It is time to bust some myths!!

We are talking about the most demonized ingredient in curly haircare: SILICONES. I dove DEEP into the science of cosmetic chemistry to find out everything I could about silicones – what they are, what they do, and whether or not they are truly safe for curls. And today, I am sharing all of that with YOU! All my sources are linked below in case you’re in a deep-diving mood yourself 😊
