How do I use Silk Amino Acids?

[peeches]

Hello Ladies,
I ordered a 16 oz. bottle of silk amino acids yesterday from the lotion crafters website and was wondering how much do I add to my conditioners and can I use with anything else like a glycerin and water mixture. I tried using the search button on the forum but it kept kicking back my search with no results.

One other question; can I add it to conditioners that already have some form of protein or is that too much?

Thank you for any replies or links to answers.

I add it to my conditioner, in my home made moisturizer - anything liquid. I believe that some add it to their relaxer too.

I don't believe that you can have protein overload from SAA. I tend to be protein sensitive and don't have any issue putting it in all my products. I eyeball it but some people may have actual formulas to ensure that the PH is not upset.

I'll try and get the thread for you on SAA's but the site keeps freezing up when I try (I think I have it subscribed). I bought the powdered version however, from reading the thread 1 - 2 percent concentration is all that is needed. Some add it to their mascara, relaxer, conditioner, shampoo, lotions, just about everything. I add it to my daily moisturizer blend (SAA and water and Aloe vera juice). I add it to my deep conditoner and to my heat protectant serum. It's already in a couple of my products but what I got from the thread is that you can't overload on it. I will also say that it does indeed leave your hair feeling 'silky.'

That is exactly how I use it.

I also mix it with my MnT detangler spray as a detangling heat protectant!

i put mine in all my stuff:
poo
condish
creamy leave-in
hair gel/cream i use to do my twist-outs


it only needs to be a small percentage of your mixture so i would use about 1/2-1oz per 8oz of product, i plan on buying more in another couple of months. i got mine from lotioncrafters as well. you can also mix it in your facial lotion, toner and body wash!

Wow, thanks ladies! Thank you for the link, Nix08. I have been having problems searching the site ever since the layout changed.

Happy growing!
