chi., silk infusion / infra treatment ? Options

[miszxjojo]

can someone tell me which one is better ? i just got my very first hair straightener and i've been told to use the chi products on another forum. and when i was watching some youtube videos on how to straighten your hair, one girl said to use the silk infusion. and when i was at walgreens site, searching for the product, they had the infra treatment. they are both in the same bottle... and i want to know which one works better to protect the straighteners heat from your hair? and also, i use it on dry hair right? what other products would you suggest me using? im chinese and i have long thin black hair x] so uh yeah, suggestions ? i also have conair's 1.5" professional ceramic straightening iron picture & stuff here.

Hmm.. I actually use stuff on my hair before straightening. It makes all the difference for me though, as it makes my hair more silky smooth and shiny after I straighten. If I straighten my hair without put on a serum, it looks straight but my hair starts to look all dry.

I usually use a heat protectant straightening serum of some sort. Usually the serum protects and smooths with shine. I would invest in one if your hair is dry and you want optimal sheen and anti-frizz.

The products I've used before:
- Paul Mitchell Super Skinny Serum (Really good)
- HerStyler Hair Serum - no
- Biosilk Silk Therapy - no
= Biolage Smooth Therapy Smoothing Serum (also highly recommend)

I haven't used the Chi silk infusion, but my mother has it.
