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.

Thanks Christina, I think I might actually try some of this stuff now. I think maybe I was using a shitty one so I didn't see a difference.

Just remember that a little goes a long way, and apply it mostly to the ends (bottom half of hair) and just pat excess on the top (not directly on roots). Like maybe I would use at most a penny-sized or nickel-sized amount, and my hair is pretty long now. I think roughly the Herstyler, Paul Mitchell, and Biolage (matrix) brands work and feel the same in terms of consistency. The BioSilk is REALLY OILY, and that makes all the difference because after straightening I would touch my hair it felt a little oily. The other products just blend into my hair.

Just don't buy the HerStyler one because it's too expensive for what you get, AND it's a small bottle. Definitely not worth it and not even a well-known brand either. And see if you have any relatives or friends who can get you the products for cheaper. They can be pretty pricey if you buy then at retail.
