So, I gave in and bought the bottle for $10. I have been using the product's sample packages for a while and decided to simply buy the bottle. It works on my hair.
I used it on Thursday evening and left it in for approximately 5 minutes, rinsed and then put Silk Elements Con in my hair for a few minutes in the shower and rinsed. My hair felt just fine.
Today, at exactly one week post wash, my hair feels crappy, but that is because I have been sweating. It also feels a little under moisturized, I must confess. I have put some of my oil mix in it and will wash tomorrow (Friday) after our trip to the pool.
I have avoided going to the hair salon, but I think I will go there next Thursday when Husband is home from work. It will be nice to get my scalp cleaned and get a heated DC.

ANOTHER FAB HAIR WEEK!
I washed my hair on Tuesday to excellent results, again.
I shampooed, then put KOProtein con in my hair for 20 minutes and then Silk Elements Olive Oil Con for 10 minutes
Once washed, i left my hair to air dry for about four hours My hair was silky and straight. I applied moisture mix, Silk Infusion and a little jojoba oil. I also applied castor oil to my scalp the next day and sealed with castor oil pomade My hair looks lovely and feels fabulous.
I am really enjoying the results i am getting from these deep conditioners. My next wash, I will try the same regimen and see if the results are similar. If not, then the following weekend, i will go to Reflexion and get a DC without the blowout.

POST RELAXER WASH
10 days after my relaxer at Reflexions, I washed and conditioned my hair. I used suave tropical coconut shampoo and scrithed the hell out of my scalp.
I then applied aphogees 2 minute keratin reconstructor which I left in for about 15 minutes. After rinsing out, I applied silicon mix bambu for 10 minutes. My hair felt like butter and I was so happy. I let my hair airdry a bit and then I put some moisture mix, a little KODL, and some oil mix. The next morning my hair was still damp but I applied silk infusion and sealed with castor oil pomade.
My hair was gorgeous! Soft yet strong. Hardly any breakage and no shedding. I wonder if this regimen every week would be too much fir my strands. Neverthless, this weekend, I will use the KO protein con and silk elements con. Hopefully, my hair will love it. The weekend after that, I will go back to Reflexions for a deep conditioner.
It's been a great hair week so far. Yay!!

RELAXER UPDATE & NEW SALON
So, after 9 weeks, it was time to get a relaxer and on June 5th, i got one. Being that my last relaxer at Sintia's was whack and that their management insinuated that I was lying about the underprocessing, I opted to go somewhere new. I went to Reflexion instead, located on MLK Blvd.
Nice spot, clean, friendly staff. Lila (sp?) gave me a touch up and could not believe I was barely 2 months post. I used Alter Ego and experienced some burning, but the Lila was very careful and worked hard to not only keep me comfortable, but get my hair straight. The burning was obviously a result of the major scratching I engaged in just the days before.
I got blown out by Rosie/Rosa and she was very careful to not burn my scalp which is a skill no Dominican has exhibited before while doing my hair. Still, my scalp has been itching and I wonder if it is the relaxer or something else. I got a trim and spent a total of $60 because there was a $15 off sale on all procedures. It took the same amount of time as it would have at Sintia's and quite frankly, I don't think I will go back to Sintia's anytime soon, especially since it wasn't like a hair factory at Reflexion.
Currently, I need approximately 1-2 inches to get to APL (AGAIN!) Frustrating as it is, I just have to stay focused. I plan on stretching for 13 weeks until September 4th. I will then try to stretch another 13 weeks with a relaxer on the 4th of December.

MISS KEYS 10 EN 1
My good Lord! What a horrible product.
I purchased this and was so excited to use it only to be disappointed. It did not moisturize my hair, but instead left it feeling crunchy and dry. I am not sure why. I added some oils and then used it on TE's hair, with the same result.
I am not quite sure how I would implement this product into my regimen and therefore, I will not try.

WASH DAY AFTER SWEARING IN
I was sworn in as a US Citizen, yay!!!
Well, I needed to wash up my hair so, I shampooed with Castille Soap and then conditioned with KOProtein condition and left it on for 25 minutes. I then DCd with Silicon Elements Olive Oil for 40 minutes.
My hair felt incredible afterwords. Very strong and I noticed little to no breakage or shedding.
However as a week approached, I started to notice shedding and am preparing to wash and DC with Miss Key 10 en 1. I hope my hair will like it, but we will see. I will simply leave it in for about 35 minutes.

HORRIBLE RELAXER RESULTS
I AM NOT HAPPY WITH MY TOUCH UP RESULTS!!!
The back of my head did not texlax, talk less of relax. I am experiencing breakage and after spending $65 plus $10 in tips, I am far from pleased. I am going to call the salon today and ask for a refund or at least half off on my next relaxer. Will see how that goes.

ANOTHER RELAXER
After 13 weeks, I finally got a touch up yesterday. I used Mizani butter blends and got a heated deep con for 20 minutes, which was nice. As usual, I didn't get a blow out but came home and put some castor oil on my scalp.
My hair looks thin as usual and I am not pleased. Additionally, in some spots, the relaxer did not 'take'. My nape on the right is disgusting and will require a lot of work to build that spot up again. I will give myself a trim and dusting very soon.
This morning, I sprayed my moisture mix in my hair just to add some moisture. Tomorrow, I will likely spray my Keratin mix and follow with the silk infusion. I will keep products to a minimum however and come Friday, my BT usage begins again. I also plan to go get a deep con in 2 weeks and try to that every 2 weeks between now and when I get a relaxer in 8 weeks right before my trip to Nigeria.
My relaxer was done by Margarita, who i would use again
Wash and set was done by Elise, again such a wonderful person
