Sister Sky's Shampoo & Conditioner are Silicone Free

Are you using a shampoo or conditioner that contain silicone?  Silicone-based additives in shampoos and conditioners have great detangling properties and give your hair a slick, smooth feeling. Those benefits are a short term illusion that the quality of your hair has improved.  When used over time, silicone-based hair products coat the hair shaft, seal out moisture and create build up that can make your hair dry, dull and flat.
How will you know if your hair products contain silicone?  As a rule of thumb, any chemical listed on the label that ends in "cone" is a silicone; dimethicone, cyclomethicone, and phenyl trimethicone are some common ones.
To improve the health of your hair consider avoiding excessive use of silicone-based hair products. You may also try rotating the use of a clarifying shampoo which removes excessive silicone buildup in your hair. 

Sister Sky's Shampoo and Conditioners are silicone free. Gentle, natural, botanical based hair care that nourishes with natural additives like wheat protein and Pro-Vitamin B5.   To learn more visit our website at www.sistersky.com
