I recently bought a new shampoo witch doesn't contain any silicone and it's supposed to be pretty gentle against the hair, it also contains Aloe Vera yoghurt extract.
But the conditioner however contains Amodimethicone, i'm wondering if that's good or bad for the hair?
Anything with "cone" at the end contains silicone. No conditioner lists "silicone" directly on it. It coats the hair shaft and prevents moisture, etc. from entering. Many people experience excessively dry hair when "cones" are used.
Silicones are great products.
