Description
Dimethicone and Dimethiconol are silicone oils known for their conditioning and smoothing properties in hair care products. They help to improve the texture of the hair, reduce frizz, and enhance shine. Laureth-3 and Laureth-23 are surfactants that act as emulsifiers and solubilizers, helping to disperse the silicone oils evenly throughout the hair and provide a smooth, creamy texture to the product.
Use
This blend is often found in hair conditioners, leave-in treatments, and styling products such as serums and creams. It is used to provide conditioning benefits, improve manageability, and enhance the overall appearance of the hair. The combination of silicone oils and surfactants helps to detangle the hair, reduce static, and protect against environmental damage.
Applications
Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Laureth-3, and Laureth-23 are typically applied to clean, damp hair after shampooing. They can be left in the hair as a leave-in treatment or rinsed out, depending on the product instructions. These ingredients help to smooth the hair cuticle, seal in moisture, and create a protective barrier that shields the hair from heat styling and environmental stressors.
