Avanti Silicon Mix Intensive Hair Deep Treatment 16Oz

Product Information

Now, some of what you’ve heard is true; this ingredient is extracted from crude oil. However, the kind of mineral oil that ends up in your conditioner or leave in isn’t just some petrol byproduct. Despite the negativity this ingredient gets from plenty of naturals, modern cosmetic grade mineral oil is highly purified, with no nasties and comes from a very specific part of the oil that is isolated and refined just for cosmetic and medicinal purposes. Naturally derived from palm kernel and coconut oil, cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol – the good kind that doesn’t dry out your hair or scalp. It behaves completely differently to short chain alcohols, like ethanol or methanol. A vertical column in the periodic table. Members of a group typically have similar properties and electron configurations in their outer shell. This preservative works in coordination with diazolidinyl urea​ to ensure you get broad spectrum protection from microbes that want to spoil your jar of treatment. It’s especially good for yeasts and molds and is used in tiny amounts – under 0.1%.

This Silicon Mix-atrActiva Multivitamin Treatment works fantastic on Remy hair as well, so if you want to extend the life on your weave then keep a lookout for your step-by-step post coming soon. To answer your question, as far as we know, there aren’t any fragrance-free/hypoallergenic versions of the top Dominican products.

This week, we’ll be looking at not just one ingredient, but a whole formula. And what better place to start than with the crema de la crema of Dominican conditioners, Silicon Mix. Yup, that little jar in the colours of ​la bandera and sunshine ; the one that put the DR on the map as a haircare haven. Yet most of the ingredients on here can be found in other conditioners with nowhere near the level of performance. So what’s the secret? As any formulator can tell you, it’s all in the ingredients, but it’s not just the ingredients. That is, a good product will have a collection of ingredients that work together as a team, each of them included for the support they bring to others in the formula, not just their function on the hair. This is the proprietary mix of aromas that give Silicon Mix its distinctive, slightly musky scent, reminiscent of the vetiver that grows on the island. The actual components of cosmetic fragrances don’t have to be listed on the label unless they contain an irritant. But like most cosmetic fragrances, it likely contains a mix of aromatic components derived from natural essential oils and synthetics. To get the best out of these two conditioners, you don’t mix them; you treat them like paint and layer. While mixing won’t result in flaking or clumping, these two Dominican conditioners work best together when you plaster your hair with one on top of the other. Since atrActiva Multivitamin Treatment is a super-moisturizer, and Silicon Mix is a super-sealer your hair gets the most benefit when layering Silicon Mix over atrActiva, on freshly washed wet hair. This way you’ll be moisturising with atrActiva Multivitamin Treatment, and sealing with Silicon Mix Treatment. Aqua, Cetyl Alcohol, Cetrimonium Chloride, Mineral Oil, Stearyl Alcohol, Glycerin, Fragrance, Dimethicone Copolyol, Cyclomethicone, Keratin, Diazolidinyl Urea, Iodopropynyl Butylcarbamate, Ceramide, Citric Acid.

Dimethicone copolyol is a water-soluble silicone, which helps the more hydrophobic ingredients in this conditioner blend easily with the water-loving ingredients. It also helps make the conditioner easier to rinse from your hair.Comb through each section, and massage* scalp for up to 5 minutes. Then cover with a plastic cap for at least 15 minutes without heat, 10 max with heat. (*Skip the massage, if you have high blood pressure or have been advised accordingly by your doctor.)

That emolliency is one of many reasons why cetyl alcohol is one of the most popular ingredients in hair conditioners. Looking at its primary position in this formula, you can see cetyl alcohol’s role as an emulsifier, blending water and ingredients that are usually water-hating like silicone and oils together.

I am trying to revive some of my babies,(wigs). I am a wig maker and soon to start a YouTube channel on wig care! I am definitely going to try the silicone mixes to revive and care for my synthetic wigs, human hair wigs as well as my hairpiece Creations By Lillie (L). There is a leave in to the Silicon Mix Bambu Nutritive Treatment you could try instead. You can find it at the link below: The percentage of the world reserves located in the country with the largest reserves. The higher the value, the larger risk there is to supply. To be fair, there aren’t any truly hypoallergenic products in the world; there’s such a range of potential allergens that there’s no way to say for sure that one ingredient won’t cause problems for everyone. Most people don’t realise this, but because of this ingredient, Silicon Mix is a protein treatment. On most hair, this conditioner acts more like a moisture treatment, despite it containing keratin, the same protein your hair is made of.

This helps make your hair stronger and more resilient, especially after heat damage, colouring, relaxers, Keratin Straightening Treatments, and other damaging chemicals. Keratin is only needed in small amounts, hence its position in the ingredients list. Did it kinda surprise you, the fact that there were no exotic actives or “hot”, trending ingredient on this list? Us too. If you’ve ever seen Silicon Mix revive weaves that were destined for the trash, or smooth resistant hair into a sleek Dominican Blowout or silk press, you’d swear this conditioner had some kinda magic dust sprinkled into it. You won’t actually notice any acid effects on your hair, though: As its spot on the ingredients list indicates, citric acid is only present here in tiny quantities. Like in many water-based products, it’s used as a buffer, to help the manufacturer control the pH of the product. Commercial use of the Images will be charged at a rate based on the particular use, prices on application. In such cases we would ask you to sign a Visual Elements licence agreement, tailored to the specific use you propose.One problem: I had a seevere reaction to it. Probably the perfume in it. My entire body broke out in hives and my scalp feels raw and itchy. It’s difficult, but with the help of a dermatologist or allergist you might be able to narrow down which ingredients are triggering the reactions. Chemically, cetyl alcohol does have an -OH group, which is what technically makes it an alcohol, but that’s about the only thing it has in common with what we conventionally think of as alcohols. Cetyl alcohol doesn’t have the same acrid smell, it’s a solid, not a liquid, and not only is it not drying, it’s one of the most moisturising ingredients around. Rinse thoroughly and enjoy your super moisturised, super smooth, super fortified hair! Using these two superconditioners in combo should leave your tresses sublime for up to a week. Repeating this treatment weekly will allow your hair to accumulate the benefits of each treatment, for longer, stronger, shinier tresses.
