Hey there, I didn't know you had 2nd channel.  This is a good video.

Parabens are bad. Research has been shown that it may cause cancer. Silicones are not bad though.

[EvelynParham]

@kristenjdec That's true! Silicones are only bad if you have very fine hair that can get easily weighed down from build up.

[kristenjdec]

@EvelynParham Exactly!:)

@broyale7 I think sulfates wreak havoc on the hair over time. You know, there are some good no-silicone conditioners that work well for the tightly curly method. Tresemme Naturals is one...the only thing is that it has SD alcohol which could be drying. Take care, EP.

@louloumatou That's great, Jackie! Your hair has let you know what it likes. I've never tried the Aussie 3min miracle...I've heard nothing but great things about it.

@missree1995 That's true! The hair never lies.

When it comes to silicones, bottom line is there's no one-size-fits-all approach to hair care. No one method that's magic bullet for all. People need to do their own research and experiment on their hair to find what works for them. Silicones? No Silicones? Your HAIR will give you the right answer. It's as simple as that.

wonderful video, and yes that is why i have avoided parabens in my hair products for a long time now, i am slowly transitioning to avoiding them in all other products i put on my skin too, but that is proving more difficult. I never minded silicones, but i have to say that since i stopped using them, i have not had any issues with dry hair anymore, but i miss my Aussie 3min miracle deeeep conditioner! it's amazing!
