If you could only see my hair. If you could feel it. If you had seen my hair without Hot Sauce.
Okay, the low-down: I have very curly (think ethnic, curly, dry, coarse hair) long hair (past shoulders, but not uberlong). My thyroid disease makes it like STRAW in places, nasty and frizzy and rough.
I've used some good products to try and give me silky control--Pantene anti-frizz is okay. BioSilk is lovely. And I thought I'd use BioSilk forever--love the scent, love the result.
Then I bought a flat-iron (12/07) from FHI and I bought Hot Sauce to go with it. I used it and though, "Oh, huge waste of money" on the product. It just didn't do what BioSilk did.
Then I decided to do something: Use twice as much as I had used. (The directions say use a small amount, so I used about the size of a nickel in my palm, which is what I'd use of BioSilk.) I used about a quarter's size or so. I was afraid it'd weigh my hair down and make it look oily or dirty.
TOTALLY DIFFERENT UNIVERSE.
I simply had not used the right amount for my very dry, very curly, very crazy hair. With a larger amount, I didn't even NEED the flatiron. No kidding. No styling lotion (I used to use Paul Mitchell). No hair spray. I just use the Hot Sauce, my 3 inch ceramic-ionic styling brush, and my ionic blow-dryer (not even a high-end model, a cheapie import). And my hair is silk. Pure silk. It's straight, except for a nice wave at the bottom part where there is some layering. It's smooth. It moves. It shines. I can't stop touching it.
And my hairstyle lasted five days without frizzing or recurling. I just added a bit of BioSilk to my hair to add some smoothness and that lovely scent a couple days in. A retouching.
I expect that come the humid months in Miami (it's winter now), that I'll need something for more control against the damages of summer moisture to curly hair, but for now, I can say this stuff rocks like nobody's business.
My hair is BEEEEEEEEEEEEEYOTIFUL. And my husband loves how it feels. And I love how fast I can dry it without all the steps and styling products and flatironing it to get "silky".
Big, big, thumbs up to FHI Hot Sauce. Worth the price tag.
Mir<--with silky hair at last
