I use the liquid from lotioncrafters.com. I haven't used the powder. Liquid seems easier to me. I love silk protein. I put it in everything now even my Henna!

How much do you put in your leave in condish and your DCs? Is it like drops per bottle or teaspoon full?

I think it will be good for me to use especially when I start using heat. I'm thinking it will good to put into my leave in before I use my SMB before I straighten my natural hair.

I have LTR leave-in which has silk protein in it, I can use that until I get some silk protein.

i say go with the powder. I have used both and while the silk in liquid form works just as well the smell from the lotioncrafters one is gross and not one you would want lingering in your hair. It is very hard to cover up and stinks through in formulations. AVOID!

I always put oils and stuff in my DCs anyway so I just put a capful of silk protein in my DCs in there while I'm at it. It's perfect for straightening with heat because it will help protect your hair inside and outside. Also if you haven't tried Chi Silk Infusion it has silk aminos in it and it makes the hair lovely!!! :yep:
