StarlightDoes This Work Without A StraightenerHi All,I see that many of you mentioned that you use this after you straighten/blow dry hair. I have frizzy hair on the top(because of exposure to the weather/environment/etc) and decently(not pin straight) hair on the undersides... I dont get the time to straighten my hair regularly. Does this have a good effect to be used just as a leave in conditioner? Does it make hair silky or add any shine?Waiting for responses..Reply to this postFeb 25, 2010Link to this post

SamYesIt absolutely can be used as a leave in conditioner. I see it does work better when I blow dry or straighten my hair but if I use it without doing the two it still gives me a silky and shiny affect to my hair.Apr 24, 2010Link to this post

MattHow Do You Use Biosilk?how do you guys use biosilk? Me, I sometimes blowdry it, but occasionally I let it airdry and its still fine. Do any of you just let it air dry? You dont technically HAVE to blowdry it do you?Reply to this postJan 19, 2010Link to this post

AnThin Hair EffectivenessCan BioSilk Silk Therapy be used effectively on thin hair? Im concerned that it will weigh down my very fine-textured hair and tend to produce build-up and residue, like most intensive leave-in conditioners.Reply to this postJan 19, 2010Link to this post

MandaThin Hair EffectivenessI have thin and curly hair and I use biosilk all the time to take away the frizz. It is so light and you only need a dime size amount to put in your hair. I mostly air dry my hair and it is still useful, and it makes my smell so good.Feb 25, 2010Link to this post

Cat>>>No, Biosilk is not oil (not in the traditional sense, anyway). It is mostly made up of silicone-style products. Heres a breakdown of the ingredients: Cyclomethicone & Dimethicone: silicones that coat the hair follicle, making cuticles lie flat and hair look shiny. Gives a "dry" silky feel, so that it doesnt feel like you have sticky oil on your hair. Prevents moisture loss by forming a barrier on the follicle.SD Alcohol 40B: A quick drying alcohol solvent. Often used in hairspray.Panthenol: aka vitamin B5. Attracts moisture from the air and binds it to follicle. Doesnt *nourish* the hair, simply coats it. Used in many shampoos.Ethyl Ester of Hydrolyzed Silk: I think this is a form of silk extract, makes hair soft and gives it slip.Octyl Methoxycinnamate: a form of sunscreen.C12-15 Alkyl Benzoate: From what I can gather, this serves a similar purpose to the -cones. Also supposed to condition hair & skin.Phenoxyethanol, Methylparaben, Propylparaben: These are all preservatives, and maintains the integrity of the product (keeps it free from mold, for example). It should be noted that some researchers believe these to be carcinogenic substances when encountered in large doses. In trace amounts (like you find in your hair products), they should be fine. The jurys still out on the health aspects.The -cones and alkyl benzoate dont really moisturize hair (or skin) so much as prevent moisture loss. Its important to realize that hair is essentially dead. You cant "feed" it, only prevent further damage. Some of the ingredients in Biosilk are often found in lotions and creams for the skin because they give a silky smooth feel and help lock moisture in. However, most lotions dont have SD alcohol in them either, so Id take the claims about Biosilk being good for your skin with a grain of salt. For the record, I just bought Biosilk, and I quite like it. I think theres some confusion though about what it is and what it can do. Although I have some basic knowledge of chemistry, I am not a chemist, nor a hair stylist. This information is based on my own research, and is not endorsed by Biosilk or this website. I hope this post provides answers to questions others may have about this product.Feb 25, 2010Link to this post
