TiA!
I don't think they are the same & I'm not sure of the concentrations of each, but I didn't want an 'oily' spray as a leave-in, hence the extracts.
Beleive it or not, I order from ebay (it's just easier for delivery over here).

i wanted to try this a while back too but of course, it was sold out at fnwl
but like someone else asked, is this or would this be too harsh on natural hair?

I got some SAA (silk Amino Acid) from lotioncrafters awhile back. I didn't know exactly how to use it so I added it along with some castor oil to my cheapie conditioners to use it up. I really loved the results, it made my hair so soft and defined my curls. This stuff is a keeper, I'm not into mixing stuff up but this stuff is worth a try for anyone who is curious.

I don't see why humans couldn't use it, though
. It's just a product designed for the hair (or in the case of dogs, fur). Dogs wanna look good too!
Hey, folks here use MTG and Mane N Tail, which were "designed" for use on horses.
I was planning to stay in braids all year, but I'm quiting in August I miss my henna'd hair too much.

These are the longest lashes I've ever had. That's one coat of MK mascara I put on about 6 hours earlier.
This is from Feb (when I first started)
Oh yeah!!! There is definitely visible growth! I'm gonna do this as soon as I get home. Thanks for sharing Sareca

DARN! I can't see the pics from work. They have something blocked on my our pc's. Sareca - I'll have to check those lashes out when I get home.

Genius never dies!
I got mine in the mail today and I'm so excited. I immediately added a couple of drops to my mascara. It's on, baby!

I received mine in the mail today and I only bought it because of the longer eyelash mention (I won't be adding it to any mascara though). For some reason, I didn't think the smell would turn me off but it does

This is true!!!
Since I made the keratin/SAA mix, it smells better.

I got mine today. I think I'll add it to my leave-in first. Then I'll start experimenting w/ my conditioners and DC treatments. Wish me luck. I think someone may have already asked this,but, can your hair actually get too much protein this way or would the SAA be considered a "Light" protein?

You know, I'm not sure about this answer.
All I know is that when I apply it to my hair (b4 a relaxer & after shampoos), it helps my hair get a bit stronger, but not as strong as an actual protein condish.

I aaply the SAA w/a spray bottle- spraying on the NG, but I'm sure it gets on the scalp. Does it help? I'm not sure bcuz I base my scalp w/EVOO b4 relaxing too.
