Dimethicone is the most common silicone you find in hair care. If you're using a conditioner with it regularly and not washing often, it could be exacerbating frizz or dryness. It builds up easily and requires a harsh cleanser to remove--so not only is is locking out moisture, but you have to really strip your hair and scalp to get rid of it. I like to look for water-based humectants like honey and aloe, and light plant oils in a conditioner. You could go down some real rabbit holes on ingredients, and a lot that get a green light from safety organizations could still have serious environmental impacts. Which is why the general advice that I (and Jessica, which is why I'm here :) ) tend to give is just to simplify routines and buy less crap as much as possible.
Glad to be of use. I love talking smack on hair care. :)
THANK YOU!!
