My hair skin and nails are extremely dry. I also live in a semi arid state with really hard water, so I only wash my hair once a week. I found the extra hold to be too much. It made my hair feel dirty fast. The silky on the other hand I love. My hair looks good for about 3 days, then instead of soaking wet hair to refresh like other products... (which I might as well wash if I'm soaking my head) I can dampen and lightly reapply and It looks great again.
