They are supposed to work excellent for dry hair

I just tried it last week. No great change, which is a shame. It felt a bit better for a few hours but not that much of a difference to normal conditioner.

I didn't go a heat treatment though, because I wear UTS and this would shrink when exposed to heat.

How are you planning to use Silicon Mix? Do you have lace or UTS?

I think they work better on "bio" hair than hair system hair. Just anecdotal comments I hear from other folks in the business.

Be careful of marketing hype folks..
Product name spelled silicon ( e missing ) different meaning...

I have tried the zip-lock deep condition (suggested by Hair Direct) with silicon mix bamboo. It made the hair soft and manageable, but the effect only lasts for one week.

If the hair has no remaining cuticle layer, there is nothing to hold onto the product. It will come off rather quickly. Good quality Remy hair is th best way to start.

That is so true, after a week the hair develops a coarse texture. I originally thought removing the cuticle layer was essential to the process, does this vary per supplier?

Different qualities of hair have different levels of remaining cuticle. Remember that there are many suppliers of hair around the world that supply hair to the factories. It really depends... it's hard to tell.
