Christmas came and went, but I had a surprise package waiting for me today.

Mi familia me quiere muchisimo. My mother knows that I’m always on the hunt for new products. Although, she’s busy with her own list of things to do, she always thinks of me when she sees a product that I might be interested in.

So, I opened the package figuring I had a new pair of gym gloves (I wasn’t very subtle with my hints lol) or a pair of Nike workout pants; I didn’t expect anything that wasn’t on Santa’s list. I did get my Nike pants, a gift-certificate to pick out my own gloves and then I was shocked by the hair products in the box.

My mother packed a jar of Smooth ‘N Shine Therapy – Silk Fusion Sixty-Second Critical Repair. Guess what one of the first ingredients is? You guessed it! Silk amino acids AND pearl extracts. Now, I confess, never heard of pearl extracts, but I’m all over the silk amino acids.

Out of curious, I checked to see if there were anyone else had anything to say about this product. I was surprised that the responses were mediocre, but I’m still going to try it. One thing that I noticed is that it says it’s safe enough to use every week. That means it’s not safe for every day use and for those of us who do our rolos and blowout every other week, we may only want to use it once monthly.

I also got a bottle of Hair So Shine Instant Repair Hair Polisher 8oz, which also contains silk amino acids. The nice thing about both is that both products cost about $5. That’s a heck of a deal for those on a restricted budget, providing they live up to the standards of my beloved CHI.

If you have used either product, please let me know what you think. Sharing is caring
