Hi all,
Sorry I am coming to this debate late but i really need advice from some fellow hair geeks with a bit more experience.
My interest in this came up on a recent thread where I was talking about a client whose hair has suddenly become very dry and brittle after starting to use a lot of Morrocan Oil glimmer spray. This product in particular, she was fine with the oil.
Someone suggested I check the product for protein or silicones. It is pretty much all silicones!! I thought hey there's the problem, I will tell her to just go back to the oil. Checked the ingredients of the oil, full of silicones. The conditioners are the same.
I am really confused. I remember before I even did my training, my hairdresser at the time telling me to stop using L'oreal Elvive because it is a rubbish product full of silicones that only coat the hair. But we sell MO products telling people they are therapeutic for the hair, they are certainly a lot more expensive than your silicone filled supermarket products.
Would be interested to hear peoples opinions on here, I can't really afford to start hating MO because it is the top selling line in my salon!! We stock the entire range.
Now I also have no idea what to tell my client who is coming in tomorrow. She had no problems at all til she used the glimmer shine on a daily basis. Now it feels like no moisture can penetrate the hair and it is horribly dry and brittle. I guess I should clarify thoroughly to get rid of silicone build up.
Would appreciate any thoughts.
