Entonces, CHI Silk Infusions is a silk reconstructor, but the directions read, “Apply a small amount into palm of hand and work evenly throughout the hair. Leave in and proceed with styling.

I have also been adding silk proteins to my creme conditioners and I end up with the feeling that you got from the 2+1 Reconstructor. My hair is smooth, glossy and flows like butter.

I usually buy it online, because it’s typically rather expensive, but keep in mind that a little goes a long, long way, even with my thick hair. However, I did see it at Sam’s that one time and have not gone again, so I’m not sure whether or not they carry it on a regular. I usually order mine from Amazon, get a 12oz bottle for about $20 and try to find shipping specials, so I’m not raked over the coals.

BTW, I didn’t like the CHI shampoo for my hair. It was dry and very difficult to untangle.

Anyway, I’m glad you found the directions. You need to wash your hair as soon as you can and apply a deep, moisturizing conditioner. You can even work the coconut, or avocado in, if you don’t have anything on hand.

Your stylist really makes me nervous; granted she may only speak Spanish, but it’s not difficult to make out the word, “reconstructor.” You may want to reconsider going to her, unless she filled the pump jar with a different product when it was empty. So, do some investigating to see whether or not you can determine whether or not she applied a different product. BTW, was the product orange? If so, that was definitely the reconstructor.

As for a leave-in, I swear by CHI Silk Infusions. I have so much of it in storage, one would think that I owned stock in the company. I also use clear serums, such as I.C Fantasia. I avoid the cremes (*check the sidebar on my video), but any clear serum should give you a good gloss. Start with a small amount, starting at the ends and working your way up. You can always add more, but will not be able to remove too much without having to rinse again.

2+1 A RECIPE FOR HEALTHY HAIR

Hair, like the body, needs moisture and protein to stay healthy and conditioned. Sebastian invented 2+1, on original recipe of 2 parts moisture and 1 part protein, to give the hair what it needs-deep intensive hydration, combined with the power of a protein pack. Normal or damaged hair feels conditioned, silky, moisturized and healthy.

Directions: Shampoo hair. Rinse. Apply generously to hair. Wrap hair in plastic bag and place under heat for 10-20 minutes, let cool, then rinse. Or wrap small sections of hair in aluminum foil and tap each one 3-5 times with a hot flat iron. Let cool, remove foil and rinse.
