You have to go back several decades to get to the root of silicone in the world of cosmetology. In almost all facets of the beauty industry, while this material is ubiquitous in usage, the debate as to whether it is harmful still rages. When it comes to using silicone hairspray or other silicone hair products, some women are still skeptical. Others, however, believe that silicone brings many benefits and is helpful for their hair's appearance.
We are going to take a close look at silicone and its many benefits.
What Is Silicone?
The synthetic material known as silicone is produced by mixing hundreds of elements together. Mainly, silicon and oxygen, however. When it comes to hair, it gives it a shiny, smooth, and curly affect, but also protects it with a coating. Where hair products are concerned, there are several types of silicone. The chemical properties of particular types of silicone offer various results.
Silicone Has Its Advantages
As an inert material, silicone is commonly used for its protective capacity as a constituent of hair products. It helps protect the hair shaft. Silicone does not penetrate inside the stem when applied to hair, but rather, wraps around the outside. It is an innovative care product for anti-frizz thanks to this feature. Hair is protected from moisture courtesy of the layer formed by the silicone. Therefore, hard to manage hair is easier to style and a little less rebellious.
Silicone protects against the detrimental effects of heat by forming a protective barrier. Heat damage can be caused by curling irons, blow drying, etc. Silicone can even help protect your hair against the rays of the sun. Ultraviolet rays can be extremely damaging to not only your skin, but hair as well. Hair looks shiny because it is protected by the exterior layer that silicone provides. To protect their hair and wigs, many women today turn to spray masks, shampoo, or some other silicone-containing product to provide protection, shine, and softness to hair.
Types of Silicone
As mentioned, there are various types of silicone that can be used for hair products. Some of these are as follows:
Dimethicone copolyol - This provides very little buildup because it is lightweight and water-soluble. In conditioning shampoos, it is frequently used.
Amodimethicone - To stick to your hair better, this is modified. It can be challenging to remove, but conditions well.
Dimethicone - This is the least expensive silicone and the most commonly used in haircare products. For adding shine and conditioning, it's great.
Cyclomethicone – When it comes to haircare, this is commonly used as well. It won’t leave build-up on your hair because it evaporates. It gives hair a smooth, silky feel.
