Ever wondered what Dimethicone is in your anti frizz product?

As always look to where it is listed to understand how active the ingredient is... if it is last on the list you will know there is very little in the product.

Dimethicone: found in most anti-frizz products. This is a favorite of mine. Especially this time of year with most people bothered by the humidity.

A touch to fine/straight hair (if used sparingly) will not weight down hair but will create a barrier so the humidity will not cause your hair to droop. A drop( I mean just a drop or less otherwise you will be sorry) added to your mousse or gel (if not already in the product) will add shine and keep the humid weather from dragging down your do.

A touch to curly and or thick hair will be your best friend this season. It creates a barrier from the moist humid weather. If you are using a flat iron it helps to lock in the straight look you have created. If using a curling iron or hot rollers it will give you shine and a smooth curl.

Great if you have some damage to your ends ...as it will smooth the ends and help your style to hold....Damage means you have a lack of moisture in your hair...so of course your hair will respond to the humidity. First use your moisturizer after a shampoo and follow with a product containing dimethicone.

Typically it is an oil form or light cream. Always use sparingly with a drop or two in your hand. Work it into your palms and apply to the ends and work up. NEVER add to the root area(scalp)....this will flatten your do and you will feel like you need to shampoo again.

As long as you are using a product with Dimethicone and NO lanolin it should not build up on your hair.

Use a clarifying shampoo as you feel needed to prevent build up of any haircare products...
