will somebody please help me? i have damaged with repeated coloring my shoulder length curly hair and find it very dry. i've already tried ouidad and do not like it as much as jheri redding products. maybe because of the extent of damage to my hair. i do not have tons of split ends--just dryness. other than the color, i have always been very gentle with my hair, conditioning, no dryer etc. so i think it's salvageable. the problem is that using a silicone product is the only thing that makes my hair feel nice again. am i causing more damage? i notice that after 3 days of use, i have to lay off it. also, why does ouidad say that silicones are drying to the hair, and there is silicone in the shine serum? i use jheri redding frizz out in the indigo bottle and have found it to be the best consistency for my hair. cheap, too, and contains some panthenol. but is there any product out there that will do the same sort of thing but without silicone? also, i can't find the aveda beautifying composition on wwbeauty where is it? thanks

They make my hair feel smooth and silky... and they make my hair very dry. Silicon repels water, that's why it's a great help to people who's hair frizzes in humid weather, it keeps your hair from absorbing the moisture in the air. So, if your hair is dry and moisture deprived, then silicons will keep it that way. They're a quick fix solution that makes your hair feel like it's in better condition than it really is.-jennifer j

This is just my opinion, I have never had luck with the silicone products such as, Zero Frizz or Frizz Ease.My hair was left dry and coated,and feeling greasy. I also have naturally curly hair. I recommend Nexxus products, most importantly Nexxus Humectress it's a thick conditioner you can leave in or wash out, I find it works wonderfully and it smells nice. Nexxus has a line called Rejuva Perm for naturally curly or permed hair. Rejuva Perm Vitalizing Shampoo, Rejuva Perm Curl Enhancer,and The Rejuvinator.You usually can buy these in little sample tubes at the hair salon and after using the full tube you should know if you like it. Good Luck!
