Silk Amino Acids...how are you using it and how is it working?

[sareca]

Does adding the SAA aid in slip or with detangling properties?

A little bit. My hair feels smoother, but I still have to detangle it under running water.

 

[deejoy]

I use it. It comes in a hair spray I have. It's supposed to detangle and smooth the hair and can be used on wet or dry hair. I love it. Found it at Walgreens.

I'm liking this recipe!!! Where were you able to find the Nettle and Rosemary Extracts? I've seen the essential oils but those aren't the same are they?

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?

 

[Healthb4Length]

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.

Thanks for the feedback...I'll have to check into then!

Oh, and I surely did add the SAA to my Mascara!!

is that for dogs?

is that for dogs?

yup it appears so...

 

[preciousjewel76]

is that for dogs?

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.

 

[sareca]

Thanks so much, sweetheart. And your hair looks fantastic. The henna is giving it much health and BLING!

Thanks I was planning to stay in braids all year, but I'm quiting in August I miss my henna'd hair too much.

So I finally bought the SAA this evening. I can't wait to receive the order...

Welcome. I hope you love it.

I have a feeling you're going to it.

I took this pic for you Vixx.

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)

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.

 

[Serenity_Peace]

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!

 

[Dare~to~Dream]

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 erplexed--the smell isn't pleasant at all.

This is true!!!

Since I made the keratin/SAA mix, it smells better.

Gurl,

the EYELASHES are NO JOKE!!!!

I LOVE IT!!!

Gonna add SAA to the mascara NOW!!!

 

[dstdiva]

i can't wait!!! i'm ordering some now!

 

[tnorenberg]

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?

 

[dstdiva]

i have a crazy question: would you be able to apply SAA to your scalp to protect it during a relaxer?

 

[tnorenberg]

Bumping...

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.

HTH

i have a crazy question: would you be able to apply SAA to your scalp to protect it during a relaxer?

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.

HTH

[sareca]

My lashes are still growing. I had to move my shades to a lower position on my nose because my lashes kept hitting the inside of the lens.

I know some of ya'll tried the SAA thing too. Where ya'll at?
