Now that I have come to the conclusion that I need the Tangle Teezer to detangle my hair, maybe I need to start using silicones again for the added slip.
The only reason I am seriously considering using them again is because I just realised that I don’t need to use sulphates to get rid of them. In my Hairveda shampoo, the cocamidopropyl betaine gets rid of all the silicones. How freaking amazing is that? Look
