If you’ve ever read the ingredients list of hair care products, you’ve probably noticed that most hair care products contain silicones, which give your hair instant shine and smoothness. But have you ever wondered what these ingredients actually do to your hair? Silicones may make your hair smooth in an instant, but their long-term effects are not as beneficial as they seem at first glance.
What are silicones?
Silicones are synthetic substances found in many hair conditioners, shampoos, and styling products because they create a smoother, shinier surface for your hair. To achieve this result, silicones form a dense layer on your hair, preventing it from naturally breathing and absorbing nutrients. The result is hair that initially looks healthy and shiny, but in reality, it’s dry and lifeless.
In addition, silicones are not water-soluble, which means they stay in your hair and start to build up over time. Over time, they make your hair feel heavy, lifeless, and irritate your scalp. Silicones that accumulate on the scalp clog hair pores, prevent the absorption of nutrients and air movement, and cause itching, dandruff, or even hair loss. Heavier silicones are particularly problematic because they do not break down in nature or in the body, so they are not only harmful to the hair but also to the environment.
By looking for the word ending “conol” or “cone” in the composition of cosmetic products, such as Dimethicone, which is widely used in hair care, you can easily avoid cosmetic products containing silicones.
