Ok I tried the knock off nunaat silicon. Is made in brazil it smells different from silicon mix and I don't much like that smell like fem product smell and it did make my hair feel soft It didn't penetrate the hair my hair didn't drink it up for me to use a lot of it to have it overloaded. I put a heavy amount on but it sat on top of my hair on the surface my hair didn't absorb like it did the silicon mix. but no great big deal I thunk it's almost a draw with silicon mix a little ahead bc SM it gets hair a little bit smoother And my hair absorbs it they prob have 1 less cone.
I rinsed all of it out didn't like NNS much I won't repurchase and it's a bit more expensive than SM.
