Mine are:

Nice,
how often do u use the 6 in 1? I love this stuff too and am trying to find a way to get more bc I cant find it anymore. just wondering how strong of a protein it is bc I had the sample bottles that dont list the ingredients....

 

[Nice]

IMO (and I do stress that), I think that 6 n 1 is a light protein. I left my hair soft and strong proteins usually leaves the hair hard. I plan to use this every other week.
(I love DE. I knew about this line for years and never tried it until about a month ago when a hairdresser used the line on my hair and I fell in love. This line is definitely a staple for me).

Ingredients: Deionized Water, Mineral Oil, Glycerine, Hydrolzed Animal Protein, Emulsifying Wax N, Stearalkonuim Chloride, Cetyl Alcohol, Polyquaternium-7, Glyceryl Stearate, PEG-100, Pathenol, Dimethicone, Hydroxyethl, Cellulose. Methylparaben, Proylparaben, Imidazolidinyl Urea, Fragrance, FD&C Yellow No.5.

awww, thanks so much for posting the ingredients for me! I think u are right on point, it was suggested to me to use every other weeks alternating with deep moisturizing conditioners. Once when my hair was very damaged I was using it weekly for a while and it helped my hair a lot!

thx again! now I need to locate a big bottle of this stuff somewhere!

Your welcome

. Call 1-800-535-8683 (I think that I spoke to the operator) and ask them for a salon tha uses and sells this product. Some salons will not sell you the 6 N 1 but I am sure that you can find one that will. I just called and asked before I made the trip

. HTH

cool, thanks!

How much do you spend on the big bottle of 6n1. I paid $35 dollars. If that is too much then my excuse is that I was desperate.

 

[Leslie_C]

no girl, my stupiz azzzz paid 3-4 bucks for a 2 oz bottle at the salon I used to go to in another state...ran out and couldnt find it anywhere so someone on ebay sells them for 4.99 EACH plus shipping, so I was paying about 8 bucks for 2 oz!!!!! When I find a big bottle, that would be a discount price!!

 

[so1913]

there is a 16oz bottle of Affirm 5N1 on Ebay for $26
