Ok so I posted yesterday asking about this evil little bottle that keeps calling my name... Well can I tell you that I'm am having EXTREME MAJOR EXTREME KILLER EXTREME HANDS IN HAIR SYNDROME!!!
I do NOT regret spending $17 after taxes on this tube of amazingness that I dont think I'm totally believing my eyes. Guys this is the FIRST time I've ever really truely had salon "white girl type 1a" swinging straight hair that's tamed and stong yet supple at the same time. This after an AIRDRY/FLAT IRON...
So here's what I did:
1. Quick wash w/ Nexxus Therappe Poo (1 lather)
2. In shower quick DC with a shower cap and steam - saturated hair with Hello Hydration and Dangerously Straight (both HE brand)
3. Applied Potion 9 focusing on ends and then HE Break's Over leave-in for added moisture since Potion 9 is a protein treatment.
Now here's where amazing things started happening...
4. Detangled w/ wide tooth comb w/ only about 4 STRANDS of sheds.... Hell I'd been shedding like a dog in the summer with this nearly 8 wks of post NG... It was a concern for me for a while, thought I was going bald, lol.
5. Airdried my hair hanging straight under the hooded dryer on low
6. Put in a little bit of Chi Silk Infusion focusing again on ends and then flat iron on 320 degrees with my amazing Tyche 1.0 flat iron... I just bought this one recently because I have their 1.75 iron and I needed something smaller to get to the roots. I used this new higher heat setting for me than normal to be able to just do one swipe and get a straight finish.
Well the end result is that my hair is like PURE SILK... It moves when I do so incredibly lightly, the shine is incredible. I have never gotten this type of result before... I thought I was doing a good job, but uh uhn, this put the icing on the cake. The only difference in my technique was the addition of Potion 9.
It is marketed as a "wearable treatment" for the hair. It's gotten RAVE reviews on many sites, and is apparently great for protecting the hair and the ends preventing breakage and splits. I totally believe it. I was concerned about my ends a few days ago and the fact that my hair felt like it was still catching itself a bit when I ran my fingers through it. I can say that that problem has completely been eliminated!!! This is a definite staple and worth EVERY PENNY!
Kept this pic big so you can see the texture. My hair is 8 weeks post relaxer and I have a lot of NG. I honestly believe that I can safely make it to 12-14 weeks with this regimen.
Pulled the hair out a little so you can see the absolute texture of the straightened hair:

Product info:
"A Magical Idea"
An exotic trip to the Amazon rainforest inspired a hair product idea: a magical cream-gel infused with renewable and sustainable botanical extracts, but 2, 3 or even 4 were not enough. This potion needed 9 essential extracts to help restore lost moisture, revitalized damage and rejuvenate the condition of hair. The magic "9" are: jojoba seed oil, safflower seed oil, sesame seed oil, babassu oil, olive oil, evening primrose oil, rice bran oil, willow bark extract and green tea lead extract. And the magic doesn't stop there. This treatment is also wearable, making it perfect for styling hair. When potion 9, Sebastian created an original category for hair industry: wearable treatment. Even now it have never been duplicated... magic never is!
