    Glossary Silicones

    synthetic polymers used in hair care for smoothness and shine

    Silicones, also known as siloxanes, are a group of synthetic polymers made up of repeating units of siloxane, which is a chain of alternating silicon and oxygen atoms, often combined with carbon and hydrogen. They are widely used in hair care products for their ability to provide a smooth, shiny finish, reduce frizz, and protect hair from heat damage.
