Silk Elements MegaSilk Moisturizing Treatment Review

Although I have been hearing good things about this product for a while, the $10.99 price tag at Sally Beauty had kept me walking past it on the shelves until now. As you can tell from my previous post, I am somewhat prone to buyer’s remorse and was a bit worried as I made the purchase, because I usually spend $8 or less on conditioners that come in bigger containers, but, happily, no remorse here!
As soon as I opened the bottle, a fruity, candy smell wafted to my nose. At first glance, the consistency of the conditioner made me think of melting butter or cream and on application it smoothly coated my hair. After deep conditioning under my heating cap, I can confirm that the product lives up to its promise of moisturizing and detangling! I usually only comb my hair on wash days after deep conditioning. Since my hair had been in braid/twistouts all week, it was a bit tangled, but the conditioner made the tangles comb out easily and even after rinsing it out, my hair was not only soft (a feat many conditioners can accomplish) but also light, bouncy, and somewhat shiny (something a little more rare for me, given that my hair is somewhat coarse). Although the product promises to strengthen hair, I think its moisturizing qualities are more evident and when adding it to one’s regimen one might also need to make sure to use a light protein the subsequent week or a couple weeks after because it does seem to provide a significant moisture boost.
Although I am not a chemist, a little online research suggests that the ingredients should not be a cause of much concern. Cetearyl alcohol is a mixture of fatty alcohols and thus, not drying. Both behentrimonium methosulfate, an effective detangler and thickener derived from rapeseed oil, and amodimethicone, are relatively mild and do not lead to much buildup. On top of that, glycerin is a well-known and much used humectant.
This product will be added to my growing list of staples. I do wish it came in a bigger bottle, but fortunately I have enough left for at least a couple more treatments!

Ingredients: Water, Cetearyl Alcohol, Behentrimonium Methosulfate, Glycerin, Amodimethicone, Cetyl Esters, Sodium PCA, Fragrance, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Trideceth-12, Silk Amino Acids, Helianthus Annuus (sunflower seed) oil, Chlorhexidine Dihydrochloride, Cetrimonium Chloride, Yellow 5.
