Silicone is a synthetic polymer used to enhance hair products, rendering them sleek, smooth, and manageable.An example is "dimethicone", a common ingredient in hair conditioners.
Silicone's ability to coat hair strands reduces friction and tangles, providing improved combability and a glossy finish.It also shields hair from heat damage and environmental stressors, prolonging hair's health and vitality.Historically, the advent of silicone-based hair serums in the 1980s revolutionized styling, offering lasting shine and frizz control.
