Ads on TV will not stop: Frank Provost we touts his mask without silicone Panthen launches Aqua-Light , new skincare range made it even without this "cursed" ingredient. So the question arises: silicone is it that bad? If this can guarantee me to have breasts or lips hottie Angelina Jolie, why is it so bad for my hair?
be clear, silicone is not harmful or toxic to the hair! Besides, remember the good times and for all: the hair is dead (bad news indeed: our hair, like our fingernails, is actually composed of dead cells). Therefore no risk of poisoning or intoxication of the hair.
Silicone moreover some advantages : it the hair shaft. It makes therefore softer and shinier. At touchdown, the difference is obvious.
Yes, but here it is: the silicone has also many disadvantages:
- Silicone is a very large molecule so it weighs down the hair. Fine hair does not support them.
- Silicone is fat. And it has two consequences: because it is fat, your hair becomes a real magnet "dirt" where everything sticks to dust, pollution, cigarettes, etc ... And because it is fat, you should wash your hair more often.
- The silicone and rinses off easily done "barrier". Even after several shampoos, silicone can continue gainer in the hair. So, the products you want to enter (masks, coloring, moisturizers) months work well. This is the bane of colorists hairdressers.
Ca fait donc pas mal d’inconvénients…et des inconvénients de taille ! Comment choisir un produit sans silicone ? Soit la marque est assez claire et le clame sur son pack. Sinon, cherchez les ingrédients terminant par « -cone », « -conol » ou « -siloxane » dans la liste d’ingredients.
Personnellement, j’aime bien les produits Living Proof car ils hydratent bien malgré any and texture could be expected to contain silicone (not!). For cons, I avoid the bio ... it leaves hair soft and less harsh ... And in case of absolute necessity (brushing nickel, crazy party, wedding) I use Kerastase : they contain silicone but better quality and better proportioned.
