That’s why I’m finally adding them back in my hair as a finishing/sealing step! I realized my hair was getting all tangled once it was dry because moisture was leaving too quickly. It was like the elements were fighting my hair the second I stepped outside. I still use silicone free conditioner/leave-in because my hair responds well to it. And using sulfates every once in a while doesn’t seem to bother my hair as long as I condition well after without silicones, and then add the silicones on after all my products are on!
Damn girl!! I feel like this was a personal response to my video... you tryna fight?! 🤣🤣 JK! JK! Glad you shared your personal experience. I honestly used silicone back in the day too and my curls looked poppin BUT since my channel, I stopped promoting them because most of my audience is transitioning and like you mentioned, it’s best to avoid them while your hair is damaged. ANNNND now that I’ve cut them out, my hair is MORE poppin now than ever before & I now see that my curls weren’t at their full potential back in the day. But that’s me and once again, like you said, the best thing for anyone to do is TRY things on your OWN hair to see what works best. 😁👍🏽 Nice video. ❤️
Bianca! Omg I just watched your video and I promise that was not a personal response lol. I actually spoke about this on my IG stories two weeks ago and then filmed this video right after, but hadn't had a chance to edit because I was in LA. I got so many messages from girls saying they were getting shamed because they use silicones since everyone is always preaching TCM so I wanted to share my personal experience with silicone over the years especially since I still heavily use them and my curls are absolutely fine. I just felt the convo on silicones has always been one sided and they are actually not bad at all IF you educate yourself. Thanks for watching girl!
I've been silicone free for 4 years until last november as I was following the CG method. All I got was a thinner, dry mess passing for her. My texture went from 3B to 2B. Several medical bills later, a health diagnostic and YT videos I realized this damn method was the culprit. I went back to the old days and my hair is so happy. I just hope I can still get the hair I lost back.
One thing that I don't understand is "hair health." Hair is not a living, breathing organism. It's a dead pile of proteins. So how do silicones "suffocate" a hair strand? You can't suffocate a rock or a dead body, so...? You can dress it up and make it look different, but it's not healthy or unhealthy. Hair "health" just refers to visual appearance. I've also used sulfates and silicones my whole life, and I never had hair loss from it (and nobody I knew did either).
Before getting relaxers, a lot of us had long hair using regular shampoo, conditioner, grease, and Pink hair lotion lol. But now people freak out about silicones, it’s so funny.
I have 3b-3c low porosity hair so silicone leads to so much build up that it’s better for me to get rid of them, but since my hair naturally seals in moisture I don’t need them. I feel that if you have damaged/ high porosity hair silicones make your hair feel better. When I first transitioned silicones were a life saver for my extremely damaged hair since it didn’t hold moisture at all.
So glad u made this video. Girl, I have the same experience as u with silicone. Ive been trying to get on the "all natural products" for about 2 years now and OMG I GET SO FRUSTRATED. So I've also like u came to the conclusion that I need those silicones, so I'm at like 60% natural products and I'm ok with it. But Hey, thanks for this video!!
I have used silicones all my life. My hair is almost classic (bum) length right now and it's nice and healthy. I use sulfates too (have to, due to a scalp condition). Why does it have to be sulfate-free and silicone free? I'm a girl on a budget. I can only spend about 2/3 euro per product, so I have fewer choices. And what did we do years ago? My waves/curls looked the same as they did with a more "natural" regimen; it only hurt my wallet.
I'm sure you've seen why sulfates and silicones are avoided by many people but you probably just ignore it? Basically sulfates strip everything off your hair including natural oils and silicones coat the hair so that nothing gets in, also it gives the illusion of healthy hair.
ur personal circumstances aren't everyone elses just because you have good genetics and your hair can grow with these things doesn't mean everyone else's can
HiThereLindsey so I guess her hair has been “illusion ally ” healthy all these years. I have to think how did our hair make in the past before we all became so politically informed about curly hair products? Don’t get me wrong, I certainly have joined the “band wagon” of no sulfates, silicones, blah, blah, blah( to an extent.) However, haven’t you ever wondered - what if it’s all a sham?
Eva Rene hmmm that’s what I’m thinking too because I went crazy using silicone and sulphate free products and did everything as possible as right and my mom and sister does not bother about it like me and they use silicone and sulphate and has healthy hair, my mom never likes to use conditioner, she just uses like finesse and herbal essences shampoo but my sister scrunches my mom hair with a garnier fructis sleek and shine silicone oil and the hairdresser told my mom that she has healthy hair and like no split ends but my mom barely washes her hair she leaves her natural oils and sometimes uses other oils
The secret is :) To use non-silicone shampoo and conditioner BEFORE you put your silicone conditioner on your hair. It's also good to sqeeze your hair with water in the shower all the time to moisture it like as if you do a curly girl method. And only then we are going to lock the water in our strands with silicones. That's the way it works perfectly.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!. I have been silicone free/deep treatments weekly/cut off so much hair and it has been over a year now and I still cannot achieve the hair I had using silicones. My hair was beautiful with silicones and I could have days of great hair. I have felt so guilty for using them that I avoided them for over a year. I am heading back. My sister uses silicones and her hair is amazing and her curls are beautiful!!!! Thank you x 100
I’m glad I can across this video ..i stopped using silicones because of all the stuff I been hearing on here and my hair has been a mess and ALWAYS dry and frizzy ever since. really my hair was at its best when I was using them. I am about to start back !
Natural / relaxed (I’m coarse, low porosity, 4c) my hair loves silicones. I put silicone in my locks now. Every 6 weeks or so I clarify before I henna. My hair looks and is awesome and healthy.
@@Teaaas I used to really love St. Ives frizz serum but they discontinued it years ago. None work quite as well but John Frida is second best so far. I don't have a problem with build up but I do indeed use a sulfate shampoo a few times a month with no adverse effects.
silicones are fine you just have to wash them out once a month with sulfate. Not a big deal. When you live on an island they live on silicones for frizz and sun protection. Dominican uses silicones for blowouts they get results that look like a keratin treatment. that will last until you wet it again. My advice on humid days summer time use silicones then in less humid don't.
It’s not that deep!!!! LOL I love your videos. It’s true it’s not that deep. Different products work for different people. What’s most important is that everyone worries about their own hair health. Healthy hair is key whether you use silicones or not. LOL
Hey prima !! I completely agreed with you !! I’ve been curly all my life and I go between silicones and non silicones .. I live in FL so when it’s pool time my hair not only loves silicones but it needs it so the pool water doesn’t dry out my hair.. yes using natural products on our hair adds benefits but also does silicones as well in its own way. I clarify only when my hair tells me I have too much buildup. As curly girls we need to listen to our hair because when we do we achieve popping curls!!
Appreciate the honesty Ada!!! Thank you so much for speaking on this topic. Would be very interested in seeing your side by side comparison of silicone vs none. The 3 minute miracle is MY choice for deep conditioning. It contains silicones and in MY opinion one of the best products for MY hair. Great video girl!!
SAMEEE ! Im too lazy to check every single product for sulfates, silicones, etc and i really dont care 😂 if something works for me, im going to continue to use it regardless of whether it has those ingredients or not . Its really not that serious 😭 at the end of the day my curls are stilll POPPINGGGGGG
I love your hair it's gorgeous 😍 I'm researching silicones, because I see so much anti silicone stuff around the Internet. Nice to see a different point of view xx
Unfortunately there are people out there that would shun u because of what u do "with ur own hair"! Well I'm not one of them. I learned alot from watching this video....thank u!
Honestly your hair is popping so much more with the silicone products. I'm about to go and buy some silicone products because ethe CG method is killing my curls. I have been trying this for so long that I convinced myself that my hair is no longer curly. I looked back at old photos when my hair was good and had to ask myself 'what was I doing differently?' and it all comes down to cones! Thank you for sharing this. I think it's super important for people with curly hair!
I do not have curly hair, but I went sulfate, silicone free for a few years and my hair was worse than EVER. At the time, I didnt connect the two... my hair was dull, frizzy and dry, I had so much dandruff and itchiness, I kept trying all these "clean" products and I just didnt understand why my hair was getting worse. After two years or more, I finally realized my hair needed to go back to the "regular" products and boom, scalp went back to normal and my hair is slowly looking better.
Yes please do the side by side comparsion of silicones vs. no silicones. Good advice, get to know your hair. This is my third year as a curly girl and I am still learning my hair.
Great video Ada. It’s such a conflicting issue with silicones. Recently, I was just reading the ingredients in a Ouidad product that contains silicone in it . And, Ouidad is a popular curly hair line and salon. So, it comes down to differences in professional opinions.
Omg Ada! I still use these products because I'm in a budget. I find that using hair grease, hair gel, mousse or coconut conditioner works best than most expensive products! I like using whatever works for me too. I still have silicone free and silicone hair products in my drawer lol I say just use what works for you. Spending money on these "natural hair" products hurts my wallet lmao
We have limited options for curly hair in India and shipping products from USA dig a big hole in the pocket. Every single curly hair video is like... No sulphate. No paraben. No silicone. And I was like... What I'm gonna use?? Mud? Then I switched back to my old products with all these bad stuffs. And I'm doing quite well. Your video is like icing on the cake. It's really comforting to hear from someone that she's using silicone for about 2 decades and still have beautiful curls. Thanks a lot
Omg, you go vecina! I love it! I know that’s why my hair is so dang dry, because I gave up the cones!! When I started going natural, it was a dang curse word and gasps everywhere to even mention a product that had cones and how you shouldn’t use it, y que te vas a mordir, y que esto y que el otro, dios mio, I wanted to run forest run! 😂😂 I’m going back cause I know my hair loved it too because my hair is super dry and I deep condition weekly too y nada, ta mas seco que la chinga**! 😂😂 keep the videos coming! This woman needs her vecina dosage!! 😘😘🙌🏽🙌🏽👍🏽✌🏽❤️
Oh my God!!! This video had me battling my own mind! I’ve been natural for three years and have used silicones and sulphate since. But now I’m two weeks into Curly Girl Method and cutting off all silicone and sulphate. My hair is very frizzy, ringlets 404 error not found, they are just total madness! 😂 I’m aware that maybe I’m in transition phase. But I miss my silicones and I’m just very tempted to go back to my old routines
My hair loves silicones. I was wondering why my hair looked like crap in the last couple years and since using sulfates and silicones my hair went back to it used to in the first wash!! I think I have high porosity hair. Silicones will only be in my styling products (last steps) not conditioner. So happy, I thought I lost my curls forever. Sulfates are important too people!!
This was really helpful! I know my hair loves silicones but I've been afraid to use them since people started saying how bad they are for your hair. I may give them another go now. Do you have a video on clarifying shampoos that you use?
This is the best video I've ever watched about curly hair. I've been trying to go natural for 4 months now and I've been wondering why its ripping and getting weaker. I used to use silicones all the time and clarifying shampoos every month. Idk if its because we're both dominican but i feel you girl
You took me back to the days when there hardly was any hair products for curly girls. I used John Frieda Frizz Ease. It was not a good time to be curly, so I ruined my hair with a curling iron and bad ingredients. After decades of heat, I finally stoped last March and embraced my curls and discovered great products. Big chopped in August and used Deva Curls and Kinky-Curly and my hair grew like never before. Silicones are a false illusion used as a marketing scheme to sell one on “frizz free.” But, if it works for you, then keep doing what makes you happy. Love, your curly prima.
I just discovered that my hair loves silicones as well. I use silicone mix de Santo Domingo, and my hair gets de-tangled extremely fast compared to shea moisture products. God bless you ❤️and thank you for sharing this information!
SO grateful for a non shaming natural hair vid!! I graduated from Paul Mitchell and all of their hair care contains sulfates and silicones and I’ve felt ashamed to use them and blow dry my hair and i loveee to clarify shampoo And deep condition weekly I’m bleach blonde with a bit of my natural color for lowlights and my hair looks and feels fine and grows fast i live by layering liquid oil and cream products :)
I love that you added about clarifying your hair if you do use them. I didn’t really understand the way build up can affect your hair until I learned about the importance of clarifying once in a while. I wonder if people at times mistake product buildup for heat damage? I know I have! Instead of cutting, I clarified and deeply moisturized, anD mY curls came back strong! Thanks for sharing this Ada! 💗👌🏼
I spend a lot of time in the carribean and I bring my silicone products with me to protect my hair from the sun and salt. I see nothing wrong with silicone I don't take issue with sulfate shampoos either. When I shampoo with sulfate I deep condition. I love this video cause you should use what works. I've been a licensed hair dresser for over 20 years and I give this video 1 million stars 🌟 🌟 do what works for you!! I hope you see this. You go girl!❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐.
mochabomb I think I agree. I’ve got damaged high porosity and since cutting out silicone my hair looks waaaay worse!! It’s dry and frizzy and looks like crap.
@@julieo4580 that's because once you stopped using silicones and they washed away you saw the true state of your hair. Your hair is still damaged but under the silicones. Cheap silicones basically laminate the hair, keeping out moisture and nutrients for the hair. While it's true that silicones also seal moisture in you have to keep in mind that it won't last forever and your hair will dry out under that silicone coat. If you use silicones make sure it's from a high quality brand, which uses "good" silicones (those are easy to wash out and don't layer up and stay on your hair).
@@sonja3555 And dont forget the effect on the environment :D That is also a huge point for many people I think. Silicones and micro-plastics aren*t good and just imaging, that they are small enough to go through the best water filters and end up in drinking water (bottled or from the sink) is ..... cringy and disgusting
Yes! I'm 3c/4a natural with high porosity hair & it works like a charm. Keeps my hair from breaking as well. I've retained so much length from adding silicones.
Love this video! I’m just turning 40 and have always kept my curls natural. My curls love silicones and I have never had a problem with them. My hair is healthy and long. However my daughters have really tight curly hair and silicones make their hair dry. One size doesn’t fit all! Just like you said, do what works for you! Shaming people for using silicones is ridiculous! I love your honesty, been watching your videos for a long time. Which clarifying shampoos do you recommend?
I subscribed after this video, as I recently figured out my hair thrives on the Silicon mix. However I do clarify to prevent build up. My hair is healthy and I use a mixture of all natural and other products. For me we should all do what's best for our hair. Thanks for this video! 👏🏾😊
Sorry for my bad english i am from Holland hihi. I tried the CGM for 4 months.. and i am missing my African Pride silky curls moisturizer with SILICONES.. My hair is so frizzy... i spend like already 100 euros (150 dollar maybe more) on Silicone, Sulfate, Parabens free products. My hair looks bomb when i used silicones! My hair was sooo frizzy and dry when i used the CGM and it looked like my texture just disappeared more then it was defined. I see big positive changes in hair like all the other Before and after pictures on social media but for me it didn't work out that way and not everybody can afford a hair product that costs $40 dollars or even more. I learned about my porosity that was a big turn (In a Good way) My hair was healthy when i used silicones and it still grew fast, never had hair breakage, i only needed to go once a year to my hairdresser to cut the ends because it didn't break or it wasn't dead! Just using a clarifying shampoo with sulfates once a month to prevent a lot of build up but my hair was better when i used silicones. I am going back to what my hair loves, the media is making using silicones like it is a shame... but girlss do what your hair loves! Thank you for this video!!! ❤
What kind of silicone products do you use? My hair has some damage from hair dye but I also stopped using Silicon Mix around the same time and I’m wondering if that’s why my curls have slowly been dying! I was going to try and avoid that conditioner due to all the curly hair videos but now I may consider going back to it. Not sure lol. What products do you like?
When I first heard silicones were bad I tried using conditioners without them and my hair looked terrible. I thought maybe my hair needed to transition, but my hair just continued too feel like straw. I keep hearing to definitely not use them on damaged hair, but I feel like that is when they are the most beneficial.. You can't reverse color and heat damage. Silicones make it look and feel softer.. Not to mention how it helps with frizz and iron straightening.
Omg thx u for the chat. I’m transitioning 1yr & was struggling w/ Florida humidity So now I just seal hair with cones. N now my hair dnt look wild anymore. Much love. I’m going to binge on ur channel to see ur recommendations 💋
Hi Ada I really did stumble onto your channel - but thank God I did. I am a new natural and have been viewing video after video of people stating exactly what you stated regarding silicones. In fact - I was ready to throw away one of my favorite conditioners (Aussie Moist 3 Minute Miracle). I really appreciate your suggestion about what to do if I choose to use silicones (very helpful) and greatly appreciated. Your video was a blessing to me and I look forward to viewing your others. Thank You!!!
Ada, what do you use to clarify the hair from the silicone? What shampoo do you use? My hair loves silicones, but I’m scared to use them because I only use sulfate-free shampoo.
Deylight70 I know this is an old comment, but any shampoo with coco-betaine or olefin sulfonate will remove silicones. These surfactants are used in a lot of "sulfate-free" shampoos.
Exactly! You do you. I tried the gracias method for about a year and my hair kept getting drier and drier. I try not to use sulfates though because I feel like it really does bad things to my hair, it makes it very hard to detangle. I love all the Carol's Daughter masks. My hair soaks them up.
Yea I’m so sad I fell into the whole no sulfates thing , my hair was at its longest best state, when I used silicones, I recently went back to it and I’m not leaving it. I want hair back long.
Love this video!! I too use silicones, but I don’t overdo it and I make sure to clarify once a week...sometimes I can go two weeks without clarifying. It just all depends on your hair type. Do what works for you. Test products out. That’s the only way you’ll learn and know. I love how real & honest you are with us. That’s why you’re everyone’s favorite vecina! 💗 btw I love aussies 3 min miracle & ogx hydrate & repair argan oil of Morocco conditioner. I have other products with dimethicone, but those two are the only ones I thought of lol.
Thanks for this video. I hear ya about having too much info that eventually gets confusing. I don’t even know what to use anymore. But will take ur advice & get to know my hair & see what it likes/dislikes.
Did my best to be non sulfate/silicone free, and suffered bad split ends and dry hair. No butters/oils could help me. Switched to creme of Nature and aussie moist conditioner, and my hair feels so much better.
After my curls were shaped and I passed over the transitioning period , I discovered that it only needed silicons leave ins to appear longer and softer.. thank u for this video
I learned Silicones were good for people who use a lot of heat. I blow dry most every wash day and I get good results using Silicon Mix. Especially when I flat iron after . I have found a few Dominican products I use in my 4C high porosity hair with great results . Naturals who stay away from heat don’t too much need silicones unless they are open to using them to help increase moisture. Different textures and different porosities require different things
Thank you for this video Ada! So helpful since I just started my curly hair journey in Jan...I’m sharing this video with my sista, my momma,errrrrrbodyyy 😂💙
New subscriber. LOVED your video. I big chopped almost five months ago and started using sulfates and silicone and my hair is thriving. Tried sulfate free shampoo and it stripped my hair and made it super dry.
Thank you so much for this video!! Yes the curly hair Community is very overwhelming, specially for people like me who are transitioning and are desperately trying to do right by our hair after all the damage we caused! Since I stop straightening I can say that all of my products are currently silicone free. I have no idea if my hair loves it or not... but as you commented I should wait to try once my hair is healthy!! I’m getting a cut next month with Ona (thank you for recommending her on your channel) and i hope she can get rid of most of my damage, maybe I can try out a silicone product and see how it works on me after I get the cut!! Can you let us know your top silicone products? Thank Ada!!! 💗💗💗
Thank you, thank you Ada! 💜😊 So informative. Since transitioning I am avoiding silicones however once my hair is back to healthy this is something I will definitely keep in mind. I have seen so much content and have honestly stopped reading or viewing because it was just too much! Please do a video on best products to clarify with.
Silicone changes hair over time and makes it more difficult to retain moisturizer. Do yourself a favor and stay away. You have to strip your hair to get them off.
Hey what do you think of silicones on your scalp? Do you think they block the hair follicle? Just wierd I've seen them in deep conditioners that say to put on scalp and rinse, this is an expensive brand. Dimethicone silsesquioxane copolymer. Thanks 😊
Is exacly the way i feel, i try to be 1 or 2 weeks without silicones them I apply it and comeback I wash it out with a sulfate shampoo and do that regimen over and over again
Good afternoon. I would love to see the compassion video. Thank you. Appreciate the honesty. I think I am in your shoes also. The no silicone method doesn’t work for me.
LOVE THIS VIDEO!! How often do you wash your hair with sulfates? I have tried to go sulfate and silicone free and I was a frizzy mess. I need my silicons and sulfates
So people don't use silicone on damaged hair ? But that's when I need them most cuz it makes it feel normal & also coats & protects avoiding more damage. Of course doing other healthy treatments too..
Today was first time since few months that I decided to use a Silicon conditioner and oh my god I noticed the difference while applying it on my hair and after wards,the thing is I suppose to have a beautiful hair with a portion of very damaged due to a Trichtellomania and going off silicon products had worsen my hair more and more to the extent I didn’t know what’s going on!! The goal is having beautiful hair and not obsessing about a cult called natural bla bla bla
Ikea? there's only one ikea I know of and it's in my state.. do you live in Minnesota?? Great video, I recently well maybe 2 years ago decided to try out the cgm and at first it seemed like it was working for my hair but in the last like 6 months it's gone to crap my hair seems so so much thinner then it ever has been and so I decided I'm going to go back to silicones and see if that makes any difference
This is so eye opening!! Soy bien quisquiyosa con mis productos y si veo algo que me llame la atencion pero tiene silicone le huyo como el diablo a la cruz + . I've noticed even though I deep condition and try to maintain my hair hydrated, it always dry out. I remember back in the day when I used to blow dry my hair , I used silicone products and my hair was just fine!! and now it is so dry! and now all I do is spent my money on it ugh... My only concern with 'cones is my hair tends to build up very easily but i"ll give it a try anyways and let you now. Promise i wont mentarte la madre lol
Just do what's best for YOUR HAIR TYPE QUEENS... hair care products aren't ONE SIZE FITS ALL. If you see the gallons of coconut and olive oil I drown my hair in most nights and in the morning I wonder.... Did the oil Fairy snatch it all :) and some hair types would break if they use... I LOVE silicones as my texture tends to be dry. It works for me. My hair is gorgeous at 52 years old.. Go figure. MUCH LOVE AND HAIR HUGGING :) Stay blessed and safe xoxo
Just like someone else mentioned when it’s hot out I do need extra help I found silicones when i was in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 and it saved my hair from frying in the humidity. So I have been using mix chicks leave-in which has a silicone in it and it saves my hair everytime. But in the winter, fall and spring I try to stay silicone free.
Heyyy i stumbled upon your video cause i was actually looking to try the silicone hair products for my hair because i struggle alot with keeping my hair healthy and trying to figure out what works for me and im literally praying that this helps cause my hair needs it lol
Do you think it will block products from getting in my hair tho. Cuz i started using Aussie Miracle moisture and it has do much slip and i love it, but i dont wanna keep using it if eventually its gonna dry out my hair because i have low porosity hair? Do you think its good for low porosity hair? I just wanna know ahead of time.
I used streax hair serum after washing my hair that's all i use and it makes my hair amazing and it never damaged or did anything bad to my hair It's been like 3 years and my hair is doing good even though i relaxed it and now it's in weird shape 😷
Your hair is beautiful love it, I have multiple hair texture also, sometimes when I use certain products i get white residue build up on my wash and twist..
People forget that if it keeps moisture out it also keeps moisture inside the hair! I love silicones!!!!
Julia K i couldn’t had said it better
That’s why I’m finally adding them back in my hair as a finishing/sealing step! I realized my hair was getting all tangled once it was dry because moisture was leaving too quickly. It was like the elements were fighting my hair the second I stepped outside. I still use silicone free conditioner/leave-in because my hair responds well to it. And using sulfates every once in a while doesn’t seem to bother my hair as long as I condition well after without silicones, and then add the silicones on after all my products are on!
Damn girl!! I feel like this was a personal response to my video... you tryna fight?! 🤣🤣 JK! JK! Glad you shared your personal experience. I honestly used silicone back in the day too and my curls looked poppin BUT since my channel, I stopped promoting them because most of my audience is transitioning and like you mentioned, it’s best to avoid them while your hair is damaged. ANNNND now that I’ve cut them out, my hair is MORE poppin now than ever before & I now see that my curls weren’t at their full potential back in the day. But that’s me and once again, like you said, the best thing for anyone to do is TRY things on your OWN hair to see what works best. 😁👍🏽 Nice video. ❤️
Bianca! Omg I just watched your video and I promise that was not a personal response lol. I actually spoke about this on my IG stories two weeks ago and then filmed this video right after, but hadn't had a chance to edit because I was in LA. I got so many messages from girls saying they were getting shamed because they use silicones since everyone is always preaching TCM so I wanted to share my personal experience with silicone over the years especially since I still heavily use them and my curls are absolutely fine. I just felt the convo on silicones has always been one sided and they are actually not bad at all IF you educate yourself. Thanks for watching girl!
BiancaReneeToday I was just thinking the same thing!! Lol
I saw your video and then this and I was like O.O OMG lol
BiancaReneeToday Lmao
So they aren't bad. they just didn't make your curls live up to their full potential.
I've been silicone free for 4 years until last november as I was following the CG method. All I got was a thinner, dry mess passing for her. My texture went from 3B to 2B. Several medical bills later, a health diagnostic and YT videos I realized this damn method was the culprit. I went back to the old days and my hair is so happy. I just hope I can still get the hair I lost back.
One thing that I don't understand is "hair health." Hair is not a living, breathing organism. It's a dead pile of proteins.
So how do silicones "suffocate" a hair strand? You can't suffocate a rock or a dead body, so...? You can dress it up and make it look different, but it's not healthy or unhealthy. Hair "health" just refers to visual appearance. I've also used sulfates and silicones my whole life, and I never had hair loss from it (and nobody I knew did either).
Before getting relaxers, a lot of us had long hair using regular shampoo, conditioner, grease, and Pink hair lotion lol. But now people freak out about silicones, it’s so funny.
Silicones help my hair and I hate others shaming others using them😡 thanks for this video🤗
Silicones actually work to soften the hair so I honestly don’t understand why people are so against it
Caribbean Beauty 4c hair ?
I have 3b-3c low porosity hair so silicone leads to so much build up that it’s better for me to get rid of them, but since my hair naturally seals in moisture I don’t need them. I feel that if you have damaged/ high porosity hair silicones make your hair feel better. When I first transitioned silicones were a life saver for my extremely damaged hair since it didn’t hold moisture at all.
It can be built up on your strands and gradually stop the nutritions to Penetrate into the hair which will cause breakage
So glad u made this video. Girl, I have the same experience as u with silicone. Ive been trying to get on the "all natural products" for about 2 years now and OMG I GET SO FRUSTRATED. So I've also like u came to the conclusion that I need those silicones, so I'm at like 60% natural products and I'm ok with it. But Hey, thanks for this video!!
I have used silicones all my life. My hair is almost classic (bum) length right now and it's nice and healthy. I use sulfates too (have to, due to a scalp condition). Why does it have to be sulfate-free and silicone free? I'm a girl on a budget. I can only spend about 2/3 euro per product, so I have fewer choices. And what did we do years ago? My waves/curls looked the same as they did with a more "natural" regimen; it only hurt my wallet.
I'm sure you've seen why sulfates and silicones are avoided by many people but you probably just ignore it? Basically sulfates strip everything off your hair including natural oils and silicones coat the hair so that nothing gets in, also it gives the illusion of healthy hair.
ur personal circumstances aren't everyone elses just because you have good genetics and your hair can grow with these things doesn't mean everyone else's can
HiThereLindsey so I guess her hair has been “illusion ally ” healthy all these years. I have to think how did our hair make in the past before we all became so politically informed about curly hair products? Don’t get me wrong, I certainly have joined the “band wagon” of no sulfates, silicones, blah, blah, blah( to an extent.) However, haven’t you ever wondered - what if it’s all a sham?
Eva Rene hmmm that’s what I’m thinking too because I went crazy using silicone and sulphate free products and did everything as possible as right and my mom and sister does not bother about it like me and they use silicone and sulphate and has healthy hair, my mom never likes to use conditioner, she just uses like finesse and herbal essences shampoo but my sister scrunches my mom hair with a garnier fructis sleek and shine silicone oil and the hairdresser told my mom that she has healthy hair and like no split ends but my mom barely washes her hair she leaves her natural oils and sometimes uses other oils
@Janiya Gowdy I think a couple euro is enough for a basic hygiene product, maybe that's just me.
The secret is :) To use non-silicone shampoo and conditioner BEFORE you put your silicone conditioner on your hair. It's also good to sqeeze your hair with water in the shower all the time to moisture it like as if you do a curly girl method.
And only then we are going to lock the water in our strands with silicones. That's the way it works perfectly.
Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!. I have been silicone free/deep treatments weekly/cut off so much hair and it has been over a year now and I still cannot achieve the hair I had using silicones. My hair was beautiful with silicones and I could have days of great hair. I have felt so guilty for using them that I avoided them for over a year. I am heading back. My sister uses silicones and her hair is amazing and her curls are beautiful!!!! Thank you x 100
Ruby Shah yes!!! This!!!
I’m glad I can across this video ..i stopped using silicones because of all the stuff I been hearing on here and my hair has been a mess and ALWAYS dry and frizzy ever since. really my hair was at its best when I was using them. I am about to start back !
Cierra Dubose I did too and sulfate free stuff. I’m hair has been messed up for years. My hair was the best when I used the original scul spray.
Exactly me!!
I believe it is because the slip made in silicone and Sulfate products that make people believe their hair is getting moisture and it’s not
Natural / relaxed (I’m coarse, low porosity, 4c) my hair loves silicones. I put silicone in my locks now. Every 6 weeks or so I clarify before I henna. My hair looks and is awesome and healthy.
Oonagh72 nice
YES GIRL YES! I have 4a hair and my hair LOVES dimethicone and is flourishing! All of the silicone shamers can have several seats!
NEECO PALMER what products do you use?
@@Teaaas I used to really love St. Ives frizz serum but they discontinued it years ago. None work quite as well but John Frida is second best so far. I don't have a problem with build up but I do indeed use a sulfate shampoo a few times a month with no adverse effects.
silicones are fine you just have to wash them out once a month with sulfate. Not a big deal. When you live on an island they live on silicones for frizz and sun protection. Dominican uses silicones for blowouts they get results that look like a keratin treatment. that will last until you wet it again. My advice on humid days summer time use silicones then in less humid don't.
jill tedesco so true!!!
When you live in a tropical state and summer is all you know... 😂
I'm a dominican and every single treatment I've found has silicone in it :(
It’s not that deep!!!! LOL I love your videos. It’s true it’s not that deep. Different products work for different people. What’s most important is that everyone worries about their own hair health. Healthy hair is key whether you use silicones or not. LOL
Hey prima !! I completely agreed with you !! I’ve been curly all my life and I go between silicones and non silicones .. I live in FL so when it’s pool time my hair not only loves silicones but it needs it so the pool water doesn’t dry out my hair.. yes using natural products on our hair adds benefits but also does silicones as well in its own way. I clarify only when my hair tells me I have too much buildup. As curly girls we need to listen to our hair because when we do we achieve popping curls!!
Appreciate the honesty Ada!!! Thank you so much for speaking on this topic. Would be very interested in seeing your side by side comparison of silicone vs none. The 3 minute miracle is MY choice for deep conditioning. It contains silicones and in MY opinion one of the best products for MY hair. Great video girl!!
SAMEEE ! Im too lazy to check every single product for sulfates, silicones, etc and i really dont care 😂 if something works for me, im going to continue to use it regardless of whether it has those ingredients or not . Its really not that serious 😭 at the end of the day my curls are stilll POPPINGGGGGG
Adeline A Lmao girlll
I love your hair it's gorgeous 😍 I'm researching silicones, because I see so much anti silicone stuff around the Internet. Nice to see a different point of view xx
Unfortunately there are people out there that would shun u because of what u do "with ur own hair"! Well I'm not one of them. I learned alot from watching this video....thank u!
Honestly your hair is popping so much more with the silicone products. I'm about to go and buy some silicone products because ethe CG method is killing my curls.
I have been trying this for so long that I convinced myself that my hair is no longer curly.
I looked back at old photos when my hair was good and had to ask myself 'what was I doing differently?' and it all comes down to cones!
Thank you for sharing this. I think it's super important for people with curly hair!
Yay!!!! Do a side by side pleasseeee. I remember back in the day how my curls flourished with silicones. I need to give them another try!
Thank you 🙏🏼 I have been so confused. My hair loves cones and I was scared to use it because everyone says it’s bad. Your hair is fantastic ❤️
Lillian Davila don't worry girl! Use whatever works for you! It's just a trend now lol
Yes girl! My hair has flourished since I started using silicones, particularly silicon mix~
What do you use
I do not have curly hair, but I went sulfate, silicone free for a few years and my hair was worse than EVER. At the time, I didnt connect the two... my hair was dull, frizzy and dry, I had so much dandruff and itchiness, I kept trying all these "clean" products and I just didnt understand why my hair was getting worse. After two years or more, I finally realized my hair needed to go back to the "regular" products and boom, scalp went back to normal and my hair is slowly looking better.
My hair is the same way. It loves silicones. Thanks for the honesty luv. 🤗😘 love ur curls and video 👍🏽
Yes please do the side by side comparsion of silicones vs. no silicones. Good advice, get to know your hair. This is my third year as a curly girl and I am still learning my hair.
Great video Ada. It’s such a conflicting issue with silicones. Recently, I was just reading the ingredients in a Ouidad product that contains silicone in it . And, Ouidad is a popular curly hair line and salon. So, it comes down to differences in professional opinions.
Omg Ada! I still use these products because I'm in a budget. I find that using hair grease, hair gel, mousse or coconut conditioner works best than most expensive products! I like using whatever works for me too. I still have silicone free and silicone hair products in my drawer lol I say just use what works for you. Spending money on these "natural hair" products hurts my wallet lmao
We have limited options for curly hair in India and shipping products from USA dig a big hole in the pocket. Every single curly hair video is like... No sulphate. No paraben. No silicone. And I was like... What I'm gonna use?? Mud? Then I switched back to my old products with all these bad stuffs. And I'm doing quite well. Your video is like icing on the cake. It's really comforting to hear from someone that she's using silicone for about 2 decades and still have beautiful curls. Thanks a lot
Omg, you go vecina! I love it! I know that’s why my hair is so dang dry, because I gave up the cones!! When I started going natural, it was a dang curse word and gasps everywhere to even mention a product that had cones and how you shouldn’t use it, y que te vas a mordir, y que esto y que el otro, dios mio, I wanted to run forest run! 😂😂 I’m going back cause I know my hair loved it too because my hair is super dry and I deep condition weekly too y nada, ta mas seco que la chinga**! 😂😂 keep the videos coming! This woman needs her vecina dosage!! 😘😘🙌🏽🙌🏽👍🏽✌🏽❤️
Oh my God!!! This video had me battling my own mind! I’ve been natural for three years and have used silicones and sulphate since. But now I’m two weeks into Curly Girl Method and cutting off all silicone and sulphate. My hair is very frizzy, ringlets 404 error not found, they are just total madness! 😂 I’m aware that maybe I’m in transition phase. But I miss my silicones and I’m just very tempted to go back to my old routines
My hair loves silicones. I was wondering why my hair looked like crap in the last couple years and since using sulfates and silicones my hair went back to it used to in the first wash!! I think I have high porosity hair. Silicones will only be in my styling products (last steps) not conditioner. So happy, I thought I lost my curls forever. Sulfates are important too people!!
I use silicon mix bamboo. And crece pelo it's awesome I love it my hair loves it. I have hip length hair no problem.
Señora Espinosa crece pelo do u use all the products like the leave in etc
I wanna try the Proteína de Perla line!
Can u link product u use please?
Thank you for this !!!! I feel the same way ! Silicone are not terrible on healthy hair!!
This was really helpful! I know my hair loves silicones but I've been afraid to use them since people started saying how bad they are for your hair. I may give them another go now. Do you have a video on clarifying shampoos that you use?
Same ngl since i stopped using sicolens since I've fully transitioned my hair is very dry x
This is the best video I've ever watched about curly hair. I've been trying to go natural for 4 months now and I've been wondering why its ripping and getting weaker. I used to use silicones all the time and clarifying shampoos every month. Idk if its because we're both dominican but i feel you girl
You took me back to the days when there hardly was any hair products for curly girls. I used John Frieda Frizz Ease. It was not a good time to be curly, so I ruined my hair with a curling iron and bad ingredients. After decades of heat, I finally stoped last March and embraced my curls and discovered great products. Big chopped in August and used Deva Curls and Kinky-Curly and my hair grew like never before. Silicones are a false illusion used as a marketing scheme to sell one on “frizz free.” But, if it works for you, then keep doing what makes you happy. Love, your curly prima.
I just discovered that my hair loves silicones as well. I use silicone mix de Santo Domingo, and my hair gets de-tangled extremely fast compared to shea moisture products. God bless you ❤️and thank you for sharing this information!
SO grateful for a non shaming natural hair vid!! I graduated from Paul Mitchell and all of their hair care contains sulfates and silicones and I’ve felt ashamed to use them and blow dry my hair and i loveee to clarify shampoo And deep condition weekly I’m bleach blonde with a bit of my natural color for lowlights and my hair looks and feels fine and grows fast i live by layering liquid oil and cream products :)
I love that you added about clarifying your hair if you do use them. I didn’t really understand the way build up can affect your hair until I learned about the importance of clarifying once in a while. I wonder if people at times mistake product buildup for heat damage? I know I have! Instead of cutting, I clarified and deeply moisturized, anD mY curls came back strong! Thanks for sharing this Ada! 💗👌🏼
I spend a lot of time in the carribean and I bring my silicone products with me to protect my hair from the sun and salt. I see nothing wrong with silicone I don't take issue with sulfate shampoos either. When I shampoo with sulfate I deep condition. I love this video cause you should use what works. I've been a licensed hair dresser for over 20 years and I give this video 1 million stars 🌟 🌟 do what works for you!! I hope you see this. You go girl!❤️❤️⭐⭐⭐.
I love this video! Thank you Ada for doing this video. I am not a stickler when it comes to silicones either.
Lmaoooo!!! You had me hysterical. So much great info and I love how you talked about the pros and cons
My hair loves cones!!! Shampoo (sulfate) takes care of that!
maybe high porosity hair needs help from silicone somehow. ..
mochabomb I think I agree. I’ve got damaged high porosity and since cutting out silicone my hair looks waaaay worse!! It’s dry and frizzy and looks like crap.
yea because silicone helps keep moisture in for high porosity hair
@@julieo4580 that's because once you stopped using silicones and they washed away you saw the true state of your hair. Your hair is still damaged but under the silicones. Cheap silicones basically laminate the hair, keeping out moisture and nutrients for the hair. While it's true that silicones also seal moisture in you have to keep in mind that it won't last forever and your hair will dry out under that silicone coat. If you use silicones make sure it's from a high quality brand, which uses "good" silicones (those are easy to wash out and don't layer up and stay on your hair).
@@sonja3555 And dont forget the effect on the environment :D That is also a huge point for many people I think. Silicones and micro-plastics aren*t good and just imaging, that they are small enough to go through the best water filters and end up in drinking water (bottled or from the sink) is ..... cringy and disgusting
Yes! I'm 3c/4a natural with high porosity hair & it works like a charm. Keeps my hair from breaking as well. I've retained so much length from adding silicones.
my hair was more healthy when i didn't know anything. now it's dry, less curls and falling out. I believe you!
My hair likes silicones too
I use silicone because of my scalp condition! This video just gave me so much relief, I was so scared to use silicons 😂
I was wondering if silicones would block the hair follicles..
Love this video! I’m just turning 40 and have always kept my curls natural. My curls love silicones and I have never had a problem with them. My hair is healthy and long. However my daughters have really tight curly hair and silicones make their hair dry. One size doesn’t fit all! Just like you said, do what works for you! Shaming people for using silicones is ridiculous! I love your honesty, been watching your videos for a long time. Which clarifying shampoos do you recommend?
Yes please do a comparison wash and go because I feel like the devacurl products make my hair a little more frizzy as well...
I subscribed after this video, as I recently figured out my hair thrives on the Silicon mix. However I do clarify to prevent build up. My hair is healthy and I use a mixture of all natural and other products. For me we should all do what's best for our hair. Thanks for this video! 👏🏾😊
This video gave me life!. I was hand clapping like..." yasssss girl"
Sorry for my bad english i am from Holland hihi.
I tried the CGM for 4 months.. and i am missing my African Pride silky curls moisturizer with SILICONES..
My hair is so frizzy... i spend like already 100 euros (150 dollar maybe more) on Silicone, Sulfate, Parabens free products. My hair looks bomb when i used silicones!
My hair was sooo frizzy and dry when i used the CGM and it looked like my texture just disappeared more then it was defined. I see big positive changes in hair like all the other Before and after pictures on social media but for me it didn't work out that way and not everybody can afford a hair product that costs $40 dollars or even more.
I learned about my porosity that was a big turn (In a Good way)
My hair was healthy when i used silicones and it still grew fast, never had hair breakage, i only needed to go once a year to my hairdresser to cut the ends because it didn't break or it wasn't dead! Just using a clarifying shampoo with sulfates once a month to prevent a lot of build up but my hair was better when i used silicones.
I am going back to what my hair loves, the media is making using silicones like it is a shame... but girlss do what your hair loves!
Thank you for this video!!! ❤
Can u share the products that u used?
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Hey nena’ !!! You hit the nail right on the head!! I used silicones.. I used CG friendly I like them both!! My favorite silicone is Macadamia products
What kind of silicone products do you use? My hair has some damage from hair dye but I also stopped using Silicon Mix around the same time and I’m wondering if that’s why my curls have slowly been dying! I was going to try and avoid that conditioner due to all the curly hair videos but now I may consider going back to it. Not sure lol. What products do you like?
When I first heard silicones were bad I tried using conditioners without them and my hair looked terrible. I thought maybe my hair needed to transition, but my hair just continued too feel like straw. I keep hearing to definitely not use them on damaged hair, but I feel like that is when they are the most beneficial.. You can't reverse color and heat damage. Silicones make it look and feel softer.. Not to mention how it helps with frizz and iron straightening.
Omg thx u for the chat. I’m transitioning 1yr & was struggling w/ Florida humidity So now I just seal hair with cones. N now my hair dnt look wild anymore. Much love. I’m going to binge on ur channel to see ur recommendations 💋
I can’t even tell a difference with silicones but I feel like my hair grows better without them 🤷🏽♀️
But idk
Hi Ada
I really did stumble onto your channel - but thank God I did. I am a new natural and have been viewing video after video of people stating exactly what you stated regarding silicones. In fact - I was ready to throw away one of my favorite conditioners (Aussie Moist 3 Minute Miracle). I really appreciate your suggestion about what to do if I choose to use silicones (very helpful) and greatly appreciated. Your video was a blessing to me and I look forward to viewing your others.
Thank You!!!
Ada, what do you use to clarify the hair from the silicone? What shampoo do you use? My hair loves silicones, but I’m scared to use them because I only use sulfate-free shampoo.
Deylight70 apple cider vinegar works great I have not found an actual clarifying shampoo yet
Deylight70 I know this is an old comment, but any shampoo with coco-betaine or olefin sulfonate will remove silicones. These surfactants are used in a lot of "sulfate-free" shampoos.
Exactly! You do you. I tried the gracias method for about a year and my hair kept getting drier and drier. I try not to use sulfates though because I feel like it really does bad things to my hair, it makes it very hard to detangle.
I love all the Carol's Daughter masks. My hair soaks them up.
Yea I’m so sad I fell into the whole no sulfates thing , my hair was at its longest best state, when I used silicones, I recently went back to it and I’m not leaving it. I want hair back long.
Also my hair grow twice as fast with sulfates. No sulfates my hair was growing so slow
Love this video!! I too use silicones, but I don’t overdo it and I make sure to clarify once a week...sometimes I can go two weeks without clarifying. It just all depends on your hair type. Do what works for you. Test products out. That’s the only way you’ll learn and know. I love how real & honest you are with us. That’s why you’re everyone’s favorite vecina! 💗 btw I love aussies 3 min miracle & ogx hydrate & repair argan oil of Morocco conditioner. I have other products with dimethicone, but those two are the only ones I thought of lol.
Thanks for this video. I hear ya about having too much info that eventually gets confusing. I don’t even know what to use anymore. But will take ur advice & get to know my hair & see what it likes/dislikes.
Did my best to be non sulfate/silicone free, and suffered bad split ends and dry hair. No butters/oils could help me. Switched to creme of Nature and aussie moist conditioner, and my hair feels so much better.
After my curls were shaped and I passed over the transitioning period , I discovered that it only needed silicons leave ins to appear longer and softer.. thank u for this video
I learned Silicones were good for people who use a lot of heat. I blow dry most every wash day and I get good results using Silicon Mix. Especially when I flat iron after . I have found a few Dominican products I use in my 4C high porosity hair with great results .
Naturals who stay away from heat don’t too much need silicones unless they are open to using them to help increase moisture. Different textures and different porosities require different things
Thank you for this video Ada! So helpful since I just started my curly hair journey in Jan...I’m sharing this video with my sista, my momma,errrrrrbodyyy 😂💙
New subscriber. LOVED your video. I big chopped almost five months ago and started using sulfates and silicone and my hair is thriving. Tried sulfate free shampoo and it stripped my hair and made it super dry.
Jazmin Bailey What products do you use? Does the sulfate shampoo have cones too?
Hey Girl Hey .... Love your honesty ... that is why I love ya. Checking all my labels now.
Thank you so much for this video!! Yes the curly hair Community is very overwhelming, specially for people like me who are transitioning and are desperately trying to do right by our hair after all the damage we caused! Since I stop straightening I can say that all of my products are currently silicone free. I have no idea if my hair loves it or not... but as you commented I should wait to try once my hair is healthy!! I’m getting a cut next month with Ona (thank you for recommending her on your channel) and i hope she can get rid of most of my damage, maybe I can try out a silicone product and see how it works on me after I get the cut!! Can you let us know your top silicone products? Thank Ada!!! 💗💗💗
Thank you, thank you Ada! 💜😊 So informative. Since transitioning I am avoiding silicones however once my hair is back to healthy this is something I will definitely keep in mind. I have seen so much content and have honestly stopped reading or viewing because it was just too much! Please do a video on best products to clarify with.
Silicone changes hair over time and makes it more difficult to retain moisturizer. Do yourself a favor and stay away. You have to strip your hair to get them off.
Hey what do you think of silicones on your scalp? Do you think they block the hair follicle? Just wierd I've seen them in deep conditioners that say to put on scalp and rinse, this is an expensive brand. Dimethicone silsesquioxane copolymer. Thanks 😊
Is exacly the way i feel, i try to be 1 or 2 weeks without silicones them I apply it and comeback I wash it out with a sulfate shampoo and do that regimen over and over again
Hey Vecina 👋🏼! What’s your favorite clarifying shampoo?
I like old school products! My hair was so shiny and long before natural products came along. Love cones! And Blue Magic!
Loooove this video...the best explanation i've heard on silicones ever!!!
Good afternoon. I would love to see the compassion video. Thank you. Appreciate the honesty. I think I am in your shoes also. The no silicone method doesn’t work for me.
LOVE THIS VIDEO!! How often do you wash your hair with sulfates? I have tried to go sulfate and silicone free and I was a frizzy mess. I need my silicons and sulfates
Love your videos!!! I seen you in Pero Like! Lol I don’t use silicones as of right now. I’m still focused on getting my hair back to a healthy state.
So people don't use silicone on damaged hair ? But that's when I need them most cuz it makes it feel normal & also coats & protects avoiding more damage. Of course doing other healthy treatments too..
Today was first time since few months that I decided to use a Silicon conditioner and oh my god I noticed the difference while applying it on my hair and after wards,the thing is I suppose to have a beautiful hair with a portion of very damaged due to a Trichtellomania and going off silicon products had worsen my hair more and more to the extent I didn’t know what’s going on!! The goal is having beautiful hair and not obsessing about a cult called natural bla bla bla
Silicone Love. ♡
Ikea? there's only one ikea I know of and it's in my state.. do you live in Minnesota??
Great video, I recently well maybe 2 years ago decided to try out the cgm and at first it seemed like it was working for my hair but in the last like 6 months it's gone to crap my hair seems so so much thinner then it ever has been and so I decided I'm going to go back to silicones and see if that makes any difference
This is so eye opening!! Soy bien quisquiyosa con mis productos y si veo algo que me llame la atencion pero tiene silicone le huyo como el diablo a la cruz + . I've noticed even though I deep condition and try to maintain my hair hydrated, it always dry out. I remember back in the day when I used to blow dry my hair , I used silicone products and my hair was just fine!! and now it is so dry! and now all I do is spent my money on it ugh... My only concern with 'cones is my hair tends to build up very easily but i"ll give it a try anyways and let you now. Promise i wont mentarte la madre lol
Would it just be easier to use sulfates and silicons ever other week so u can avoid the cons ?
Just do what's best for YOUR HAIR TYPE QUEENS... hair care products aren't ONE SIZE FITS ALL. If you see the gallons of coconut and olive oil I drown my hair in most nights and in the morning I wonder.... Did the oil Fairy snatch it all :) and some hair types would break if they use... I LOVE silicones as my texture tends to be dry. It works for me. My hair is gorgeous at 52 years old.. Go figure. MUCH LOVE AND HAIR HUGGING :) Stay blessed and safe xoxo
Just like someone else mentioned when it’s hot out I do need extra help I found silicones when i was in Dominican Republic 🇩🇴 and it saved my hair from frying in the humidity. So I have been using mix chicks leave-in which has a silicone in it and it saves my hair everytime. But in the winter, fall and spring I try to stay silicone free.
My hair is super porous I can’t imagine styling without silicones. It locks the moisture in for me because my hair will absorb and lose moisture fast.
Silicones are a must for me!
Heyyy i stumbled upon your video cause i was actually looking to try the silicone hair products for my hair because i struggle alot with keeping my hair healthy and trying to figure out what works for me and im literally praying that this helps cause my hair needs it lol
Do you think it will block products from getting in my hair tho. Cuz i started using Aussie Miracle moisture and it has do much slip and i love it, but i dont wanna keep using it if eventually its gonna dry out my hair because i have low porosity hair? Do you think its good for low porosity hair? I just wanna know ahead of time.
I love silicone on my 4c hair type
its true I learned that my hair likes products that are made from oils not butters and creams
What brand of clarifying shampoo do you use btw? Also, yes on the side by side video vecina. 😊
I used streax hair serum after washing my hair that's all i use and it makes my hair amazing and it never damaged or did anything bad to my hair
It's been like 3 years and my hair is doing good even though i relaxed it and now it's in weird shape 😷
Your hair is beautiful love it, I have multiple hair texture also, sometimes when I use certain products i get white residue build up on my wash and twist..
TFS your curls are beautiful sweetie. Do what makes you feel good. Thanks for the tip on shampooing once a month
