Can you explain why that is? Is it that you regard silicones as "unnatural" or? TIA!
I believe that the silicones used in hair products are man-made. I have no problem with that part; I just don't want them in my hair for other reasons.But I would guess that Nightowlz was surprised because of SS's touting her "natural" ingredients. I really don't know because I don't watch her at all anymore.

I do not understand why people that do not like cones. They make hair great most evaporate as the hair dries and most cones used wash out easy. i never had product buildup or any negative issues with my hair and silicones

I like NC Mesquite hair serum, it makes my hair look fuller and gives it a lot of shine.

I'm not sure what you didn't understand about my post. If you like silicones in your hair products, fine. But some people don't, and I am one of them FOR THE REASONS I EXPLAINED IN MY LAST POST, including the fact that most are non-water-soluble and thus do not wash out easily, unless you use sulfate shampoos.

hm okay but aren't silicones made from natural silica, just manipulated a bit I guess it just falls into the relm of what definition of "natural" one uses, right?

Everything I can find states that the silicone we're talking about is man-made. It and silica may come from the same element, but silicones like dimethicone are produced in the lab. Silicone is a synthetic long-chain polymer.

I like Nick Chavez's Mesquite Hair Serum. It is GREAT! I highly recommend it.

Hello, Nitestar.
Glad you found something that works well for your hair. I use Nick Chavez Velvet Mesquite Serum for my hair and it works great.

Hmm, interesting. I haven't tried one product yet that has helped me with my dry hair so this peaked my interest. I never thought I would purchase from this line but am thinking about it. I will check out nick Chavez as well. I can't get pass my dry hair and everytime I try and use a bit more of any product, I end up with greasy hair.

I'm trying Living Proof's new serum, Satin hair serum. I like it so far and it doesnt have silicones. Silicones break my face and scalp break out like no tomorrow, so I have to make sure silicones are in the lower half of an ingredient deck and then I cross my fingers. Nitestar, glad you found something and I;m going to check it out as well. Southern coastal living is frizzing my hair!
