I am. I specifically use the dc, sealing butter aaliyah's blessing and the mocha hair milk. I plan on trying more once the BF sale rolls around.

My hair is low to medium po, very dense and thirsty. It responses well to all the products I have tried especially the DC. I am trying to stretch it out, but I could use it weekly and my hair would be happy. It all absorbs into my hair, leaves behind lasting moisture and a great smell

Hello. I only came in to mention how much I love the line.

My last hair do consisted of washing with Go Moist Shampoo, followed by deep conditioning with Vanilla Silk Moisture Dream. I rinsed and used Wheat Germ Butter Conditioner (new formula) as a leave-in. The new formula works exactly like the old formula.

I usually roller set my hair but since I have a ton of new growth, I was too lazy and just let it air dry. Then, I rubbed a small amount of Silk Dreams PRE to my new growth and flat ironed my hair. This was my first time flat ironing my hair without roller setting in at least 6 months.

I absolutely loved the results even though I had to cut 3 inches from the right side of my head (my hair on the left side grows very slowly). After the cut, a lot of people complimented me on my hair, saying that it grew. "No, actually, I just cut three inches of hair this morning." lol

Anyway, my hair feels great. I am ride or die Silk Dreams!

Default Re: Silk Dreams Hair Care Product Reviews!

okay...

just rinsed my vanilla silk dc out. ohhhh me oh, oh my ohhhh. me likeeey.

what i did was

i condition washed with vo5 shea cashmere, then added the vanilla silk to my hair (hair is in braids). i let it marinate on my head for about an hour with no heat, then i added a little more of the conditioner to the ends and then "sealed" it with extra virgin olive oil and went under the dryer for about 20 or 30 minutes. got out from under the dryer and let it sit again for about an hour and a half while i laid around in my bed being lazy.

rinsed with lukewarm water...felt soooo niiiiiiice.

im also trying it as a leave-in because i did read in the vendor thread that it can be used as a leave-in. hopefully i like it that way, too.

also, im usually pretty heavy handed with products. i hardly scraped the top of the jar on this. but maybe it's just because i have braids in my hair? hahaha. id probably be halfway done with the jar if i had loose hair.

((hugs it))

@Toy how do you use it? I have it but I'm unsure of how to use it

Random Silk Thought: I can stretch relaxers forever from using the product line. I don't think that is a problem but sometimes I forget about relaxing my hair. I finally feel like I don't *have* to relax my hair to get it straight. That is a definite "pro" to using Silk Dreams.

I enjoy pampering myself. The Spa line, however, is making me forget that Vanilla Silk exists...

Oh sorry @gorgeoushair. Today I used the following:

Go Moist Shampoo
Mocha Silk Infusion (30 min)
Smoothing Conditioner (20 min)
Wheat Germ Butter Conditioner (leave in).

Once again I can't stop playing in my hair. Again, I can't really say which spa conditioner is better than the others, as they are all really good. Now I love Vanilla Silk, don't get me wrong... but I love the switch-ups I can do!
