I have been following the curly girl hair method for over a year now and have tried so many different shampoos and conditioners from just about every brand that is approved through the method. I must say the smooth as silk shampoo and conditioner are by far my favorites. I discovered my hair loves protein and I know everyone is on the line about the type of protein this line uses. I used to put protein drops in my old shampoos and conditioners to get similar results. Due to the chain of supply, certain Giovanni® products may have previous ingredient statements.

Giovanni Styling Glue

Hollywood and Beverly Hills-based hairstylist and salon owner Arthur Guidotti saw a gap in the haircare market. Though there were increasing options available for natural face and body products, our hair wasn’t getting the same attention. In 1979, the brand Giovanni was born. Over time, Giovanni became recognized as a pioneer within the industry. Once Arthur’s son James took over the company, he expanded the line to include over 120 products. Silk — it has the most incredible feel, the most incredible texture. It makes you feel sexy. Desirable. SMOOTH AS SILK ™ Deeper Moisture Conditioner from Giovanni makes your hair feel so smooth, so silky, so amazingly detangled. This colour-safe deep conditioner works only where needed to create a silky-smooth palette. Renewed and ready for your own unique kind of style. SMOOTH AS SILK ™ provides smooth moves indeed.

The brand suggests, these products for deeply moisturizing dry or over-processed hair. That makes sense to me because of the presence of protein. Theseproteins you can either avoid or look for, depending on your hair type. Although hair is made of protein already, those with fine hair or damaged hair may need more protein for strength. Moreover, did you know? Protein is a humectant. Some proteins are good for the hair diet, especially damaged hair. However, normal hair or protein sensitive hair could begin to feel stiff, frizzy, and dry, indicating your hair is getting too much protein. Pro Tips

For reasons out of control, there can be varying differences between product batches. This could mean that ingredients or the product name/appearance may be slightly different. Use products based on your hair needs. If your hair doesn’t need protein, then use protein-free products or balance with protein products to see if that works out better. If you already got this and it doesn’t seem to be working then feel free to sell it Facebook Groups – See Indian Curl Pride When to get it

This is a protein-free, gentle clarifying shampoo – which means unlike other strong shampoos in the market, this shampoo is moisturizing also. It will not strip everything out of your scalp and hair. The Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate ingredients are strong cleansing agents that could potentially be drying, but are not as harsh as SLS.
