Who doesn't want shiny, glossy hair?
Shiny hair is the ultimate symbol of youth, health and vitality. So what is it that causes so many people to crave shine and why don't more people have it naturally?
Culturally, in the west we have an emphasis of beauty norms like having perfectly highlighted, blow dried hair. But doing these things takes its toll on hair. Hair, at the end of the day is a fragile structure. Once it is damaged it is hard to rectify and generally damaged hair tends to be much less shiny.
Enter Silicones
Silicones have been around in hair products since the 80's. Generally marketed as 'smoothing', 'Frizz Controlling' They are a quick fix when it comes to adding shine to hair but that is the problem. They add shine, rather than enhancing it naturally.
Silicones are like a band aid for damaged hair, concealing what is underneath by shrink wrapping the hair shaft. This instantly makes hair feel softer, easier to manage, less frizzy and shinier. So, what's the catch?
The problem with coating hair with silicones is that they gradually build up on hair over time. This worsens hairs internal condition over time by not allowing any conditioning or moisturising ingredients to actually penetrate the hair structure, so no nourishing benefits are received, causing it to dry out further.
So here's the deal
I’m not saying to never use silicones. Silicones do have a purpose and can be useful used in moderation. If your hair is in very dry and damaged condition, you may find it near on impossible to not use conditioning products with Silicones as they are the only things that will make you hair 'appear' better and make it more manageable. Some people with heavily chemically processed hair may just find that silicones in hair products just work better for them, and that is fine.
But what I am saying, to those of you who are fed up with your hair never actually improving, is that silicones could be part of the problem, and taking steps to detox form them could really help your hairs condition over time, even building back natural shine!
