People like Scott are annoying just because they are hair stylists they think their opinion is all that matters and is all the thruth you need to hear, as if their opinion is from scientific research facts, plus like is said before everyone’s hair is different, so is also irresponsable to state that, at least say in some people, leading to some people believe in all that they say starting to sort of panic about all this. and how many times i have heard totally different opinions from them, not even agreeing in the same topic seems like a joke.

I use a butter in my hair that contains cones. My hair loves it! Without it my hair is dry,dry,dry.I have had no problems. Just out of habit,I clarify once in while.Not because of the cones but just because of different styling products and to begin with a clean slate.If they work for you,use them! My hair hates petroleum and this is from trying it,not because someone on a forum told me it’s bad. My hair is natural now and somethings that worked before doesnt work now.

Hey Shirley, have you considered seeing a psychiatrist? Silicones do was out after a few tries. Just think a bit: your skin is shedding all the time, notice that even superglue would wash off after a few days.
I’m serious about the psychiatrist, you sound like you have an OCD.

Please Help!

Anti-’cones’

I had heard that products which had coal tar in them were good. I didn’t have daneruff, but I thought I would try it. I used Denorex Daneruff Shampoo 2.5% Coal Tar. I used it for 2 1/2 months & noticed that it was not rinsing out. I had never heard of silicones in hair products!

I have a very heavy clear silicone build-up on the scalp, hair shaft, and body. I can feel it has melted and ran down on my skin and body.

I have tried everything that I can think of to remove it. Professional & over-the-counter Clarifying shampoos, aloe vera, green tea, tea tree oil, vinegar, baking soda and etc. But I can still feel it.

Before things like that are put in everyday common products, the manufacture needs to instruct buyers how to remove it. I have been to the doctor 8 times and the dermatology 5 times, they did not seem to know, what I was talking about. Most of them said, that they could not see anything and gave me some cream.

How can I remove this build-up from my scalp & skin? How can I make sure I do not use another product that does not rinse out.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Please help educate us!

I should also add to my last post, the use of silicone isn’t just as a simple as applying a silicone based conditioner or styling aid (such as serum etc).

If you then use a very hot straightening iron you melt the silicone and compress it onto the hair shaft. This is what causes the problem of build up!
