Question from a newbie...

please tell me, what are cones?

 

[ichephren]

A "cone" is short for silicone. A silicone prodict is usually a serum that gives shine and smoothness to the hair. Ex. Chi silk infusion; Keracare silken seal; IC fantasia hair polisher. A "cone" can also be found in products like shampoos, conditioners, etc. They give slip to the hair and give it a silky feel. Look for "dimethicone" or "cyclomethicone" or any word ending in "cone."

Cone are often found in conditioner and are a member of the silicone family hence 'cones'. The below post list the different types of cones that are found in the conditioner and whether or not they are water soluable. They provide slip. Slip is the ability of the comb sliding through your hair.
