[curlycraze]

Does anyone know if there is a pump for the large tub of Silicon Mix?

Not that I know of, but you can buy one at Sally Beauty supply (or probably any beauty supply).

The main concern I have about this condish is the mineral oil content. Can some one please post the ingredients?

TIA

I love this stuff and just purchased the 36 oz tub! I am not a fan of the scent but the men at work love the smell cause every time I walk by they ask what perfume I am wearing! LOL It makes my hair feel heavenly! I love this stuff.

I used a whole tub of it as a deep conditioner just to make sure and.......I’m actually not wowed by this product. It was just “okay” for me.

It smells very nice, but it is definitely not the slippiest conditioner in my arsenal. I actually had to use a detangler every time I used it (a real drag). Ah, well. I’ll just have to be in the minority here!

Have you noticed any adverse effects from the mineral oil content? I'm really concerned about long term use of it on natural hair. TIA

Uh-oh! I hope I don’t have to report this when my package arrives??? I will be majorly upset!

If you do, make sure you post it on the Exchange board! I hope you like it though...

Has anyone in the UK bought this Silicon Mix? If so, where?

 

[cocoberry10]

I got my leave in yesterday, and hope to get my deep conditioner (the treatment) today. Ironically, I ordered the treatment before the leave in, don't know why one arrived before the other???

I personally didnt like it. It didnt work for me at all. The only conditioner that works for my tangled hair is Alter ego.

What's your hair type (i.e. 4b, 3a, 3c, etc.)? Thanks!

Reporting back. It's def a keeper. Left my hair easy to detangle, soft and manageable.

How does it compare to Motions Moisture Plus or NTM DDC?

 

[Valarie1]

It gives really good slip and leaves my hair feeling soft. Some may find the powder scent a little strong, but I like it. It lingers for days. I need to buy some more, but I hate ordering products off the net.

I am so excited. I just received the 3 pc set today. I orded on Amazon just this past Friday afternoon! Received it today...Tuesday...not bad at all. That was with regular shipping no less!
I have the shampoo, leave in and large jar of hair treatment. I can't wait to try.

OK Ladies, you know this thread motivated me to go out yesterday and purchase a 16 oz tub of this conditioner. I was/am worried about the mineral oil content, so I decided to use it as my rinse out detangling conditioner. I tried it out this morning after a quick prepoo with QP Elasta DPR-11 w/ olive oil & honey. I washed once with Elucence moisture benefits shampoo. I must say I was pleased with the detangling process, it provided lot's of slip. My curls and cols felt very smooth and silky.

The the final verdict will be revealed on 2nd and 3rd day hair.

I love the smell, it made my dry hair super soft....I am going to order the leave in!! It's a keeper!

 

[sareca]

I used it for the first time yesterday without oil rinsing. This morning my hair didn't feel as moist as it usually does. So I did an oil rinse and wow! I used the treatment afterwards and the leave-in after that. It's about 90% dry and feels amazing... it's so smooth... like glass, but soft and bouncy. I do like the scent. I wasn't sure about it at first. If this stuff turns on me I'm gonna cry! *it feels the same as aveda brilliant but smoother*

This is the closest thing that I've used that compares to Silicon Mix but like the Silicon Mix better. I like the smell too.

What type of alter ego?

 

[ajoyfuljoy]

don't these products have mineral oil in them?

 

[sareca]

Yep My hair loves mineral oil.

 

[Sunshine_One]

don't these products have mineral oil in them?

Yes, it does and surprisingly it seems to be working VERY well in my natural hair. Go figure.

 

[cocoberry10]

Good for you ladies. I can’t wait to receive my products!

 

[cocoberry10]
