peptide info from www.newdirectionsaromatics.com
