 LOVE THIS STUFF!Jan 12, 2007
By Bladen's Mommy
I absolutely love this stuff. I would recommend this to any person that has frizz. It makes my hair feel so silky smoothe. I started using it about 2 months ago and cannot stand to go without it. Just use a little because it can make your hair look oily if you use too much and don't put it close to the scalp either for the same reason. I tried the Chi Silk Infusion because I thought they would be the same since they are both made by Farouk but the Chi is not nearly as good. I would give this 100 stars I could.

Know your product!Sep 14, 2007
By A. D.

It is important to know what hair types that products work on. From whatI see and have heard, it works on most anyone's. I live in the south and there is HIGH heat and HIGH humidity here as we are near the gulf.
I have long and thick African American hair type and I wash my hair and use the silk therapy while flat ironing. As a side note, I use all Ionic products from the Conair ionic brush, to the Andis ionic hairdryer and an ionic flat iron. It doesn't matter if you do or not, but ionic products enhance everything good that you can do to your hair including this product. With it, my hair bounces and flows.
If I wrap my hair faithfully every night, it lasts until my next wash without my continuing to put heat on it more than that. I have used silk therapy for years.
Things to be careful with:
1. USE A SMALL quantity!!! My hair doesn't do well with oil AT ALL. Even though this doesn't have oil in it, putting too much on it gives it the same over lubed effect.
2. Every once in a while it is good to use a shampoo that rids your hair of build up with this product. But then, I have pretty thick hair and it doesn't get limp often so I don't really care, but it may help someone else. Over time you can feel that build up on your hair...
3. There is alcohol in this product, you have to be careful not to over dry. Especially if you have a hair type that you don't have to wash daily. Wrap your hair or do something where you don't have to put the product on too much. As another person said in a post, this is a good reason to use a moisturizing shampoo.
... But this is just knowing the product. Not everyone will have ANY reason to use caution and some will have to use maybe one or two of these tips. It TOTALLY gets 5 stars!

Use a tiny bit, lasts foreverSep 14, 2005
By Liz

I have longish wavy hair that I color occasionally. My hair tends to frizz up and look frazzled out, even though I never use a blow dryer. I have tried a lot of different hair-smoothing products, from shampoos to conditioners to leave-in lotions.
But this stuff! It makes my hair sleek and silky in a way that no over-the-counter stuff I have ever found could. It's not goopy or gel-ly or oily like many anti-frizz products. I think it's silicone-based, so it just slithers onto your hair and then makes it look like a '70s shampoo commercial. (If I also use a straightening wand for special occasions, it looks like "princess hair.")
My hair also feels about 500% softer than it does without it. Not just subtly softer, if you're paying close attention, but like the difference between those new kind of plush toys that have extra-silky fur, compared to the old-fashioned kind of stuffed-animal fur. (I've had guys compliment me on the softness of my hair since I started using it.)
This is a "desert-island" product for me!
I had a shampoo-sized bottle (not sure of the exact ounces) and it lasted nearly two years.

Wow!Apr 29, 2007
By Tres Chic
"Reviewer"
[...]A little really does go a long way. I used only a dime-sized amount of the product and massaged it from my roots to my ends, especially the ends. Then, I took my flat iron (Maxiglide) and flat ironed my hair. It came out looking wonderful, and was very bouncy. People have actually been staring at my hair all day. I am African-American, but my hair, because its been relaxed for years, is sort of a cross between curly and straight, with kinky curls at the root. After using the Biosilk Therapy and the flat iron, though, my hair looks 10x better.
One word of warning though, you should not use this product everyday, as it does contain a good bit of alcohol. I would use it maybe every other day, and make sure to use a shampoo that restores moisture, as alchol will dry it out. Using only a dime-sized amount should not really affect it too much, it may in the long run, but using a moisture restoring shampoo, and not using heat tools too much may help. My flat ironed looks usually last me 2-3 days, depending on the heat, humidity, outside (I live in the south). Today it was pretty hot, but my hair did not frizz, so that's another reason to at least try this product. The smell is also very subtle. You can smell it, but its not over-powering.
I bought my Biosilk Therapy (5.64 oz) from Target for only $11.99, so I'd check there and at a local beauty supply store. For one thing they probably sell it for less (no S&H), and for another, if you don't like it then its much easier to return.

 Great product for certain types of hairMay 07, 2008
By Judy Barrett
"Avid Reader"
A friend told me to try this product a while back. I have long, curly, thick, course blonde hair.
It worked so well for me that I will be a life long customer. A small amount while your hair is wet works wonders and sometimes I add a little more when my hair is dry for an extra silky look. It makes my hair shiny and healthy looking along with a smooth frizz free all day style.
The results were so good for me that I recommended it to a friend who had fine, thin slightly wavy hair and the product made her hair look greasy even with a very small amount. I on the other hand have to go seriously overboard before it looks greasy on my hair.
Basically I think its a great product but if you have thin, fine hair ask your hair stylist to try some on your hair before you purchase a bottle. I honestly don't think this product is for all hair types but the ones who can wear it will be very pleased with the results.
