Nessa, I think it starts with your hair type. Some hair isn't going to get that "silky" look. What's your hair type? I've had the best results w/either doobie wraps or heat appliances used on air dried hair. I think oils and hair polishers give very good shine as well.

A doobie wrap is when you dry your hair in a wet set, then that's brushed into a wrap and you sit back under the dryer to relax the curl out. When you comb it back down it's very bouncy and shiney!

i agree, it has to do with your hairtype but also try to put less products in your hair. the lighter the product the silkier/bouncier my hair will be.

Nessa, this quote by Nay basically says the same thing i've said in the PM. LESS PRODUCTS...in my case there's only 2.... Water based products (Motions Nourish leave in or distilled water) followed by a light oil product (Hot 6 oil or Wonder 8 oil) does the trick for me

In addition to what everyone else said, I think that the health of your hair is crucial pre product. I hope that makes since. If your hair is even slightly damaged, no matter how much product you use, it will remain somewhat dull and lifeless.
So, my suggestion would be to focus on healthy hair first and work with your texture not against it. Narrow your products down to what works for you. Sit back and watch the sheen, thickness, body, etc. come in. In the long run, you'll be more satisfied with your results.

Peachtree, Kroger has VO5 shampoos and conditioners for $.88 this week. I'm taking your advice and try the Melon and Cucumber conditioner for my leave-in, and the Creamy Peach and Blueberries and Cream for my CO wash. I'll let you know how I like it. Done deal? Toodles.

I sit under the dryer for about an extra 15 minutes.

Hey Yal,
I don't know. But I want my hair to look like silk. You know like for example Sherrylove's hair or Peachtree's. My hair looks all dry. I wanna make it look silky like a human weave.
Anyone know any products that could make my hair look silky?

Hi Nessa:
I don't necessary agree that it has to do with hair type.
I have very course 4b hair and I've left salons with my hair looking silky. I'll admit, I've come very close to getting that look myself, but I can't.
I'm against blowdrying, but if you want that look for a special event, why not go to a dominican salon (I think they do the best job on blowdrying) with the L'oreal smoothing serum and have them blwdry your hair. I'm sure your hair will come out silky and bouncy.

Do you put anything on your hair after you take it out of the rollers and before you wrap it?
