It's interesting. Whenever I check ingredient lists, I usually see more silicone in professional haircare than in some drugstore products 🤔

Shampoos arent supposed to contain silicone because instead of cleansing its just adding more silicone and buildup 😉

Best content about shampoos and conditioners one can ever find on KZfaq. Thank you.

I’ve been a stylist for 15 years and you break this down miraculously ❤️❤️

I love watching your videos! They are so informative and helpful! I’m so surprised you don’t have more followers! Keep up the good work! 💓

Very informative. As always.. Also, living for the Cruella look

Learning so much about hair care from your channel! Eye make up looks fantastic, too!

Thanks for your videos I'm learning so much for my hair xxxx

Mike your hair Looks FABULOUS 😍 ... another great video, Thanks 👍😊

Hello, Mike! You've been talking about claryfying the scalp a lot for silicone buildup, and I've been wondering; do I need a different shampoo than, let's say, a Kerastase, since that would have silicone too? Or is only shampooing twice enough? Thanks!

Hey Mike! Thank you so much for all your informative films! I have learned so much from watching you! Question: I have fine hair and have been using the Kerastase Genesis line. I love the smell and way it makes my hair feel but I find my hair feels a bit heavier than other shampoos. What is your Kerastase suggestion for someone with fine natural hair? ( fine natural red head here☺️)

I absolutely love your channel. I recently purchased the Kérastase Resistance on your recommendation. I absolutely love it! Makes my hair feel so soft and bouncy and has also made shinny and that is so hard for blonde hair. Thank you! 💕 from 🇦🇺.

Great channel! Definitely deserves a sub✌️

Hey i love your videos, i wanted to ask you two questions. One is what you think about Bumble and bumble while you sleep masque and go big treatment. Also is kérastase fusio scrub apaisant good for clarifying? Thank you

This is the first time I've seen a video from you. I found it by mistake when I was Googling something about silicone's. What a great video you're so awesome, thanks, Mike!! Here's help with one pronunciation - Dimethicone = Dye - meth - i (like the way you would say icky) - cone (like a cone for ice cream) = 4 syllables However, I like your idea of just putting them somewhere on the screen and it doesn't matter how you pronounce them. Take good care.

Appreciate the video👌What is your thought on ogx coconut milk shampoo for wavy hair

I was supposed to exercice 🙄 now im watching your channel since 1hour30 🤦‍♀️🥰 glad I found you . You look passionate about your subject 🌸 gonna order the kerastace genesis 😇

thank you so much, very interesting video !!can you please do one about what kerastase masks and conditioners that don't contain silicones!!!!

Yay 😊I’m glad I just bought that Kérastase line because of your information I love how well you explain everything for us

Great video! I was looking at a professional hair care line from a stylist on utube. I was going to buy their hair repair package until I got the ingredients list from them. Everything was ok until you got to their pre-styling oil based product. I’ll put the ingredients list below: cyclopentasiloxane, cyclomethicone, dimethicone, isopropyl myristate, c12-15 alkyl benzoate, phenyl trimethicone, avocado oil, certified organic argan nut oil, octyl methoxycinnamate,vitamin E, essential oils: patchoulli, organic sweet orange, rosewood, ylang ylang, clovebud It has 4 silicones, 3 on which are basically water insoluble. That’s just nuts and the first 3 ingredients are silicones. If it wasn’t for your video I wouldn’t have known what to look for. Thank you so much! I sent the company a reply email basically saying, “what the hell.”

I’m using the Kerastase CHROMA ABSOLU Bain Riche Chroma Respect sulfate free shampoo for color treated hair. Read ingredients and no silicones in it. My hair stylist used Kerastase Resistance Serum Therapiste before she blowe dried my hair. Should I put it on the scalp as well as mid shaft to ends? Or not put it on scalp. I haven’t bought it yet cause my salon is sold out of it. Going to buy it from another salon. Want to make sure I use it properly.

My hair is curly type 3b and ive been silicone-free for 10 years. I do the whole curly girl routine, but my hair is still as dry as a bone..should i switch to silicone leave ins?

Please list which high end brand shampoos to use. I want to buy them. Throwing away all of my drugstore shampoos.

Used to have very nice hairs. Lately struggle with built up , thus I m trying to educate myself . So glad I found your website . Very informative. Recently, new hair blow out lotion (Japan brand). After watching this video , i check that product -“ BANG” found dimethicone second in this list. Immediately Chuck in the bin

Really helpful.... thanks...!!

For me it’s not about whether there are silicones or not, but rather the quality of silicones that are used. I think of it like food ingredients. To an extent an egg is an egg, but not every egg is of the same quality. The taste and overall performance of that egg in your cooking is influenced by the quality of the egg. This is also true for silicones. To an extent dimethicone is dimethicone, but what is listed as dimethicone on an ingredient list may or may not be the highest quality. The overall formulation of the product also influences things like build up potential. There are cakes that are light and fluffy or dense and heavy, but both contain eggs and oil and butter etc. One of the best haircare brands I’ve ever used is Davines, and they use A LOT of water-insoluble silicones in their products. At the same time, I experience the fewest issues with buildup when I use Davines products. Silicones are also superior to any alternative at reducing friction and protecting against heat. So, are there products out there with silicones that suck? Yeah, totally. Is it also true that the most coveted, luxury haircare brands formulate with silicones? Absolutely. I don’t think any one ingredient can tell you much about what a product will do for you. The eggs, milk, and oil won’t tell you much about the characteristics or deliciousness of the cake that was made using those ingredients. The end product has a very different set of characteristics than any one of the ingredients in isolation.

Just looked at Kérastase nutritive magistral leave in and the second one is dimetocone. I don't know if I'm going to like this bit just bought it so we'll see.

The Kerastase Bain Force resistance Architect shampoo. Yay I am pleased to say has no silicones, but it has alcohol denat which is very drying. :( I thought I had found my perfect shampoo.

Great video. And though Kerastase is known as very good product for hair i checked a lot of them has dimethicone and amidimethicone as 2nd or 3rd ingredient. Does that mean on the long run kerastase could damage hair?

When you go to rinse a conditioner or especially a mask (masque) I recommend you add handfuls of water to the hair and work the conditioner into an emulsion or foam until it is dripping then rinse throughly. This will help remove as much excess product as possible and leave the hair cleaner and smoother.

But some Shampoos you recommend has silicone. Should I not use them ?

You new subscriber 👍 great work and great reviews ! Kudos to you for all the efforts . A question - which hair masks would you suggest for thin fine hair ? Saw ur vids n got the olaplex but as ny hair is dry n damaged too ither that being thin , I feel I need more hydration. However don't want to weigh my hair down with a mask too heavy for my thin n fine hair . Pls suggest 🙏

I would absolutely love and appreciate if you did a video or videos on the olaplex line and all the different silicones in each and explain the type. I literally love this line but im afraid it has the bad type of silicone 😫

Hello, wondering if you've tried Oribe, specifically the Gold Lust line? I hear good things but it's expensive. 🙃

If I use kerastase nutritive without a clarifying shampoo, is that gonna build up? I mean it's professional haircare, but every product of the line contains silicone And also some shampoos contain silicones and sulfates, so what happens then? Also i found out that bain satin 2 contains dimethicone which is 4th on the list there!?

I love my silicones and sulfates! I’m an 80’s girl so I grew up with them😂 bring it!😄

I think the sulfate before the silicone in the store brand shampoo would cancel out most of it anyway...

I just don't understand why manufacturers put silicones in shampoo. I have an old bottle of Redken shampoo which contains at least two silicones. I no longer use it.

hi mike!i wanted to ask if the silicones in bain satin 1 are safe for my hair...because i noticed that dimethicone is on the 4th place on the ingredient list and i really dont want any build up!

I’ve seen shampoos with sulfates and amodimethicone and non water sulable silicones which I steer clear! I also hate seeing people using clarifying shampoo and then coating there hair with conditioner with dimethicone as 2nd ingredient or have 2 or more silicones… I don’t understand why people do that.

Thanks so much for this video! I have a question 🙋🏼‍♀️ So, I have a lot of product buildup in my hair? I’m going to switch to Kerastase, but how do I remove the build up? I’ve heard clarifying shampoo’s are good! What one do you recommend?

This is very educational! I've been binge-watching your channel every night during the quarantine 😄. I used to have this wavy, voluminous hair up until my teenage years. As I grew older, the texture began to change and I can pretty much say it's totally thin and straight now. I don't know if it's because I've been washing it too often, or because I blow dry my hair every day or the drugstore products I use, or maybe something genetic or hormonal, since I was very very inattentive (guilty as charged 😂). But I think my hair is not dry nor damaged, it's just thin and limp now, no more waves and volume. Will the Kerastase Densifique range be the best for me to buy or will you recommend something else? Ps. Hair strands found on the floor still have that “s” shape.

I tried haircare without silicones and i couldnt comb my hair at all. I got split ends. I used henna and it dried my hair. I tried ayurvedic powders, aloe vera, oils and my hair looked bad. Now i really dont know what to do. I still use no sulfate shampoo which i like. But what about the conditioners...the natural ones dont detangle at all!

I just bought a leave in from Kerastase, guess what the second ingredient is after water, silicone. I can’t believe I didn’t notice that before buying. That can’t be good.

PSA for ingredient list readers: These are chemicals. Maybe dimethacone is the only silicon kerastase could find that played well with the other more expensive chemicals in the formula? We aren’t cosmetic chemists. Sometimes the “bad” chemical isn’t considered “bad” when paired with another that needs it to work, or even at a different ph. Just looking at ingredients lists tells you very little without a chemistry background. No beauty guru on KZfaq has this knowledge, even the doctors don’t- it is only the cosmetic chemists that can tell you when an ingredient is a problem or not- you need the entire list of ingredients to make that assessment

I'm currently thinking about getting the function of beauty shampoo and conditioner, it has an option to go silicone free or not - what do you think I should go for? My hair is medium structure and wavey and can be frizzy if that helps haha

Could you share your opinion on the WOW dream coat? It is a blow drying serum I was considering buying until I saw it is extremely silicone based.

Mike, do you have any opinion one way or the other on rice water for hair. I've seen a lot of info on it on KZfaq, both for skin care and hair care.

Thanks for the nice Video!! The John Frieda mask has even more silicone in it. The third ingredient is cyclopentasiloxane, which also is a silicone. Google said it is also hard to dissolve. I dont get why john Frieda is one of the more expensive drugstore Brands (At least in germany where j live) because they generally have Bad ingredients in my opinion.

Im in india , i bought serie expert biotin inforcer and it HAS DIMETHICONE and it is 6th on the list ! And then it has amodemithicon too which is about 11th on the list !

On the John Frieda you missed cyclopentasiloxane as a silicone

You can fit right in the Caribbean you speak so much alike.i think you have Irish definitely in the Caribbean.basically cousins

My hair tangles up really easily, that’s primarily why I use a leave-in. But silicones do seem to weigh my fine hair down. but I can’t get a comb through my hair without the leave-in. Have you heard of the hydrolyzed silk products and whether it would help with the detangling? Or can the silk also cause build-up?

Fantastic video

Wow I just found that tresemme has hairmask too, I never find it in my country...

heyy !! very deep and nice explaination. i would suggest to include brands like pantene and loreal paris, sunsilk too. The name of shampoo you too were not that familiar in India. its just an suggestion. but yaa i am going to look into my shampoo ingredient list again. one more question- does silicone affect in hairfall or not ? is pantene good for oily greasy thin hair, earlier my hairs use to be straight but now it has turn wavy, i want my old thick hair back :(

Dus chroma absolu color have silocone?

Dam true !!! Pharmacy hair care CANNOT touch kerastase !!! One product from kerastase can beat 3 pharmacy stores and their cheap hair care !!

I love your southern Irish accent 💚

Everyone needs to watch this

Can you tell us what shampoo with the lowest PH possible I am having a hard time finding one with ph of 3.0 to 4.5.

Hang on, I'm confused... You say here that dimethicone is a bad, cheap silicone, yet in another video you absolutely praise L’Oréal Professionnel Metal Detox Concentrated Oil where this ingredience is no 4 ingredient on the list. Please can you clarify this? Thanks 👍

Hello mike My hair is frizzy after the shower and feels dry I use loreal botanical shampoo the orange one and keratin contaning conditioner now am planning to buy Kerastase divalent but idk which conditioner can i use in this case Can u plz guide me ❤️

I'm here for the second time. Found this video just as good as the first. Can a build up of silicone lead to breakage?

What about using a silicone scalp massager? Is that just as bad as using shampoo with silicone?

Of course you won't find any more supermarket shampoo in your house. Hair snob 🤣♥️ love your videos. Binge watching you at mo 🙈😊

I just realized that most Kerastase products contain dimethicone. As it is said to be the cheapest silicone I am surprised that they are still considered so high-end. Got shocked that Olaplex No.8 has dimethicone on first place on the list....given how expensive it is.

Will you please make a video on kerastase bain prevention range?

On frizz ease you forgot cyclopentasiloxane

You said this, I think it was the second bottle, kerastase had no silicones but it does. It has polyquaternium it it. It's the new ,, silicone,, 😆.

Terimakasih, saya sangat suka video anda🥰🥰

It's a ciclic silicone volatile

Thanks for making this video. Silicone is a very cheap ingredient. That's why they are in all supermarket products.

I hate the green range my hair goes really bad on that range

Can yo u please do a review in the new shampoo and conditioner that is plastered all over the Internet “give me shampoo and conditioner “

❤️❤️❤️

That it’s why I hate Pantene it’s full of silicones.

You've more knowledge about hair care then a hair doctor. No doctor no stylist gave so much knowledge... Great 😊

Cyclopentasiloxane IS a SILICONE, a non water soluble one at that. Please do more research. Being a hair stylist does not mean you’re a silicone expert as you’ve clearly shown in your own silicone video. And some high end brands contain many more silicones than a drugstore brands. Sulfate shampoos don’t necessarily rinse out silicones, a CLARIFYING shampoo will. Ugh 😑
