Resilient
These silicones provide all of the excellent protective properties we've mentioned earlier, plus they don't build up on the strand! However, they are non- soluble and require a sulfate to remove. If you have very damaged hair or heat style a lot, feel free to try leave-in treatments that feature any of the silicones listed below. Just make sure you apply them as
the last step of your routine. Due to the way they attach to your strand, any product containing any of these silicones needs to be the last step of your routine. They’ll repel anything else you’d apply on top otherwise. If you learn to use these silicones correctly, you can take full advantage of their truly exceptional conditioning abilities.
