Thank you Michelle! I've become so sick of all the pseudoscience in the curly hair community. After spending so much money on sulfate and silicone free haircare, I am going back to normal shampoo and conditioner and it does not damage my curls, in fact, they've never looked better! The sulfate and silicone free haircare I've used tends to have tonnes of irritating essential oils by the way.
I went through the same thing. So much money on different products, and I ended up going back to the sulfate-full shampoo I've used since the 1980s.
Sulfates and silicones are not evil! However I just want to remind that everybody's hair different! My curly hair hates silicone with the passion of a burning sun, I wouldn't have known that if I haven't tried the curly girl method. I do use mild sulfates though. Some curly hair can tolerate sulfates and silicones, some don't. Honestly I kinda envy people whose hair can tolerate them because it would be sooo much easier to find products.
I agree. As a qualified hairdresser (and curly), there is lots of science behind the products that we're not taught on our training. I too got a bit fed up with the general ignorance, and found myself gravitating towards information from board certified dermatologists or cosmetic scientists. And my conclusion is that hair, like skin, is different for everybody, and, like skin care, we just have to try out different products instead of following dogmatic pseudoscience.
The curly hair community wants to feel special and UNiQUE, and they can do that by claiming to use better products or be more "informed". At the end of the day though, they're just getting swindled with the rest of clean beauty advocates.
If they're going to advocate for sulfate and silicone free, they should come with a good reason like personal preference. Nobody can dispute that.
Yes those added essential oils can be so upsetting to my scalp as well
First and foremost, your title! I so appreciate when creators put IN THE TITLE about sponsorships/partnerships. Of course, honesty is just you, so I'm not surprised. But I greatly appreciate it, and it doesn't go unnoticed how transparent you are.
And thank you for making science so interesting! I hope your channel keeps growing because the world needs you!!
I SO agree about the title 👏Hiding sponsorships feels so slimy, and this doesn't make me trust the info any less! Yay for this channel ❤️
sponsorships need to be disclosed by law 🤭
Best. Ads. Ever.
We come for the science, and you use the sponsored products to educate (and make me laugh, "It's like peer pressure but for molecules").
Brands should be throwing money at you. You're one influencer I would still trust even if every single video had sponsored content.
“Sulfate-free” is a brilliant marketing move. People will use excessive amount of shampoo because psychologically we associate foam with cleanliness.
exactly - and you don't need to do it twice either
@SueRosalie Right. Lathering twice all of the time wrecked my hair.
Sulfate - Free does not mean Foam - Free you can have a sulfate - free formula that lathers well.
@SueRosalie depends on how often you wash, I wash mine once a week because it doesn't get greasy and I shampoo twice since it is dirtier than hair that is washed every day
And THIS is why I love watching your channel. I usually come away feeling smarter than when I started. Cheers.
That's fantastic to hear! 😊
You’re getting a lot of hair requests from us recently but could you please do a scalp video as it’s technically skin but I feel like there’s a lot of conflicting information out there? I’d love to know which anti dandruff shampoos work too.
Thanks for your informative videos!
Ditto for sure on wanting her to do a scalp and/or anti-dandruff shampoo video!
I need better answers than the ones I found in journal articles (through google searching) that are either 1) sponsored by a specific hair or skin care company (leading to a possibly huge bias to make the company happy), 2) mainly opinion pieces with little to no credibility and/or sources (with possible personal biases, think "mom blogs"), 3) vague as all hell, or 4) completely unrelated.
Getting good info on any self-care is astonishingly difficult, which is why I'm glad this channel, and the videos she makes, exists!
I read a book about the structure of hair for an assignment and it said that knots, which are prevented by making hair slippery using silicone, are the main cause of hair breakage! I was like why does everyone hate silicone then?
I know personally that when I use silicones my hair gets weighed down and oily super quickly. Does that refer to all silicones? Who knows? Often the ingredient list is just way too small and long to check especially in a shop with my toddler in tow. So I try to get silicon free products.
Silicon weighs down my hair and makes it limp in a day. Silicones are not the only ingredient that prevents knots during washing. Sulphates help with that. I like my shampoos silicon free with a huge dollop of sulphates. 🤣
@@barbaraz.5396 from another video, she talks about there being so many different types of silicones. You might have been using silicones that are heavier?
As someone with fine straight hair that tangles easily can confirm that silicones are a must have for me. I get my hair bleached and during the first no conditioner wash my hairstylist has to spend ages detangling
@@barbaraz.5396 Yes! there are different types of silicones!
I gave up on the sulfate free shampoo when I realized my scalp issues were connected to those shampoos/conditioners. My scalp just wasn't getting cleaned properly. Going back to sulfate shampoos helped a lot. I love your channel for the straightforward and informative content!! It is very much appreciated.
Wait, you might be on to something… I’m gonna go back to sulfate shampoos to see if that’ll help my scalp issues
I am allergic to SLS, I get a very nasty rash when I use products containing them. And it's happened so many times I just avoid everything with it in. BUT I wouldn't tell my friends & family to stop using them in the absence of symptoms. My allergy is not their allergy. In the same way, I haven't stopped eating eggs because my friend is allergic to them.
Well stated. Took a lot of trial and error to figure out SLS was causing lesions on my scalp and the insides of my cheeks to slough off. Gross but true 😬 I'm grateful the trend has made SLS free cleansers and toothpastes readily available but it's not like everyone has to avoid it!
As an aspiring science communicator, I just have to say I loved your incorporation of analogies, your whole channel philosophy, how you use humour and your personality, and more to make this science engaging and relatable. Thanks Michelle!
"It's like peer-pressure but for molecules" LOVE IT
I know men's beard care probably isn't your thing, but could you give any guidance or recommendations for what sort of ingredients I should look for in beard products?
I’m a woman but since I don’t see as many ppl talking about it I think it would be rly fair if she could do something related to this… Leaving a comment in hopes this can help!!
Leaving a like and comment just because beard community need help as well. (Although I don't have any)
All of the beard care youtubers I can find have an this obnoxious macho dudebro on cocaine vibe, and they don't seem to know anything about the science
Just the fact you are even acknowledging it needs product makes you a God amongst men x
Add me to the list of people who need it, I feel like all the beard oils I use don't help with the itch, but I also have eczema, so idk if there even are beard oils that could help
The 'natural' wellness craze has spooked people to be scared of ingredients they don't understand, but we're not all chemists, so of course we don't understand their function/ mechanisms! Thanks for sharing some of the evidence :)
I've been using the ordinary haircare for a couple of months and my scalp has stopped being irritated. Love it!
I use function of beauty, but price wise im gonna convert to Ordinary hair care. I literally did a whole project on the idea of The Ordinary doing haircare before it came out so Imm super super excited!
Literally just used the Ordinary conditioner which I absolutely love on my afro hair hair. It really soften it. Beauty Bay have just created similar products I'm going to test some tonight.
does the conditioner have enough slip to detangle?
@@jiafeistan7657 yes
Do you have 4C hair? 😃
@@BabyGirl-cw6uj I have 4A-4B hair
I've been looking for a video like this for years! I can't thank you enough for explaining so thoroughly and succinctly!!!!! 🤩
I prefer sulfate-free shampoos and products in general because they are too drying on my skin, scalp and hair on an everyday basis. They felt even more drying when I used them in France because the water is so hard. Just, when I arrived in the US and Canada I've realised that the hardness of water was an important factor in the health of my skin and hair. Instantly I observed that they were less irritated, dehydrated. They felt good and confortable. My hair has always been shiny but damn it has never been so healthy. Just so you know I use the same products I used in France because I didn't want them to go to waste.
Nevertheless, since a year I've began to incorporate more sulfate products in my hair and skin routine little by little and it felt great. I use from time to time an anti-dandruff shampoo for prevention. My scalp feels greasier more rapidly than with sulfate-free shampoos and the ends of my hair drier. It is just a feeling and I don't feel there is really a difference in the greasiness. I use sometimes a sulfate body wash when I've been wearing water-resistant sunscreen. It is easier that way and I don't need to double-cleanse.
Love, love love this!!!
Could you do an up to date video on Keratin smoothing treatments , versus chemical/ permanent straighting systems on hair? I'd use it for my clients understanding.
You're a fecking legend mate!
I am so over sulfate-free stuff, and it's getting harder to find sulfates! I did curly girl method strictly for a year and going sulfate and silicone free genuinely ruined my scalp health and hair. I had horrific sores on my scalp and my hair started breaking off at the root. I even noticed some hair loss. But I persisted because it was "better." I finally gave up and went back to naughty sulfates and silicones and my scalp sores and itching went away and my hair slowly returned to being healthy.
Same! CGM gave me dandruff and hair loss. now that I use silicone again my hair stopped snapping off and breaking.
Thanks for explaining the basic chemistry and I'm loving the use of structural formulas 😍
Your glowing recommendation for amodimethicone in your earlier hair care videi was so helpful to me. I have a lot of fine hair that tends to be unruly as it's a bit curly (but not curly enough to actually curl and look nice). Other silicones tend to weigh my hair down and it it feels dirty and lank quickly. I love my amodimethicone containing conditioner though. Leaves my hair silly, hardly any tangles and I still only need to wash twice a week 👌🏻
*edit * silky not silly 🤦🏻♀️
Yay! Yes amodimethicone is so underrated, glad it worked for you! 🥳
I have fine, wavy/curly hair. Out of curiosity, what shampoo and conditioner do you use? I'm trying to find something I like. I also got a giggle out of your typo.
I have the same hair too. Yes please tell us your secrets!
which conditioner you use?
amazing channel, by far the best source of reliable informations about ingredients and more. thank you so much
I love your transparency on the ad disclosure. Love your content! Keep up the good work
Thanks so much for this! I've been so confused about hair care after trying the curly girl thing for a few years. I heard so much random advice and bought so many expensive products that never really helped my hair to look and feel nice. Would really enjoy more hair care science from you if you feel like making videos about that!
Love this! I have super thick curly hair and when I started to learn how to take care of it
I got into the 'sulfate/silicone-free' hype. The curly girl method worked really well for me and I really believed that it was because of the formulas of the hair care I used. These products were very expensive though and I couldn't afford them anymore and went back to 'normal' hair products. I do try to buy products that are specifically for drier hair types but always go for affordable drug store brands. I was surprised to see that the switch didn't make any difference and in fact that silicones made my hair way easier to handle and detangle. Looking back the only things in the curly girl method that really made difference to my hair were detangling with conditioner, not using heat tools as much and learning how to style and handle my hair while it is drying. My scalp also improved when I quit the curly girl method.
some of those cgm groups are full of hysteria and fearmongering
Yes! I always adore these videos and learn so much
Thanks for the content, I really appreciate the sciencey explanations as someone who is starting out on a bit of a haircare journey. Could you possibly make a playlist with all your haircare vids? That would be super helpful :)
Brilliant work, as usual. Thank you for the thorough breakdown of shampoos and conditioners in such a clear, concise manner.
Thank you!
This is the video I have been waiting for! Thanks so much. Have you done a breakdown of bar shampoo/ conditioners?
Wow I learned more about hair care in this video than I have in 10 years old doing my own trial and error 😂 thanks so much Michelle! I know you don't have curly hair, but I would Love it if you could do a similar video that dives deeper into how to combat frizz and the chemistry behind frizz and how to define curls.
I love your channel -- thank you so much for your straightforward and educated explanations. Finally someone explains what's REALLY going on in products, based on actual science! I'd be very interested to see what you make of products that claim to repair damage at the molecular level like Olaplex and K18 (and maybe some of their lesser known wannabes).
She breaks it down it makes so much sense TY
Would love to see a deep dive on other haircare products ie. Leave in conditioner, hair masks etc ❤
Thanks Michelle! This was very enlightening 👌
Hi Michelle! This video makes me wonder about what your thoughts are on shampoo bars? Are there any that are well formulated (effective) and not too likely to irritate scalps?
Would love to know this too !!
Your problem there is going to be fragrance. Most of them have a bunch of fragrance and essential oils in them. Then you've got things like African Black Soap bars from Shea Moisture et. al. which I wouldn't touch with a 10 foot pole because it's literal soap with an extremely high pH. I've found one that doesn't really have fragrance in it (Shampoo with a Purpose) at least in Australia, but eh....it's full of oils and that just ain't that good for me personally re: back and face and also I just doubt it has the cleansing power I need it's more like a co-wash than a shampoo (I can get dandruff).
They seem to use a lot of non-fragrant oils as their basis and one mild surfactant. ..then all the essential oils or herbal extracts on top.
General cleansing you've got QV and DermaVeen in Australia that offer fragrance free soap-free bars.
I'm curious what you think about Necessaries products that are pH balanced for skin care. This includes their shampoo and conditioner.
Thanks for another great video. I'd love to see one on eco friendly beauty products (e.g., shampoo and conditioner bars). I've made the change for reasons largely related to not shipping water weight and plastic free packaging but I'm less confident about the ingredients themselves. A lot of them seem to have bought into the whole sulfate and silicone free hype.
I got the conditioner on a whim and man...my hair loves it. Specifically my scalp, which has always been my main struggle. It is very interesting to hear more info about how the product's ingredients work! Maybe I'll check out the cleanser.
Just a shame the bottle is so small.
Absolutely love your content!
Definitely happy to see a hair video and would be happy to see more! I've got thin hair that gets greasy easily and a very sensitive, dry, and angry (very scientific term! lol) scalp, so I could use all the hair/scalp knowledge I can get.
I have this hair type too - I’ve been using the ordinary shampoo & conditioner for a couple of months now and I’m really impressed! My scalp isn’t irritated anymore and as a result I’m not losing as much hair in the shower, so my hair has gotten thicker! Still have to use dry shampoo though to deal with oil unfortunately 🥲
Would LOVE your recommendations for thinning hair for seniors. Thanks!!
Me too!
@@bluecurlygirl I advocate for caffeine products that stay on the scalp.
Can you please talk about Anti-Hair Loss shampoo? And why they usually don’t come with conditioner in anti-hair loss category. Is Rosemary and Caffeine really good to prevent hair loss. I am currently using Aromatica anti-hair loss range, which I quite like.
In my experience (a.k.a. no studies being cited here) caffeine does help to grow hair faster and longer. I think giving it a shot is a good idea.
I guess an anti-hairloss conditioner wouldn't work, because your hair grows out of roots which are on your scalp. The visible hair is already dead, that's why cutting it doesn't hurt. Just like nails :)
Thanks for this.
Very interesting, particularly about the conditioners.
Wow, I was wondering why some conditioners give me back acne and some not! Thank you for explaining this!!! I will never skip scrubbing after conditioning with those ingredients. ❤
That was intense! Thanks for bringing the science HARD 🤘⚡
Glad you enjoyed it! 😄
I really liked this video, it was actually very informative learning how cleansing agents work. You should make a video discussing about window films that can protect against UV light. I know that a few exist on the market and some even can give protection into the UVA spectrum of light.
I loved this video! Ingredient analysis of hair care products is interesting to me because it allows me to look at the ingredients label and get a good idea of whether I will like the product or not, without spending the money or time to try it myself.
I'm wondering what the special ingredients or lack of ingredients makes a shampoo or conditioner curly-hair-friendly. Most curly hair tends to be dry, I believe, so conditioners are probably involved. But is there any specific ingredient that brings out the curl in hair?
I very much enjoy your videos and appreciate learning the science behind products. Thank you for producing these videos!
I can't even begin to tell you how much I love your content! 💜 The best thing is that you don't only tell us what product is bad or good, but give us the tools to learn and decide ourselves 😍🦕🥳
Thank you so much for this. Your channel has saved my life lmao. Could you please make a video about hair styling products? Or do you have any recommendations for sources to read about this?
I'm so confused about them and what different ingredients do and what types of hair benefit from what. I can't trust 99% of sources because it's all just trying to sell a product.
Thank you so much for this omg. I took minimal care of my hair until last year, only using cheap drugstore shampoo and conditioner and my hair was always smooth and healthy. Just started using expensive silicone free products last year and now my hair is a frizzy mess. Can't wait to use up my current products and replace them with a nice set of silicone containing Herbal Essences shampoo and conditioner again
which herbal essence products you use?
Give away your current ones on an app like olio. It's not worth the trauma ❤️
Good video:) I like reading comments, because it only shows that there's no one universal haircare spec: everyone seems to react differently to different ingredients.
Personally, my hair is indifferent to silicon and so on, but the moment I use shampoos with sls, the skin on my head and down the back (where the shampoo is washed down) turns into Itch Central.
A while ago I moved to the bar shampoos and conditioner, and that works great so far, and results in fewer bottles cluttering my shower!
Please make a video on best products for thinning hair, great video. Thanks
I have naturally coarse hair. A lot of people think my hair texture is due solely to dryness which... idk what to say, I'm just born with it. Because of this, a lot of hairstylists recommend sulphate free shampoos and tell me not to wash my hair every day. Honestly though I think if I skipped a wash day and got my hair done the next day, they'd probably change their tune. It is very frustrating when hairstylists do not believe me when I say a certain product doesn't suit me. Equally frustrating when they can't tell the difference between damage and my natural texture
Brilliant we need more videos like this! 💙🙏🏻🕊🌞
Awesome topic!! You probably just gave the good old fashioned “sulfate” shampoos a major boost in sales (not to mention The Ordinary), and people everywhere are breathing a sigh of relief that’s it’s okay to buy regular shampoos (and hopefully save some money as well).
That's absolutely how I feel. I have long, thick, wavy hair, and go through a lot of product. I couldn't afford to be buying bougie, sulfate and silicone free stuff and have returned to cheap Pantene, which works really well for my hair.
Thank you for this video!!!
THANK YOU for explaining the cationic/fatty alcohol relationship! I had read that they had a synergistic relationship but couldn't figure out why.
Surfactants (foaming ones, not emulsifiers) make my head spin. I can formulate a face cream from scratch, but the most I can do with cleansers is adjust the concentrations and swap out the other ingredients. I understand while someone is explaining how they interact and I can write it all down, but ten minutes later it's nonsense.
Color: I've got dry hair thanks to wearing cotton scrub caps. I love washing my hair with conditioner containing 4% cocamidopropyl betaine. My color lasts much longer this way too! I do have to use regular shampoo every couple weeks and clarifying shampoo about once a month, but the cleansing conditioners are great for everyday use.
So glad you made this video to rid me of my guilt of using products with sulfate
So informative, thanks!
Thanks for the review. I have hard water and need a strategy. Love 💕 your channel.
There are water softener shower filters. But she’s the one that knows!
I wash with just conditioner, and use a silicone scalp massager to get more physical removal instead of chemical. Would love to hear more about what effects types of conditioners have!
I don’t think you are washing your hair if you are just using conditioner and over time you make experience more buildup. Not a professional but I think you should clean your scalp at the least
thanak for uploading this!, your videos are always so helpful
Thank you for this video. I get seborrheic dermatitis and needed another shampoo for my in between Nizoral Shampoo days. I had purchased Sukin shampoo, but didn’t think it was helping. I’m now going back to a normal sulphate shampoo
STELLAR work i love you r channel i always learn something :)
Awesome info! Can you do one about children's products - haircare, sunscreen and soaps? I have toddlers and I can't determine if I still need to buy child-specific products (mainly shampoos since they are young enough that they might get some in their eyes). But I know some parents with longer-haired/curly-haired kids aren't sure when it's OK to start using conditioners or detangling products.
the world needs more science communicators like you, we're surrounded by so much misinformation!
Thank you!
Wow, I am really always completely immune to UA-camrs' sponsor ads, because they don't really sell the product to me well. I am actually looking into the The Ordinary shampoo now, because you broke it down _so well!_ Kudos!
Awesome video!! Could you do more videos about hair products and their ingredients? Or maybe even talking about some of the myths in the curly hair community??
This is very enlightening
I’ve been using the ordinary shampoo & conditioner for a couple of months now and am loving the results! My hair type is fine, frizzy and a mix of waves/curls (think Merida from Brave…). Previous scented shampoos have set off my acne, as well as my eczema on my hands and scalp, which in turn caused a lot of hair fall. With the ordinary products my acne and eczema have calmed down and my hair is thicker and shinier while still keeping my waves. Really impressed :-)
Would love a video from near infrared light with all your knowledge!💕
Thank you for this! I am getting sick of these attention-hungry fearmongers all over the internet that try to spread misinformation without backing it up. I sub and liked as soon as I listen. Greetings from sunny Florida!!
I am Asian so I have oily skin and hair.
I have thought about shampooing Les maybe every other day, or use less, so it's less damaging. I don't really have any symptoms like itchiness or fallout but at 39 I need to start watching out 😅
Thanks Michelle for another great video! I was wondering if you would consider talking about another hair related topic; hair dryers, and the anti-frizz technology they use (whether or not it's bullshit haha).
Thanks for the info! I used a sulfate-free shampoo for colored hair that felt way too stripping. I’m curious what it is about the formulation that made the shampoo act exactly the opposite of how it was advertised
Really liking your jumper Michelle xx
Amazing thank you so much !
I'd love your opinion on strengthening/protien treatments (hydrolysized silk, keratin, amino acids, olaplex, ect)
this is a great video!
Kinda disappointed that this basic shampoo is $10.40 for 240ml. The Ordinary is known for being inexpensive and affordable so a basic product costing that much is a bit ridiculous. Most drugstore shampoos are $1.40/100ml and this is $4.33! WTF?!
Something interesting to explore would be leave in conditioner vs regular conditioner. I live in California and hate wasting water to rinse conditioner from my hair, but I never know if the leave ins are as good!
Leave ins are wonderful! Try it out & you’ll see.
Very interesting! Do you know if sulphate free shampoo is necessary after Brazilian Blowout or similar keratin hair treatments?
I love your jumper - did you make it?
This is wonderful! Will be sending to my clients! Have you heard of K18, Bioscience? Kind of loving this right now!
My psoriasis and eczema on my scalp thank your for your knowledge and levelheadedness! Now I know I can look for gentle sles shampoos that will clean my nasty noggin without making it upset. 😊
Hi Michelle, thank you for the nice details. I have noticed some conditioners cause hair fall more than the others. Not just during detangling in the shower but outside the shower too. Is there any specific reason for that?
I'm pretty sceptical of hair products like shampoos and conditioners because my hair was always frizzy and would lose half of it's curl. It only got better with "natural" products but I'm starting to wonder if it just helped protect my hair from a heavy handed towel dry lol I'd love to hear recommendations on shampoos and conditioners and I wonder about soap bar forms. I've also been using coconut oil before I shampoo like you've recommended and it works really well, but would conditioner even do anything for your hair after that?
Michelle what about the other Ordinary scalp products? The density booster and the HA moisturiser? Love your videos . X
I haven't actually tried them, sorry!
Please review them without trying them. I mean the ingredients. Do they make sense? My experience is that you need so much product to cover your scalp, much more than “a few drops”.
Thank you for uploading this. My mom is hell bent on only using salon hair care. Not that it's bad but I don't notice much difference in using them compared to what I buy at Costco or my local grocery store. I do like the hair mask It's a 10 though, I find it hard to find the drug store version of that product.
Wow, been looking for a cruelty free shampoo with sulfates and without salt forever!🎉
Also, what do you think of dry shampoo Michelle? I see a lot of negative coverage, but often from the same people who fear monger about “chemicals”. I find it really helpful in not having to wash my (usually very oily) hair every day, especially in summer. But, are there long term consequences that will catch up with me eventually?
A video on biodegradability of ingredients plz
Ordinary branching out skin care and Lab Muffin branching out sun blocker _connaissancé_
I've also found my hair loves amodimethicone 🤣 (after learning about it from one of your videos). I found a few products that seem to work well in my hair- john frieda frizz ease and detox & repair hair masks, and to a lesser extent, the essano keratin conditioner.
Did you crochet your jumper ? It looks great 😌
I love SLES - that +PQ-10 and CAPB = perfect shampoo for me. My conditioner of choice is stearamidopropyl dimethylamine (2.2%)+PQ-10. I make my own shampoo, conditioner, body wash.
Thanks Michelle for all your content 😊 you had made a video on collogen supplements four years ago...are you able to make an updates video on it for 2022? Thanks❤️
This vid is so timely, I’ve been so mixed up on the science behind hair products
Did you crochet your sweater?! It’s beautiful!
Thank you for this! People never believe me when I tell them that Pantene conditioner works as well as many ‘luxury’ brands. It had everything a conditioner needs ( plus the silicone my hair loves best) and no unneeded ingredients ( eg organic plant oils and extras) which do nothing but drive up the cost. The shampoo actually cleanses better and leaves my hair feeling and looking better than specialty brands, which nearly all the time are ordinary shampoo in a costly bottle .
Pantene pioneered silicones in hair products and made a fortune
@@SueRosalie I had no idea! Kind of cool
SLS in toothpaste flakes off skin in my mouth and in shampoo, the skin off my scalp. SLES however, seems fine. If my conditioner has ' stronger ' silicones such as Dimethecone instead of ' weaker ' silicones such as Amodimethecone, will it still cleanse adequately? A lot of silicone free shampoos have coconut oil, something too heavy for my hair that also breaks me out while silicone shampoos make my hair feel a lot smoother and tangle a lot less without making it greasy and weighed down like coconut oil. Weirdly enough, the best my hair ever feels is when I use those one week hair color tinted treatment things! I've used the Etude House one and the Knight and someone ( in England ) one and they are both lovely, perhaps because of their coating and conditioning nature.
love this information and love the ordinary sponsorship and love tge transparency! however, i don't understand why the ordinary hair products are so expensive - the quantity is way too low to justify the cost. dermaveen has 500ml fragrance free for $19 for example
