I agree.  Healthy hair is always the shiniest.  You can use products heavy on the silicone to get the silky look, (providing cones don't frizz your hair type - they do some types), but it won't stay silky if you keep using the cone products and they build up making your hair dull and limp.  You can clarify them off fairly frequently to keep your hair nice, while still getting their benefits.

Edited to add:  If you have hard water, vinegar rinses will do wonders for your hair's shine and softness too (if you have soft water, they won't make much of a difference).

Get your hair in top condition.  If it's dry, it won't be shiny and smooth.  My hair is extremely soft and silky after doing a deep conditioning oil treatment.  All I do is slather on olive oil pretty heavily and put it up in a bun or braid, leave it several hours (overnight) and then wash it.

I have med./long brown hair with a slight wave if I air dry it or I can get it pretty straight if I blow dry.  What products do you use to get that super silky fall in your face hair look?
