WHY I WENT BACK TO SULFATES AND SILICONES + How I Use Them

[@vidyagopal3115]

I've never understood the silicone hate. Like oils, they are an emollient that needs to be clarified out on a regular basis, but even curly girls who are cg should be clarifying their hair anyways so...

I love the way my scalp feels with sulfate shampoos. The dandruff with sulfate free shampoos was terrible. Silicones help so much when its humid outside.

[@emmavalentine3174]

I have psoriasis on my scalp, and I have to use a sulfate shampoo to keep my scalp happy. I have tried every other option but my clinical shampoo is the only thing that works. With my curly hair, I felt really shamed because I have to use sulfates every time I wash. My hair is happiest when my scalp isn’t literally peeling off.

[@godblessamericamyhomesweet1094]

NEVER let anyone make you feel this way. Lorraine Massey started the whole curly girl method and also founded Devacurl. Most people who shout from the rooftops have a motive for doing so. She made a hell of a lot of money after convincing people that silicones and sulfates are the devil. Well, I never lost hair from sulfates or silicones. Devacurl on the other hand is getting slapped with a class action lawsuit for the damage they've done to peoples hair and scalp. They're literally the new Wen. Figuring out who the devil is with this one is pretty easy!

I have the same problem! How often do you use sulfate shampoo? My scalp would love it every single day.

[@alissaspafford8846]

[@daisyk6135]

omg, i have scalp psoriasis too and i’ve been searching for months for a shampoo that’s gonna work for my hair and be sulfate free n whatnot… i think it’s just about finding the healthiest sulfate option at this point. if it doesn’t irritate my scalp, gives me good curls and clean hair then hey, a win

I'm white w low porosity, thick wavy hair that LOVES olive oil treatments w HEAT and silicone conditioners. I've tried several times to go sulfate/silicone free but my hair becomes dry, brittle, stiff and hard. BTW: My hair is super-curly & frizzy with a silicone-free conditioner and I'm forced to use leave-in products that leave my hair crunchy or oil that weighs my hair down. I'm never giving up silicone conditioners. I use Cantu Naturals Shampoo (sulfate free) & a Pantene silicone conditioner regularly and a sulfate shampoo once a month to clarify. I'm 54 and my hair is soft & silky and I'm happy. That's all that matters, right?

I have been using sulfate free shampoo for a year and a half and started to get dandruff or psoriasis… not sure what it is, but it started when I switched to all these “high quality” sulfate free. My hair doesn’t seem healthier. I think I will be going back to good ole faithful tresemme

[@Jess_icaaaaaaa]

As an oily scalp gurlll I NEEEDDD SULFATES because my scalp feels properly clean and I also NEED SILICONES!! because I have very dry hair and it is also prone to frizz and( I also have very straight hair) and silicones help with frizz, shine and GREAT slip! I currently use Tresemme` Keratin smooth shampoo and conditioner 3 times a week and then I airdry and use OGX Coconut milk anti- breakage serum 80% dry and I apply OGX miracle oil when my hair is 95% dry and before bed and in the mornings AND OMGG MY HAIR HAS NEVER FELT HEALTHIER!!🥰 And I have gone sulfate and silicone free with my shampoos and conditioners before I used Maui Moisture for a year and my hair didn't feel as good, my hair was very frizzy and my scalp didn't feel as clean! This is what works for me!😋

[@SnapKrakenPop]

everything in moderation 🤷🏻‍♀️ i use silicones protectively and sulphates when i know i need them. building an intuition with your hair is the most important part of a healthy hair journey

[@stariehearts2366]

After 10 months of no sulphates, my scalp can't take it anymore. The itchiness due to product buildup is unbearable! Sulphate free clarifying shampoos do nothing for me except add more oils to my already clogged scalp. I'm going back to head and shoulders from today. I know my ends won't like it as it's very drying, but my deep conditioners will fix that. I need to do this for my scalp👊

[@nohandle474]

I just started using silicone and sulfate in my hair and my hair is thriving. I’ve always had full hair and for many years my hair would go flat really fast. I use drugstores products all the time now.

[@nicolemooney3816]

I may need to try this. Since going CG and cutting out silicones and sulfates my scalp has gotten extremely dry and flaky and I've tried everything to get rid of it. Even right after my wash days and after me clarifying and scrubbing until my fingers hurt it's still dry and flaky the next day, especially around my hair line :( so I think I may need to try to add in sulfates again to clear my scalp since nothing else has worked

[@oooyeahooyeah7451]

Nicole Mooney try a VERY moisturizing shampoo and a shampoo brush, the brush really helps. My hair gets VERY flaky because it’s very dry, so I have to be careful because I can’t use every shampoo, because I need a lot of moisture. Sulfates made my flakes worse, but everyone’s hair is different

Same. I have used 2 gels one with silicone (tresseme) and one without (eco styler). And the one without silicone barely had a cast and it got frizzier faster

[@milliem8051]

I like silicone conditioner, it makes my wavy hair less frizzy and puffy but I’m still figuring it all out

[@mysticari8928]

I found my hair does really well with amodimethicone, and bis- aminopropyl dimeticone. It does not not build up or weigh down. I absolutely will not use dimethicone or dimethiconol those basically make my 2b/2c go to like 2a or even 1 it straightens my waves and i like sulfates when i do hot oil treatments its the only thing that completely washes the oils away.

[@kevitamaster-brewkombucha5472]

I have silicones in my gel. My hair despises silicones but LOVES SULFATES! I get product buildup incredibly easily eveb without my gel so the sulfate shampoo once a month really helps. Even thougg it dries out my hair I deep condition, lock the moisture with cold water and oils so Im all good lol.

[@chelseyummali]

Yes I went back to sulfates to. When I was using a non sulfate I was needing to wash more often. Now I can go a bit longer inbetween washes. I've stopped using styles so using a silicon conditioner these days don't bother me. I've noticed styling my hair just takes more time for me and causes me to need to wash it sooner because of product build up. Learning how to care for your hair is key!! And products make a huge difference. Quality products will ultimately make your hair health better. Glad to see more girls are becoming a bit more lenient with the Curly Girl cult hahaha 😆

[@deandrajohnson1973]

Yeah I’m with u. I transitioned years ago and followed CG for a long time. My hair is super healthy. In fact I recently got some damage that was not helped by a certain brand we all know, cut off and I’m short now. I’ll use sulphates weekly and a sulphate free shampoo during the week. There are cones in my conditioner and my styling products. 🤷🏽‍♀️

As long as the conditioner doesn't have silicones I think it's fine. If I use heat I use a product with silicone beforehand to protect my hair, and I'll use sulfate shampoo every once in a while to get a deep clean. So I think your routine is just fine

Yes same here. Cgm for 1 yr, in Florida n nothing worked for my hair. Now I use cones in my cream to style

If I do oiling on my hair, I do use sulphate shampoo to cleanse my hair completely! It is essential as my hair is short and gets oily faster. So I agree with you :)

Are sulfate-free shampoos better for curly hair? I don't know the perfect routine for my hair yet and I don't know what causes it to look bad. I heard that sulfates in shampoos can strip oils from your hair. But I also have an oily scalp, so it would be bad to not cleanse it good, right?

[@zezeabduh5448]

Same?

[@Delrosi]

I believe avoiding a sealant before the styling products is very difficult if not impossible. Isnt it that most if not all the products which don't have silicones would have a lot of oils to on the top of their ingredient list? If so, oils either penetrate your hair (so extra product cant get in) or coat it so the water stays longer in the hair and once again, no other product will be able to penetrate your hair. So I believe shampoo is key, is the only thing that we should all agree cant be avoided, regardless of moisturizing strategy, with out it, either silicones or oils will coat our hair.

I'm precisely at the one year mark of my CGM journey. My hair is at the awkward length and I'm finally committed to growing it out baby steps by baby steps. It's been about a month now since I kinda started to hate the shape of it; the texture is so soft but the shape and the crown of my head is.. Ugh. I've now decided to go back to soft sulfates and silicones with nourishing products in between. And god, it's already looking a lot better. So, thank you for this video! I feel less guilty towards my commitment to CGM and the health of my hair. And by the way, I never took this into account while doing CGM but I do live on a tropical island and very close to the sea. Guess this might have been the problem 😅

[@tigerlilybeautifulone]

What do you suggest for between washes? my hair tangles very badly, and I need some kind of spray just to be able to comb it. I have to comb it as well between washes, or else my shed hairs tangle up in my hair. So I have to use something between my washes, but would like to use something that will not cause too much build up, maybe with more water soluble silicones. I live in a humid area too, it gets cold and damp, with coastal fog. It does get dry sometimes, but it is fairly humid most of the time. I also live in a place with hard tap water, of which I don't have much control over on this. I find my hair snaps and breaks a lot while tangled, or even just putting a scrunchie or other hair tie in it, I hear it snapping and popping, with lots of resistance. It is painful just to try to run my fingers through my hair, they just snag on it, with lots of fairy knots. My hair is a really mixed bag; it is long, just past my bottom, with finer straighter hair on the top and crown of my head, and thicker courser waves on the bottom half of the length, and course curly hair on the nape of my neck that tangles badly too. I get a lot of compliments, and I want to keep it long, but it gets frustrating. I also don't do updos or anything much, because the weight of it just pulls all or any updo down quickly, I end up resorting to just a low ponytail to keep it out of my face.

[@godblessamericamyhomesweet1094]

I have pretty good luck with a spray bottle filled with mostly water and a tablespoon or two of conditioner. You can add a few drops of oil as well if you use oils on your hair. My hair gets extremely tangled too, and the one thing that helped the most after trying every recommendation under the sun is adding steam when I deep condition. The first time I tried it I washed my hair prior to getting in the shower, then applied deep conditioner. Once in the shower the hot steam did an amazing job. For the rest of the week my hair detangled easier than it ever has. I still use my water/conditioner daily because I just cannot imagine not detangling my hair daily. However, I was able to use less spray and detangle much faster. The steam opens the cuticles and allows moisture and nutrients from the deep conditioner to absorb inside the hair shaft. I hate long hot showers so I am going to bite the bullet and buy a real steamer. I have low porosity hair, so getting the cuticle to open is crucial. Also my low porosity hair does not like protein, and I have yet to find a refresher that does not contain protein. That is why I just make my own concoction. Protein makes my hair very brittle and will break very quickly if I use it. Your hair may be the same as well. Try steam and perhaps try protein free products and opt for moisture based products, especially in your stylers and deep conditioners, as they sit on the hair the longest. Even coconut oil and aloe vera make my hair brittle and cause breakage as they can mimic protein in low porosity hair. The best products for me that contain oil is sunflower oil. It's very lightweight and my hair loves it. Good luck, and sorry for the novel.

[@SuhannaDeSilva]

I love adding a layer of gel at the end to seal in everything and give me extra hold because my hair is so long it weighs itself down. Mousse is my OG styler and depending on the mousse and styling technique you can get pretty great results but I still recommend at least a light layer of gel on top to hold everything in place. If you’re using mousse look for one that’s moisturizing yet still lightweight, I’ve used the herbal essences totally twisted mousse for over a decade and it’s always worked out for me.

So you came here just to leave a condescending comment 🆗

@@SuhannaDeSilva no I came to see if going back to sulfate would be a good idea for me. But if your are giving hair advice don't lie. You can't say you have sleek shiny hair when your hair is frizzy as hell in the video. There is nothing wrong with frizz but be honest that using sulfate has increased your frizz. I simply can't stand liars.

If you watch my very first hair related videos (DC wave maker review, DC light defining gel review) then you can see how much frizz I ACTUALLY had compared when my hair was unhealthy. I always tell you guys to do what works for your hair and if what I’m doing works for me then I’ll share that. If I come off as being a liar and as having an entire head of frizzy hair, don’t listen to what I’m saying and do you.

How rude! Her hair is NOT frizzy.... I will never understand keyboard ninjas who think they are entitled to leave nasty comments. 🙄

[@destinymcgehee9807]

@@lorabetht9206 you see all those little stands of single hairs floating around her head? That's frizz. Nothing wrong with frizz, but don't lie and say your routine prevents it when it doesnt. Maybe open a dictionary next time karen.

Sulfates and silicons are bad. Periodt
