Ok ya'll I found that miracle product that makes my unit as fresh, soft, silky and a new as it was when it first popped out it's bag! This little jewel call Simply Stylin' is a gift from God! It's a pure silicone serum that is used on hair. I found it's website while searching for other Silicone products as an alternative to Silicon Mix. I bought the samples ($2) on Monday and they showed up in my mail box today. So, since my week old unit was looking rough (by rough I mean, stiff, matted, dry, dull, and tangled) I descided to go to the lab! Here are my steps: 1) Bleach Bath my unit (seriously use Clorox I know others will debate on this but, it's the only bleach that actually works for my Holly units) 2) Shampoo with Dove Intensive Moisturizer Shampoo 3) Condition with a mix of Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, and Dove Intensive Conditioner. Nuke in the micorwave for a minute in 30 sec interavals. Let sit in bag for 3 minutes. FULLY rinse out with luke warm water. 4) Spritz on some Shine Pearl Intive leave in Serum ($1 at Dollar Genral)
5) Evenly distribute about 2 oz. (The whole sample bottle) of the Simply Stylin’ Silk Serum through out the hair.
6) Blow dry on Med. Low heat. And if a straight unit run the flat iron over it and BAM! It'll look like you just bought a new unit.
And Ladies I'm being for real with this stuff. At first I didn't think it would be that great because as I was putting it on, I didn't see much difference, but baby when I ran my regular old flat iron across it that hair was looking so kinda good! I was like DAMN! I couldn't stop smile and running my fingers through it. It has a very polished finished and it's not greasy feeling either!
So I hope this helps some of ya'll!

Thank you for posting a detailed and thorough outline of how you brought your hair back! Your hair does look silky and sleek now, for sure. I will say this: there are LOTS of pure silicone stylers out there! Many of them are fantastic. I've never tried this one. Another great one is called Got2Be Glossy --- pure silicone and usually under $5 in the drugstore. Also, I have noticed that silicone used in conjunction with a flat iron (whether bleach bathed or not) can be enough to revitalize the hair. Thanks again for sharing.

No problem Sexi but no, it's definatly a major difference. I used the Coconut oil before with my unit when I washed it the first two times and it didn't look nothing like this lol but yea, try the samples out first and see if ya like it...I know you will!

| Just wanted to let you know, I ordered the Simply Stylin, both serum and spray on Saturday and it was delivered today! The serum product bottle must have a hole in it, about 1/4 of the product had leaked all over the envelope it was delivered in. I immediately called the supplier, he was extremely nice and is sending me a new bottle today. NOW THAT IS GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Btw, this product is wonderful and smells great too. Thanks Countessrim for sharing this info. |

I'm sure Simply Stylin' is a wonderful product, but I can't get down with their marketing tactics.. Last year their "marketing" team spammed this forum and BHM by using a number of "fake" members to PRETEND like they were making a product recommendation.. This is a personal choice for me.. Not knocking the product at all.. Like I said, I'm sure it's a great product.. I just didn't like the deception they chose to use when marketing the product.. I don't need to be bamboozled in order to sell product.. |

Yep.. It's true.. All of those fake members were suspended here and their posts were removed. The posts are STILL on BHM, but those fake members stopped posting after I put up a number of posts calling them out.. (Like this one: http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=83037&KW=Simply+Stylin - Simply Stylin is Simply Stankin'! ) Here is one of the MANY threads the SImply Stylin' crew started where all their little "fake" members were posting about the product: http://forum.blackhairmedia.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=82859&KW=Simply+Stylin&PN=1 - Simply Stylin' - Free Shipping. The first several "members" in this post are Simply Stylin' reps posing as members.. Like I said, I'm not knocking the product or how good it is.. I'm sure it's a nice product and works well, but I don't like companies who use LIES to attract customers.. Again this is a personal choice, and in the name of being informed consumers, I just wanted to report it to the forum.. |
