Yep, I like using it on wet hair too. I use it on my hair just before I detangle to get the best results. I don`t want to use it on dry hair because if I put something thick and creamy like that on my dry hair, it makes it dirty.

Thanks Lyris. I`m hoping to get some to try soon. I`m in the process of letting my hair grow so I know split ends are inevitable.

Thanks again.

Hey rrobey. I like using leave-ins on wet hair--before I attack it with my blow dryer. I do that because I dry it straight, and if it gets wet again--be it through water, humidity, or leave-in conditioner--it reverts back to its natural frizzy mess. This, in conjunction with my styling gel and silicone spray make my hair significantly smoother. Hope this helps!

Lyris,
That previous post is for you too. ;) Any advice on the product would be most appreciated.

Thanks.

Kristin,
I`m wanting to try the Beyond the Zone 911 mender, but I was wondering how you used it? I`ve done a little research on it and the directions I found said that it could be used on either wet or dry hair. Which way does it work best, or at least which way have you had best results?

Thanks. :)

Okay, now I`ll go looking for Biotera too! 911, huh? I`ll have to look into that as well.

oops, accidentally pressed the submit button. I was going to say I also saw Biotera at Sally`s and that looks like something I`ll try in the near future too! :-)

Hi Kristen....glad to hear you like Beyond the zone (my reasoning is, if I tell enough people about a product, they like it and keep buying it, perhaps the company won`t discontinue my favorite stuff! :) I looove the 911 stuff and its crazy cylindrical bottle. I wanted to try the hemp conditioner because a friend recommended it....but I opened the top in the store and out came a scent uncannily strong and just like starburst. (I had a bad experience with Starburst about six months ago...but that`s another story.) I was at Penny`s today and I almost bought Matrix sleek look conditioner...but now I`m glad I didn`t after reading your post :-) Something else you might like: Biotera reconstructor, also at Sally. It`s the Biolage conditioner knock-off...and it is wooonderful. I actually like it better, the conditioner is so thick and moisturizing. It goes on sale a lot and I`ve gotten an enormous bottle for six bucks.

Beyond the Zone 911 Hair Mender-supposed to be a knock-off of TIGI`s Ego Boost at a much cheaper price. This is really good stuff! My hair looks much better when I put it in and you only need to use a little bit. It`s wonderful!! Highly recommended. Lyris piqued my interest in these products when she mentioned she liked their oil-free glosser. So I headed over there and checked them out. There are a lot of products there I really want to try!

CitreShine Straightening Balm-awesome stuff too! It has a nice fresh citrusy scent and it really helps to get the wave out. It`s a nice balm that doesn`t seem to be causing much build-up.

Biolage Color Care shampoo-I like this too! It smells FAB and it doesnt strip my hair or my highlights! My hair looks SO shiny!

Biolage Conditioning Balm-totally awesome too! doesn`t weigh my hair down too much and really makes it soft and silky.

Thermasilk Weightless Frizz Fighter-the jury`s still out on this one. I`ve used it with the citreshine and I guess its made my hair a bit less frizzier. Nice scent. I`m gonna try it again tomorrow.

Paul Mitchell Straight Works- My fave straightening balm. I like this one a little bit better than the citreshine because it gives my hair more hold. But it doesn`t smell as nice. Gives me nice smooth straight hair.

Redken All Soft Heavy Cream-I LOVE the smell!! And it makes my hair feel so nice and soft. I haven`t really tried it as a deep conditioner yet, but once I left it in for 3 minutes and my hair was detangled! Can`t wait to deep condition with this one.

Biolage Hydrating-a very nice moisturizing shampoo!

Biolage Detangling solution-much too light for me. Didn`t really detangle.

Biosilk Silk Therapy- I love the scent and it gives my hair some added smoothness and weight. I don`t like to use it too much, though..

Biosilk Shine On- A nice spray for when I flat-iron! It makes my hair extra shiny and smooth.

L`Oreal FreshVive 2-in-1- Love the scent, makes my hair nice and light and gives just the right moisturization.

Kenra Clarifying-A bit drying, but really cleans my hair of build-up.

Nexxus Humectress-Moisturizes my hair, but noticed at the end of the day my hair felt rather dirty.

Matrix.sleek.look-Hated every product in this line. Hated the smell, made my hair look incredibly dull and unstraight.

Well that`s it for now. Just wanted to share.
