I’m and african american woman and I have not had a perm in about 2 years. I’ll be getting my first dominican blowout Thursday and I’m trying to use the best products that will protect my hair for heat damage and allow thickness. I’ve been researching several products and really thinking about buying nexxus vita tress biotin shampoo cystine treatment condition structure. After reading several answer and question I also need something to protect me against heat damage and
to add mositure. I was looking at a product called CHI silk infusion for heat protect and and nexxus humectress for mositure. please let me know what you think about these products. Also can you please tell me if its salon in Milwaukee Wisconsin that does dominican blow out. please helppppp!

Hola amiga,

Sorry that I took so long to reply. I have been fighting with some computer issues, trying to be patient with my “tech guy”

Anyway, let me start at the bottom. I don’t know of any Dominican salons in Milwaukee (yet), but will see if I can dig up something for ya.

Ok…moving right along…Mija! Have you not been reading my posts?! I LOOOOOOOVE CHI Silk Infusion LOL.
CHI Silk Infusion is a must-have for me, hands down! I use it on my freshly shampooed hair, or when my hair is dry, but needs a little shine or moisture. I love, love, LOVE CHI! This is THE product for heat protection and as an overall leave-in.

Humectress, I used to like a lot, but it tends to make my hair look flaky. It’s good at adding moisture, but who wants to have a swaying head of hair, that looks like it’s full of dandruff, right?

Now, if you can get your hands on Humecto, you have got yourself a serious, deep, moisturizing conditioner. I put it on my hair and leave it for 20 minutes, sometimes over night and I’m never disappointed.

My newest fave is Baba de Caracol. It leaves my hair soft; maintains moisture AND my hair is silky…love this stuff.

Right now, I’m still finishing up my gallon of Creme of Nature Shampoo, but I’m going to take the recommendation of a reader, by trying the KeraKare line of shampoo. I swear by Humecto; I’m sure they will have a shampoo that I love.

Since you’re getting your hair relaxed for the first time in a while, remember this…be gentle. If you handle your hair the same as you would an newborn, you will find that your hair is healthier and happier.

Hope this helps!
