Hair is completely incapable of absorbing silicone.
It is `suspected` of being an ingredient that causes allergies, weakens hair, makes it prone to breakage, causes dandruff and itchy scalp.
Types of silicone and how to identify hair care products containing silicone
There are two types of silicone:
Water-Soluble-Silicones (Water-Soluble-Silicone):
With such a name, we can easily understand that this type of silicone can be easily washed out of hair with water.
Non-Water-Soluble Silicones (Silicone does not dissolve in water)
This silicone does not have the ability to `merge` with water, so if you want to remove this silicone layer, you need to use a deep cleansing shampoo.
To `preserve the life` of your hair, you should `be willing to get acquainted` with care products that contain water-soluble silicone, or preferably with natural hair care ingredients.
