『Review』Biosilk: Silk Therapy Serum

Hello lovelies! 

So I've gained a ton of followers since my Black Friday haul post. I'd just like to say, thank you to everyone for all the kindness! ;v; I'd never expect myself to hit 40 follows so soon! *A* I hope you all continue to stick with me as I journey through the world of beauty. <3

Anyways, today we'll be reviewing an amazing find I stumbled upon at Costco!

This enormous bottle of 12 oz. was being sold at a price of $24! Don't get me wrong, I'm quite the cheapster when it comes to buying items. Super hesitant, since I wasn't even sure if it would work, I tossed this in my shopping cart. 

Once I got home, I immediately googled the price. When I saw that it was a whooping $60 in salon, my heart skipped a beat at what an amazing deal I got! 

Now, was it worth it?

Let's get on with this review!

Claims/Instructions

"Silk Therapy is the original weightless, leave-in silk replenishing and reconstructing treatment to repair, smooth and protect all hair types. 

Direction: Shake well before use. Place a small amount of Silk Therapy in the palms and apply from the scalp to the ends. May be used on wet or dry hair or skin. Use as often as necessary. Not tested on animals."

Active Ingredient

Sericin/Silk Amino Acid (read more):

The sericin binds with the keratin already in our hair, creating almost a layer of protection against moisture loss. The proteins also penetrate the hair to strengthen damaged areas.

Texture

Gah, I'd like to apologize for lighting on this picture. The product is extremely clear and I just could not get a good angle on it. ;A; 

It feels kinda sticky, but not the type that makes you want to wash it off. Sort of like oil, but less dense!

When being poured from the bottle, it runs rather quickly. The first time I used it, I ended up having wayyyyyy too much.

Smell

This is actually a really hard smell to define into words! I've been sniffing it for the past minute and still at a stump-

It smells slightly...medical almost? Like some sort of herb, but mixed with generic salon shampoo.

Now that I'm analyzing it more, it even has a slight scent of alcohol and mint!

Sniffing this can't be good for me-

It doesn't smell bad, but it's very fragrant. It's one of those hit or miss scents. 8D Some people will love it, and some will absolutely hate it. I love this kind of scent because it's so fresh and different!

Before: 

My hair is actually already relatively healthy! I currently have no split end and it's usually never frizzy. However, it is very corse and doesn't get soft easily. :'< 

After:

Oh.

My.

God.

I seriously couldn't stop touching it! It was literally soft like silk and flowed gracefully down my back. A little amount of this will go a long way. If too much is applied, it does become heavy and oily. I found myself touching my hair over and over again, even after a few days from applying it. My hairstaches never felt so glamorous- LOOL

Final Thoughts

I think the serum did actually heal my hair! I've been using it for about the week, applying every other day after shampooing and conditioning my hair. When I sleep, my hair almost never itches my neck anymore. It's really soft and fluffy, even against sensitive areas like my cheeks. I feel like it had also given my hair a healthy shine; one that wasn't oily, but with volume. The matte, brown color my hair usually is seems to be slowly being replaced with a rich, redish dark chocolate color. This product worked wonderfully on my hair type. <3

Pros

• Weightless
• Not oily or heavy
• Repairing properties
• Leaves my hair super soft
• Color treating
• Beautiful shine and volume
• Minimized product usage/will last for a long time

Cons

• Expensive (no longer at Costco. :'<)
• Distinctive smell (Again, hit or miss)

Would I repurchase? 

If it was on sale again, yes! I feel like this 12 oz. bottle will be lasting me for at at least 6 months though!

Final Score: 9/10

Thank you for reading! <3 I hope you all have a great day and found this helpful!
