Cp-1 ceramide treatment protein repair system

Found by accident on beautynetkorea.com, is it said to be a hair repair treatment containing multiprotein formula with no amino acids, and ceramide. Which gently and effectively cares for damaged hair. This is essentially a protein treatment, and protein as we al know is what makes hair grow and nails and help us repair our muscles.  But it can also make hair softer and repair environmental damage. Heat damage is only reversed by hydration treatments.
 Sadly there was no actual reviews on it, so I went on and did my own research. Many sites claim this to be the number 1 best selling Hair Repair treatment in Korea and I was able to find an English commercial for it. On the site they showed multiple Asian women trying the product and having beautiful results. They even explain how to use it.
But before the review, let's explain what this is supposed to do.
1. Protein and ceramide treatment care.
2. More powerful than treatment and last longer than ampoule (serum).
3. Instant and emergency protein and Ceramide treatment for the rough and severely damaged hair.
4. Hydrolyzed Keratin, Collagen and other contents keep hair healthy and strong.
5. Ceramide protein gives extra radiance to the hair and protect hair from damage.
6. Camellia oil, Argan oil, Jojoba seed oil and other content revives hair's natural radiance and elasticity.
7. Minimized scalp irritation
To use
Wash hair, with only shampoo, remove excess moisture and then place the product directly at your split ends and then work your way up. Living on for 5 to 10 minutes. Then wash through with lukewarm water.
This is a first try at attempting to use this product. I have many other products that claim to do the same thing so I was a little bit skeptical about, you know this actually working. Specially since Asians don't have to have like Spanish course wavy to curly hair. So I didn't expect the results to be as powerful as it would be with someone who has straight and fine to slightly wavy hair. So getting that out of the way, I am a bit impressed. It did not fully repair the damage my hair... obviously. It was just the first try but it did feel like it was doing something. Once I'd work the solution to my scalp, I began to feel a tingling. I did cover my head with a cap like they suggested for better results. Once I actually removed the solution for my scalp, I did feel that my hair was a lot softer. I do have a lot of damage... specially at the bottom of my hair. I'm impressed with the amount of repair that it did it allow the hair to go back to being wavy hair not as Curly as it once was but it's a start. I will continue to use this product and I do recommend this to both of you have serious damage in your hair. I'm so amazed, I even took pictures of before and after. Didn't do much for the puffiness but I have other products for that so I can deal with it.

Silicon mix Hair Treatment

This is one of my holy grail products full time. I'll just started off with the truth I have been using this since forever basically. This is a product actually made in Dominican Republic, which is actually where I'm from. my mother started using this when I was around 3 years old, and her hair is so soft, and so very healthy.
At one point I stopped using this because I wanted to try different things. I have tried: it's a 10 deep conditioner, Aussie 3 minute miracle, John Frieda deep conditioner, Nexxus deep conditioner, L'Oréal repair, Panteen deep conditioner...
Since I have experimented with a lot of different brands many of which I did not mention above, and I have dyed my hair multiple times and straightened it, curled it and damaged it, I know what it takes to call a deep conditioner good.
This has a slightly thined out Texture, the easily helps detangle knots and strengthen the hair. easily coats everything. I wear this one anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the time I have. you don't necessarily have to use it in the shower, your hair just has to be wet and washed you can use a regular conditioner before this but it's not necessary.
Previously my mom had only bought the smaller containers until I found out they were trying to 1 available when I took my vacation to the Dominican Republic. Of which I later found out was available on Amazon for a mere $23 for a whole 60 fluid ounces. But they do have a smaller version available which is 16 ounces.  You can literally last you up to a whole year consistent use. But of course like everything you should always switch things up which is why every once in awhile I'll just use a regular conditioner or I'll try something from my birchbox. Plus if you're feeling like I'm just trying to sell you on something you can actually go and check out the Amazon review which is obviously like a 4.6 cuz its awesome. Lol. I bought the one I currently have in late August and almost 6 months later I have hit 1/3 of the container.  Obviously this is only for me (my mother has her own smaller version) which we tend to accompany by the silicon mix leave in conditioner.
It does have a nice sort of floral scent to it and it is very gooey and gelatinous feeling and it is white.
If you do not want to purchase it online you can find it any Beauty Salon the tend to carry this quite often.
