Doing some research online this is what I found:

Miko Branch, co-owner of Miss Jessie's Salon in Brooklyn, NY, says Miss Jessie's Silkener is a popular option for women who may not be completely comfortable with the transition from straight to curly or kinky hair.

"Those who need a little hand holding may look into a silkener because it gives you a shinier, smoother curl pattern," says Branch, who has gone natural over he past year. "It's a happy medium between completely natural and completely relaxed."

The silkener is a chemical process. We use sodium hydroxide, which is commonly known as lye, and we put it in typically natural hair in order to stretch it out. There has been a lot of controversy about silkeners and chemical processing in the natural hair community. But I think the reason it remains such a popular service is because it really helps people to get what they want, that curly hair sass,閳?Titi Branch, co-owner of explained.

So if you閳ユ獧e still curious about silkeners, Titi explained it all. An average silkener costs $300 and lasts for four months. 閳ユ窔t liberates some women in a sense, because they can just wet their hair, use the product, and just air dry. Whereas before they might have needed to spend the time shingling their hair to achieve the same look. I mean, I understand what people are saying. They have a legitimate issue with it. But for many women, natural hair is very labor intensive. Most of our clients, when they come to the salon, they閳ユ獧e here three to four hours. It閳ユ獨 not just shake and go. You see with the coiling, what needs to be done to get it to look that way. That閳ユ獨 minimum three hours. It looks great, and it can last two weeks閳?but it takes time to make it look that way,閳?she says.

A silkener is basically another name for a texturizer IMO. As far as shingling, a few ladies on here have done that method so they could probably help. I don't think it's necessary to use Miss Jessie's products to shingle either.
