One of haircare's most debated ingredients
Some people avoid silicones completely; others love the smoothness and shine they give. The truth is more balanced: not all silicones are the same, and the whole formula matters more than any single ingredient.
What do silicones do?
Depending on the type and formula, silicones can:
- Smooth the hair surface and reduce frizz
- Add shine
- Make hair easier to detangle and manage
- Help protect against humidity and heat
Are all silicones the same?
No. Some are lightweight and wash out easily. Others give longer-lasting smoothing and protection. Heavier types can build up on fine hair or an oily scalp if you never use a deep-cleansing shampoo.
Which hair suits what?
- Fine or oily hair: lightweight formulas and regular scalp cleansing. Try the Purify range with rosemary or the Thickening range.
- Dry, coarse or frizzy hair: extra smoothing and conditioning. See Hydration and Pro-Keratine.
- Coloured hair: softness and shine without stripping colour. See Colour Protect.
- Curly hair: definition without crunch. See My.Curling.
