Silicones and the CG

Hey yall:):)

So if you've been keeping up with my blog you'd know I was thirsty over some conditioners a couple days ago!! I went to walgreens and purchased "Yes to Carrots Conditioner", and two of the Organix conditioners.

SOOO whats my Point??? ((your probably thinking))

WELL... I was always curious as to what exactly the Curly Girl Method is!! So i did some research about that. And, being that I already told myself I didn't want to use shampoos any more, i figured why not begin to build my regimen around this process.

What does this have to do with the conditioners I was so thirsty about and ended up buying??

APPARENTLY, The Organix conditioners are FULL of silicones!! AND, if you know anything about the Curly Girl Method, Silicones are a NO NO. Because they build up in your hair due to their non-solubility. Meaning they build up and most you can't get rid of unless you use a sulfate shampoo. Sulfate shampoos are also not good for your hair because they sstrip your hair, making it dry and removing its natural oils in the process. And i'm lowkey upset about it because I really wanted to try them both. I happened to look at the ingredients not too long ago and saw an ingredient with the -xane ending. Then i saw Dimethicone -__-!!

If your interested in learning more about the CG method, then do your own research and look it up. Especially if your like me and trying to build a successful regimen with great products for your hair!!

Thanks for reading!!
