Silk Elements Mixed Silk

[knt1229]

Has anyone tried this? If so what were your experiences?

Supposedly it's a Mixed Chicks knockoff and the line has a shampoo, leave in, and conditioner.

I tried the Leave In Conditioning Creme and I hated it. I used it on clean wet hair. I twisted my hair and let air dry. When I untwisted I had white flakes in my hair. And my hair had a dusty dry look but it actually wasn't dry.

The smell is another problem for me. It's very perfumy. I smelled this mess all day and it was so strong I was tasting it in my mouth. A waste of $8. I am going to try it with a wash n' go and see if it works any better.

I love this deep conditioner!! I like it better than the Mixed Chicks

I love the leave in for my daughters hair. She has 3a hair and it really makes her curls pop. Didn't do a darn thing for my 4a curls although this product has tons of slip.

I didn't like it. It has a lot of slip and made my curls pop but the smell is very strong (like cheap perfume). When my hair dried it felt and sounded like hay. It also left behind flakes (and it was the only product in my hair).

I got this stuff yesterday and HATE IT!!!!!!!!! I washed my hair last night and applied this mess and let it air dry. I cannot wait to get home to wash it out. The smell has me ready to gag! It is WAY TOO STRONG and it is flaking. Thumbs down on this for me.

I have the leave-in. I've used it for twistouts. It doesn't provide enough moisture for my hair and I did end up with white flakes.

Like AimWard mentioned my hair felt and sounded like hay.

Luckily I didn't pay for it. I got it as a free gift when I renewed my Sally's card. I could have chosen any Ion or Silk Elements product up to $7.99 as a free gift and I chose that one. I'm glad though because I had been wanting to try it. Now I know not to buy it again.

I love the deep conditioner but the leave in suck.....

 

[MsChelle]

I may try the deep conditioner but the leave in left a lot to be desired. The longer the day goes on I keep hoping the smell will die down but it hasnt.

There was a thread on this line when they first came out and the reviews were bad so I never tried it.

My hair is the opposite. Hates the DC, loves the leave-in. It leaves my hair super soft & my defines my curls well.

I love silk elements mixed silk!!! I reviewed it HERE.

The leave in works great for me. I have gotten the white flakes a few times, but when I use it on clean hair with nothing else I love it

I use all 3 and love them! It makes my curls pop. I don't like the smell but it didn't stay in my hair all day. It dissipates. The only thing is that my whack patch in the crown laughs at it. I have to use KKKC to make those curls stay defined and not become a frizzy mess.

I used the shampoo and deep conditioner. The shampoo wasn't too stripping, and the deep conditioner provided a lot of slip and made my curls pop. I didn't use the leave-in (too many negative reviews).

I will be buying it again.
