I was off silicones for around 5-6 years, but never saw the night and day improvement some people do. I gave it a very fair shot, and probably spent thousands dollars on silicone free products.

I recently have come back to them after watching a few of Abby Young's YouTube videos. My hair has consistently looked better ever since! Less frizzy, less tangly, less dry appearing. I don't have a true problem with breakage, but even less breakage it seems. My hair is short however. 2a/b, high porosity, low density.

Anyone have a similar experience? Also, if you've used silicone products long-term, how have they seemed to have affected your hair?

TIA!
