Is this the same as biolage matrix conditioning balm continuous moisture for dry, stressed hair?

Not even close. Mucinex (pills) is an expectorant, to loosen phlegm so you can cough it out (turns a dry cough into a productive cough). Biolage is a hair care product.

No it is not. Not even close. This product is in tablet form and is a phlegm/mucus elminater.

until I spotted it here, just now, I have always had to buy at a hair salon. I used Biolage for color treated hair, but when my hairstylist recommending smoothing oil during summer months ( which I do use during humid days in the summer) I spotted this and tried as well. I have super thick wavy hair, which drives me nuts in the summer, as frizzes/kinks when real humid. Was swapping to biolage for winter months, but now I just use this year round. I

I think that "bio silk therapy" is the official name of this line of products which includes serum, shampoo, conditioner, heat protectant, etc. The serum is an excellent frizz tamer. Biology silk therapy is the brand name, serum is the specific product you are referring to. Hope that helps!

Hello Barbara, I know that they were all great ingreadients as I need moisture for my hair and this products did really well. I have not re-ordered as i got a gift of "It's A Ten" leave in, and that is a top one also. Stick with oils as well like the argan and moraccan, on wet and dry hair. Makes a big difference for my naturally thick curly hair, if that is what you also have? Good luck and have fun shopping. Also to wash I have been stuck on WEN $$ at first but you can wait for when you need more product. I will now use nothing else.

Yes! It's a really great product. I condition my hair and it turns out soft, moisturized and manageable.

No, it's just a moisturizing conditioner, but it is fabulous!!!! I love, love, love this product!!!

It's the same product. The description is somewhat misleading. This does not relax curls......it's not a chemical straightener. It's just an after shampoo comb thru product that helps control the frizzies. It doesnt make the hair feel coated or weighed down and it makes your blow-out look sleeker.

NO technically it is not, but it can double as one. It is a styling aid, a hair smoother, but it is not sold as a conditioner. Try using the Brazilian Blowout Hair masque once a week if you want a great conditioner. My stylist says she actually uses a tiny bit as a leave in conditioner sometimes. Hope this helps :)

Yes, this is true. This is the cleanser/conditioner I use for my 3b/3c curls. Very healthy for your hair.

Yes, this is the same product (48 hr. sustainable volume spray). I also have very fine thinning hair and it works better for me than anything else I have tried. Any conditioner just makes my hair more limp. Most volumizers and root lifters make my scalp itch. I use this Alterna product lightly and it definitely boosts the volume of my hair.

Can't tell the difference. It feels and smells the same as the salon-grade Matrix that my hair tech uses.

I am not 100% sure since my hair is natural. However, It should give you plenty of moisture while you are transitioning. I was using their product line as I was transitioning and it helped.

No it is not. If you have course and curly hair that is prone to frizz, then this product is not strong enough on its own to minimize the effects of environment and damage on your hair. The Calming Creme is for course and curly hair prone to frizz. You put it on before styling and it will control the effects of environment (humidity) and damage (split ends) on your hair throughout the styling process and the day. If that is the type of hair you have, then this is a better companion product. If you need a boost in shine after work before going out, or to control a few fly aways, the DeFrizz (non-oil based) will give your hair the fresh look it needs to you can keep going. I'd like to point out that although N. Lahman said it feels like oil, it is not oil based. It's silicone based, so it doesn't make your hair look greasy or stringy, it's light-weight (the curl-creme is heavier) so it helps maintain natural body without the weight of a heavy frizz control product. If you don't have course curly hair, but semi-curly or wavy hair like me, then the product alone with the right techniques will keep the frizz away for a short while, but reapplication is necessary unless you combine it with other products. I like to combine it with Kevin Murphy Motion Lotion if I'm going wavy curly or with BB Thickening Spray and and Kevin Murphy Young Again if I'm going straight. I always reapply some after I've styled my hair. Because it's not oil based, you can be a tad bit more liberal with use. So if you have found success with the Calming Cream, then this is a great add on for mid-day or 2nd day touch ups. If you have thinner more naturally wavy curly hair, then this might be just as good without the added weight of the heavier cream.

If I comb my hair after applying the product, then let it air dry, my hair is less frizzy but still curly. There is no stiffness like there sometimes is with mousse or gel. Like someone else said, if you use too much smoothing serum, hair can feel a little greasy. My hair is very thick and a little longer than shoulder length and I use a little more than a quarter size.

Yes. I never have issues with my hair being dry. This product dried it out.

There is hydrolyzed wheat protein and silk, towards the bottom of listed ingredients. I'm not a chemist, but maybe the different alcohols, the water, and "puffed up" animal proteins work towards hydrating hair. FYI: use small dime sized amounts before blow drying/ironing, cause it reacts to heat.

Never tried daily conditioner because I have really long hair that needs extra moisture. I use masque which serves the same purpose but even more hydrating. Very good for swimmer's hair or dry hair.
