Anyone??? You dont need to be an expert, just wondering about the ingredients...

[dropinthebucket]

hmn, doesn't look like it's silicone free - there's dimethicone and amodimethicone in it - were you looking to avoid silicones that build up? i'm not very 'cone knowledgeable, so not sure if this is one of the water-soluble ones or not, but it's definitely a 'cone. possibly also the methyli...crap, can't spell it... the other one that ends with 'one' :)

Here (http://tightlycurly.com/ingredients/) is a link for an ingredients dictionary. I hope this helps a bit. :)

Call me cynical, but considering its Vegan, SLS and paraben free, it does have a lot of sulphate substitutes and silicones in it... ?

And what on earth are all those things with numbers in them? I have no idea, does anyone else?

I've found that shampoos with silicones always cause build up on my hair.
I notice that dimethicone in included in the list of ingredients here.

After much trial and error I've come to the comclusion that the fewer ingredients in a shampoo the better......plus if I can't pronounce any of the ingredients I tend not to buy it.

[FluffSpider]

To my knowledge Dimethicone is not water soluble... And yes, the ingredient list is quite big. And not so readable....
(the numbers are probably some radicals positions in the chemical structure)
I wouldn't really buy this. There are WAY too many ingredients which have a '?' in my brain...

[aenflex]

Cones in shampoo hasve always been a bit pointless to me?? That list of ingredients is not what I would consider 'all natural'...just a bunch of gentle 15-letter words.

The better questions is - How does your hair like it? :)
