I'm not anti or pro silicone. Personally my hair (fine, thin) hates them, makes it stick straight and odd feeling, and very very flat. However my husband, who has massive amounts of hair that "poufs" and has a wave you wouldnt believe, MUST have silicone, its the only thing that seems to make his hair not look like a tumbleweed.
Though its said silicone can "seal the hair" and then prevent moisture intake of the hair, sealing it out, clarifying once in a while should take care of that (thats what hub does before a moisture treatment)..... then goes back to his cones.
Though the "Science" behind the possible moisture lock out of silicones seems pretty true to me, I haven't exactly seem someone's hair damaged by silicones. I think more damage is done by bleach, box colors, and lack of care, than a silicone.
I say, if your hair likes it, ditch popular theory and opinion, and do what your hair likes best, you'll be happiest for it.
