Most conditioner is silicone-based. For anyone curious, if your conditioner lists dimethicone or any other -cone in the ingredients list, that’s silicone.
Is this the part that I find so objectionable to my senses when I’m touching it and using it in my hair? I hate the feeling of conditioner in my hands when I’m applying it.
This is going to sound crazy, but I use Suave Essentials Wild Cherry Blossom. It’s like 1 or 2 bucks a bottle and thank goodness because I have to use half a bottle when I wash my hair. What I used to spend…
I found it through the Curly Girl approved products list. Here’s a copy-paste of the entire ingredients (in case someone more knowledgeable comes along to tell me it has stuff in it I didn’t know was bad for me).
It’s unfortunately named since this is good for anyone, not just women. Have been using various “free” products for about 6 or 7 years now and my hair always feels great and all the natural waviness of my hair came back.

Probably! I have a conditioner that’s all-that-stuff free and it no longer grosses me out to touch.
And thank goodness because I have big, curly, loooong hair

The Curly Girl site I use says that the methyl ingredients can cause itchiness in a sensitive scalp so keep that in mind if you try it.
