Silicone-free hair care
Silicones are common ingredients in shampoos, conditioners and styling products. They put a smooth layer around the hair, instantly making it look soft, shiny and frizz-free. But more and more people these days are opting for a shampoo without silicones. At Salontotal.co.uk you will find both products with and without silicones, so you can consciously choose what best suits your hair routine.

What are silicones?
Silicones are synthetic ingredients that form a smoothing and protective layer around the hair. They fill irregularities in the hair shaft, giving your hair an instantly smooth and shiny appearance. There are wash-out silicones (water-soluble) and non-wash-out silicones (water-repellent). The latter in particular can build up on your hair if you don't use a cleansing shampoo. This is also known as build-up.
Advantages of silicones in hair products
- Instant shine: Makes hair visibly smoother and softer.
- Protection against heat and moisture: Ideal when blow-drying, styling or humid weather.
- Less frizz and tangles: Especially useful for dry, porous or frizzy hair.
- Easier to comb through: Helps reduce knots and breakage.
Disadvantages and why choose silicone-free?
Although silicones have many benefits, some people consciously choose silicone-free hair care, such as a silicone-free shampoo, for these reasons:
- Build-up: Non-washable silicones can build up and make hair heavy.
- Less volume: Especially with fine hair, hair can look limp and lifeless faster.
- Non-nourishing: Silicones make hair look visually beautiful but do not penetrate the hair fibre.
- Curly Girl Method: Silicone-free products are popular among people who follow the Curly Girl method.
Those who choose a silicone-free shampoo often notice that their hair feels lighter, airier and better hydrated in the long run, especially when combined with sulphate-free and paraben-free products.
