Avanti Silicon Mix Intensive Hair Deep Treatment 16Oz

Product Information

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. Sometimes conditioners, grease, gels, leave-ins, pomades and even certain shampoos leave residue on our hair shaft that prevents us from getting the ultimate benefit from deep treatments. So, the first step of reaping the benefits from your deep treatment is to thoroughly clean your hair.

Enter: atrActiva’s Multivitamin Treatment, La Reina of long-term moisture. atrActiva’s Multivitamin Treatment’s plentiful nutrients (it includes Vitamins A, D, E and K) make it the ultimate, nourishing underlayer. That shampoo is really good for preventing buildup. It cleanses thoroughly without drying out your hair and works well with Bambu Treatment. Silicon Mix Conditioner: Your Newest Must-Have Product You’ll have shinier hair before you know it. What is silicon mix conditioner? Every so often, we take a look at top haircare ingredients and see why they work so well – or don’t. 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.

Silicon Mix Ingredients: Mineral Oil​

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 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. Also, because they’re designed to be rinsed out vs allowed to dry on the hair, there might be issues with residue and flaking. And since this is a conditioner, that means the citric acid is keeping the pH pretty low, close to your hair’s natural pH of 3.67, to make your cuticle scales lie smooth and shiny. A vertical column in the periodic table. Members of a group typically have similar properties and electron configurations in their outer shell. Don’t worry, despite the name, this ingredient has nothing to do with the drying alcohols everyone in the natural hair community is warning you away from.To answer your question, as far as we know, there aren’t any fragrance-free/hypoallergenic versions of the top Dominican products. 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. 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%. There are quite a few other Dominican lines that, given your hair responds well to Silicon Mix Bambu, would probably work really well on your hair, too.

Agreed – a little goes a long way when conditioners are this rich, and built in and for tropical climates. Not only that; it’s formulated for longlasting hydration of dry, damaged, hard-to-smooth hair. If you’re struggling to find a conditioner that actually absorbs into your low porosity hair, atrActiva Multivitamin is it; its silky micro-emulsion is designed to sink into resistant textures that most conditioners fail to penetrate. It’s fine to use every washday. As long as you shampoo regularly, and rinse the treatment all the way out, you should have no problems with buildup. It’s a rich treatment, but because of the way it’s formulated, it doesn’t actually leave a lot of residue.

Silicon Mix Ingredients: Water

Oh, and all of this has to work under the heat of a Caribbean sun and in tropical-level humidity, in a country where hair textures run the gamut, just in case that wasn’t enough of a challenge. The best way to ensure that your hair gets thoroughly clean, (and to prevent tangling) is to section your hair. Wind it up it into 4 parts, and shampoo each section separately (big twists, or slide-in clips usually facilitate ease in unwinding and help hold hair well). 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. After using a towel to blot the water droplets out of your freshly shampooed hair, start with your first section and generously apply atrActiva Multivitamin Treatment along the perimeter of the section, from scalp to tips, squeezing it through the section before taking smaller subsections, and gently working it through. This way, atrActiva begins detangling your hair before you divide the sections further. Continue to ensure atrActiva is applied from the root to the ends of your hair.

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.
