Review: Silk Dreams Shea What! Therapeutic Conditioning Masque 8oz.
Method: I followed the alternate directions on the Silk Dreams website: Separate dry hair into four sections. Apply thoroughly from root to tip. Leave on 30-60 minutes with a plastic cap. Rinse. Do not shampoo. Apply leave-in. This treatment is also recommended as a proactive step for occasions when you know you will be heat styling your hair.
This was my first time not shampooing before a roller set so I was somewhat nervous about if my hair was going to be clean.
The first thing I noticed when I put this in was that it wasn't coating my hair like Aubrey Organics GPB or my other favorite conditioners. My hair was just drinking this masque up. I have found that a little goes a long way with this line so I tried not to waste product by not using too much.
I was so sleepy on Saturday
that I ended up sleeping the whole day with this stuff on 
I woke up the next morning and rinsed it out while detangling in the shower: I was surprised to get slip and softness from this product (I wasn't expecting to like this conditioner because my hair doesn't like shea butter) My hair loves this crap and I couldn't stop playing in my wet hair. This is the way that moisturized hair is supposed to feel... not coated and limp). I do like the scent of this masque but wish that it smelled like the vanilla oatmeal cookie scent like the Cleansing Cream or the Vanilla Silk Cream. I also like the fact that it has so many good ingredients! I am amazed at the product and it has exceeded my expectations. 
I followed up with Silky Soft Leave-in Cream before roller setting and drying under my daughter (Salon hair dryer). My hair remained completely wet until the last 3 rollers of my hair were put on in the back (whereas my hair stayed completely wet during setting time when using Vanilla Silk Cream then Silky Soft Leave-in).
My hair felt so soft and silky that I didn't even bother flat ironing my new growth. The leave in doesn't straighten it-- I was just playing in my new growth so much that I didn't want to straighten it. So sorry that I didn't take a picture. 
A lot of people are asking the owner for a butter and moisturizer but I have been using the Vanilla Silk Cream Moisture Dream Rich Moisture Treatment as a daily moisturizer. It's thick, water based, smells good and melts in my hair without limping my curls. It makes me wonder, what is the difference between a conditioner and a moisturizer? I have also used the Leave-in as a daily moisturizer with the same success. Soon I will try to use the daily conditioner as a moisturizer and post a review.

Anyways it worked out well. I was slathering it on and couldn't feel any products. Luckily I got out of the shower and looked in the mirror, I could see there was plenty of product. Otherwise I was about the use the whole jar LOL. I continued to work it into my hair and it did lather. It rinsed cleanly and my hair felt lovely.
Tiffers, you're crazy. Tonight will be the first night that I am using the Destination Hydration. I'm kind of scared because I am not sectioning my hair before washing (I haven't been doing this since I started using the Silk Dreams line). I really hope it gives slip like the other ones.
:skitzo:
It lathered up nicely and cleaned really well, but because I used too much, it wasn't as moisturizing as I'd like. I'll use way less the next time I use it. 
oke:
