On this episode of the Terrinique Show, we take a deep dive into silicones in hair care with Formulation Chemist Nirmal Shah.

What are Silicones. Are they really made out of Sand?

Yes, Silicones are derived from naturally available Silica stone (Sand), Water and gas Methanol---however created synthetically via series of Chemical reactions in the lab!

They are typically used in Hair care for their Great Conditioning effect, for improviving Texture, glide and shine to the hair. They even have great Heat Protection capabilities for Various Hair treatments.

Are Silicones bad for Hair?

This is a very good question, however its very Broad and Debatable. Its just like asking if if Cofee good for you? Silicones too-depends on the usage level, primary purpose in formulations, final Application. In fact, variable like differnt Hair types and daily Regimen using Silicones can also determine if its good or bad.

Are there any Silicones better than the other?

There are many types of Silicones with different applications. Let me classify into 4 Broadly used types:

1) Cyclopentasiloxanes (typically known as D4 and D5), very light weighted and low flast points, typically seen in Hair Sprays and Mists or Alcohol free formulas.

2) Dimethoicones or Cyclomethicones (These come in differnt viscosities measured by units cst from 5 sct to 1000s cst). These are moslty for their texture, ease of application, making the products less soapy.

3) Dimethicones crosspolymers (crosslinked with PEGs or different chain of silicones to increase the visocosity or to make it more Water soluble)

4) Phenyl Trimethicones- Heavy silicones that add Glide to lustre to the hairs, great conditioning and Heat protection capabilities

Are there any Negative effects of Silicones?

Silicones are known for causing build up on Hair especially on Curly Hair.It can also dry out and cuases flakes. However, to be very honest with you, I think its very much dependent on how well the formulation is created. you see, Silicones are not Water soluble at all. So, from the formulation perspective, their usage level and how well are they are kept emulsified in the formula is very very imp. For eg. 0.5-2% is good enough to reduce soapiness, provide the glide and texture to hair.

Is a Silicone free hair routine better than a Silicone hair routine?

For Better or verse, Necessity is the Mother of Invention. Due to a lot of fear mongering posts on social media, scientists and raw mateiral manufacturers have come up with innovative ingredients for brands to be able to make Silicone free claims. Several coconut based alkanes are used as sources instead of Silica, unique blends of esters to provide silicone like feel and even Natural oil blends which are rich is Omega Acids and Vitamins can be used as Silicones alternatives, based on the Application. Hope this helps.

On this episode of the Terrinique Show, we discuss how to rid your scalp of dandruff.

The best way to deal with dandruff is to think about the scalp as the skin. At Kurlee Belle, we like to think that scalp care is skin care.

Dandruff is a common scalp condition characterized by the shedding of dead skin cells. It's often accompanied by itching and the appearance of white flakes on the scalp and hair.

The exact cause of dandruff is not fully understood, but it's believed to be influenced by various factors such as an:

- overgrowth of a yeast-like fungus called Malassezia

- sensitivity to certain hair products,

- an imbalance of the scalp's natural oils.

Maintain a consistent wash day routine:

1. Use an anti-dandruff shampoo: Look for shampoos containing active ingredients like zinc pyrithione, ketoconazole, or selenium sulfide. These ingredients help control the fungus on the scalp and reduce flaking.

2. Wash your hair regularly: Frequent shampooing can help remove excess oil and dead skin cells from the scalp. Aim for at least three times a week, but don't overdo it, as excessive washing can strip away the scalp's natural oils.

3. Be gentle when washing: Massage the shampoo into your scalp using your fingertips, not your nails. Rinse thoroughly to remove any residue.

4. Avoid harsh hair products: Some hair products, like styling gels and sprays, can exacerbate dandruff. Opt for gentle, non-irritating hair care products and avoid excessive use of styling products.

5. Manage stress: Stress can contribute to dandruff, so try incorporating stress-reducing activities into your daily routine, such as exercise, meditation, or hobbies you enjoy.

6. Maintain a healthy diet: A well-balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals, especially zinc, can promote a healthy scalp. Include foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.

7. Consider natural remedies: Tea tree oil, known for its antifungal properties, can be beneficial for reducing dandruff. Dilute a few drops in a carrier oil and gently massage it into your scalp.

On this episode of the Terrinique Show, we discuss how to tell if your hair is heat damaged.

Heat damaged hair loses elasticity because applying heat on a regular basis affects the hair's ability to retain moisture and changes its structure. When hair becomes dehydrated, it becomes stiffer and more difficult to work with, often resulting in split ends and breakage. Damaged hair looks rough, dry, dull, and frizzy. It loses its natural shine because the cuticles, which give hair its sheen, have been damaged. Heat damaged curly hair may appear limp, and the curls may not hold their shape, and straight hair may not appear as sleek.

Your hair is heat damaged if:

1. Your curls don’t bounce and are limp

2. Your hair feels funny or rough in texture

3. Your hair looks dull and feels dry

4. Your hair is shedding more than normal

5. Your hair has lost its elasticity or shrinkage

On this episode of the Terrinique Show, we discuss 5 keys to preventing hair loss:

1. Maintain high moisture levels

When it comes to hair health, moisture is king. Keep your insides hydrated and your hair hydrated. Use products that list water as the first ingredient. Water is the best moisturizer and products that are water based are more moisturizing.

2. Avoid tension hairstyles

Take a break from tension hairstyles that pull and tug at the hair. Wear protective styles that don’t stress the hair line.

FUN FACT: If you’ve noticed that your hair doesn’t grow when you wear box braids, it is because most stylist don’t condition the hair before braiding. Condition and seal your hair with an oil blend before getting it braided to retain length. For best results, braid your own hair in a protective style instead of using braid hair.

3. Take your vitamins

Eat foods that are high in protein and nutrients like: eggs, salmon, spinach.. and of course take your vitamins.

4. Drink lots of water

It sounds simple but water intake does affect hair growth. The scalp produces natural sebum to keep our follicles healthy. A major component of sebum is water and if you're dehydrated, your hair will be too.

5. Use the right products

Use products that are water based and include natural ingredients. Stay away from chemicals that change the natural structure of the hair and damaging hair tools like glue, flat irons.

Don’t use too much coconut oil: -- Coconut oil is 90% saturated fat so using too much can cause:

On this episode of the Terrinique Show, we discuss 5 tips for caring for gray hair.

Why does hair turn gray? The pigment cells in our hair follicles gradually die as we get older. Fewer pigment cells in a hair follicle, means that there is fewer melanin in that strand, so the hair turns gray, white or silver.

1. Stay away from products that have dyes which can turn your grays yellow. Use a purple tinted shampoo and conditioner to counteract the effects of yellow.

2. Don’t over shampoo.

3. Seal in moisture daily with a good leave-in conditioner, hair oil or moisture serum. This will calm unruly hair and soften your strands.

4. Keep your curls nourished. Take a multivitamin or hair, skin and nails vitamins to keep your curls nourished.

5. Don’t pluck your strands.

On today's episode of the Terrinique Show, we are discussing How to properly moisturize your hair by porosity.

First understand the porosity of your hair:

Low porosity- Low porosity hair doesn’t easily absorb water. It takes a long time to wet and dry. Hair care products tend to stay on the surface of the hair rather than being absorbed.

Medium porosity- Medium porosity strands have looser cuticles, leaving spaces where moisture can enter. But, the cuticles aren't too loose, so the hydration and other nutrients will stay inside the hair longer. Medium porosity is often referred to as a perfect balance.

High porosity- High porosity means the cuticle layer of the hair are open. It absorbs water quickly and releases it quickly. This type of hair is prone to frizz and feels very dry.

Wash day regimen by porosity:

Low porosity—keep your hair clean.

Wash once a week. (Clarifying shampoo on week one and Moisturizing shampoo for the other 3 weeks.)

Deep condition once a week.

Then apply leave-in.

Daily spray with water and apply a leave-in.

Use cream and oil to seal in moisture.

Medium porosity—keep your hair clean.

Use heavy cream with Shea butter, Coconut Oil- recommended Kurlee Belle Kurl Defining Crème.
