Why Silicone-free?

Why Silicone-free?


Most people have healthy hair at the roots but can’t grow it to the length they want. Modern lifestyles; heat styling, colouring, silicone-rich products, sun and sea, all damage the hairshaft. This thin dry brittle hair then splits or snaps. People think they’ve just got ‘bad hair’. Not true.

What's worse is that 99% of the haircare ranges on the market use types of silicone to simply mask this damage. Your hair may feel better, softer, more manageable – but in reality it’s a fake better. Silicone actually makes the problem worse because it sucks the vital moisture out of the hair shaft, leading it to become dry, brittle, and to thin down faster. This Faustian pact of ‘gloss today but gone tomorrow’ sees hair condition decline rapidly. So most haircare today is the opposite of ‘care’. Silicone-rich products are destroying the health of your hair.

Michael planted more herbs on our roof garden and the basil went wild. Harvesting for the salon Deli and giving to friends still left a verdant surplus. Hence my recipe this week which made a small dent in supplies.

Flat, straight and heavy. Sharon’s hair had been cut so short at the back and with no proper layering. The exaggerated long front then conspired to drag the whole look down. The very opposite of uplifting and energising which is what hair should do for the wearer...
