Silicone Hell

GlamourCurls

I went through a straightening phase a while ago and bought some serum drops - in my product cull yesterday I came across them and tried to tip it out.

Didn't go well! Then I ended up with it all over my hands and fingers. Soap didn't take the greasy off, grease cutting dish washing liquid didn't lift it. I ended up scrubbing with a palmful of clarifying shampoo.
Then there was residue in the basin to deal with!

Here are the ingredients!

Cyclopentasiloxane, dimethiconol, parfum (fragrence), phenyl trimethicone, amodimethicone, alpha-isomethyl ionone, benzyl alcohol, benzl salicylate butylphenyl methylpropional, citral, citronellol, coumarin, geranoil, hexyl xinnamal, hydroxyxitronellal, limonene, linalool.

I still use silicone drops when I straighten my hair, never noticed a problem like that. Mind you, when I stopped using Frizz Ease I noticed way, way less scummy stuff in the shower.

XD I find it funny how parfum is so high up on the list. It's all about the smell.

But I don't know why that is so hard to get off. Maybe one of all those silicones is the one making removal harder; I used serum drops too and never had an issue like that.

I know that usually fragrance is one of the last ingredients - but I've noticed on a few products lately it's way up the list

Just burn them all in a bonfire and cackle maniacally the whole time.


(Just kidding, that would smell terrible and probably isn't safe)
