Before I joined this site I used to used to use silicones in everything. Shampoos, conditioners, and leave in hair products like mousse, hairspray,gel, creams etc.
I became more aware in the longhair community and stopped using cones in everything. I immediately noticed my hair being more healthy. It had more volume, it was more moisturized, I didn't have to wash it as often, etc.
The only problem is that without cones it's hard to detangle my hair.
I recently slept over a friends house and used a silicone Pantene conditioner in her shower stall.
I have 3b/3c hair and it usually takes me 1 hour to detangle my hair. But when I used a silicone conditioner I detangle do my hair in quarter of that time!
I want to have the best of both world. I want easy detangled hair which means less breakage but I don't want my hair to feel dry and weighed down which cones do to my hair.
I think I will find some middle ground. Instead of completely avoiding cones or banishing them in every product I use, I will only use them when I detangle.
I won't use it in my shampoos or hair products.
I'll just use a cone conditioner as a pre- poo so I can detangle with ease., and just wash the cones out with a sulfafe shampoo after. Then I can deep condition with my cone free conditioner.
