Cones are silicones.Most conditoners have them.Some people swear by them,while others cringe at the idea of using them.they leave a coating on your hair.Which in turn leaves your hair easier to manage and smoother.The problem is that they build up.Some quicker than others.And if they build up too much they break off taking part of your strands with it.But they can also be clarified off as well.I dont use them myself because the clarifying does just as much damage to my hair.But my DH's hair would be a a huge headache without them.SmileHTH

I was intrested in system number 4 (chemically treated hair) that is a shampoo,moisterizer and scalp treatment.

I have to ask...what are "cones" I keep seeing people mention those?

I haven't tried it, but you got me curious, here is a site with some reviews:

If its the mint in it that does some good, then I'm happy because I have a peppermint shampoo and conditioner already!  It seems to have some cones in some of it, I don't know exactly which product you were referring to.

hey everyone,i was roaming another hair forum (I know,how dare I?) and a hairdresser was reccomending a product called Nioxin (which is for thinning hair).She was saying it's great for anyone who wants long hair cuz it stimulates the blood flow to the scalp which helps hair grow faster.
Seems to mostly be made up of stuff like mint,biotin and niacin.
I know nothing makes hair grow faster,but this is supposed to support it so it can.
has anyone here used it? If you have,did you like the results,notice hair growing/feeling thicker?
I appreciate any feedback...cuz I want to get some but am kinda scared to try it.
