Silicone – it makes your fingers move through your hair while shampooing and makes your hair silky soft – for now…
Silicone is a petrochemical derivative used to give products a “slip” factor– just like mineral oil (the second leading cause of skin-aging after sunlight). It seals moisture in – and prevents humidity from causing your locks to frizz. However, that sealing action seals moisture out of your hair, because the sealing action is long-term. It starts turning to a plastic consistency at around 40 degrees celcius (bath water temp) so heating tools, like a blow dryer, over it is lethal.
Silicone is a waxy, plastic-like substance that makes your hair feel like it needs another wash. Your hair also feels and looks oily way too soon after washing it. The only solution is to stop using silicone.
It’s carcinogenic and is one of the main reasons for oily, yet moisture-dry hair. It causes splitting and a host of scalp problems. It’s also the reason you see smoke when you use your flat iron or blow-dry. Why is it everywhere? It’s cheap.
Your hair without silicone? After about one to four months (when the silicone residue is finally off) your hair is lighter, weightless and shiny – and there are alternatives to silicone, which leave zero long-term coating.
Naturalmente produces a product called Macassar, which is made of sea-sand (silica) and quartz crystal. You have the smoothness of silicone – but with a difference… Macassar is also a leave-in restructuring fluid treatment. So not only is it making your hair pretty – it’s also good for your hair. The excess pulverises in sunlight and the whole lot is water soluble – so rinses right out.

Great artical, I unfortunately had some problems printing this artcle out, The print formating looks a little screwed over, something you might want to look into. 596
