Reader Review of the Day: BioSilk Silk Therapy Hair Treatment

I used BioSilk for a while in college.

I used BioSilk for a while in college. I liked it, but I hadn't thought about it in a couple of years, and I certainly wasn't aware of what was in it when I used it. Reviewers, though, have noted that the Silk Therapy Hair Treatment ($24) apparently has a lot of hair-drying alcohol in it. Reader ceraes says:

"This product smells good but has tons of alcohol in it. I stopped using it for a while and the serum settled at the bottom, so when I went to go and pour it I got a watery alcohol substance. Of course, once you shake the product it works fine, but that just goes to show you how fragrance can hide how much alcohol is really in this product."

Let's Get Something Straight, Part III

Welcome back to Let's Get Something Straight, my three-part series on products for straight hair.

Welcome back to Let's Get Something Straight, my three-part series on products for straight hair. (For more ideas, check out part one and part two.) Since smooth sleek hair is so highly coveted, there are tons of products to help combat frizz and fly-aways. Just remember that whatever you choose to buy, please keep your hair protected from excessive heat and stay away from styling products that contain alcohol; that's the kiss of death if you want to keep your hair shiny and soft.

Göt2b Crazy Sleek Hot Smooth Iron & Blow-Dry Lotion ($5.99) is a straightening lotion that forms barrier on your hair to protect it from heat damage caused by blow dryers and flat irons. Spray on damp hair and work it through from roots to ends.
