What are cyclic silicones?

Cyclic silicones have become a hot topic in hair care, and it's not hard to understand why. As part of our efforts to offer our customers at The Every the best hair care products, we have removed these ingredients from our products. But what exactly are cyclic silicones and why are they important to avoid? Read on for a full guide on cyclic silicones and why you should consider switching to our silicone-free hair care products.

What is the difference between cyclic and linear silicones?

Before we dive deeper into cyclic silicones, let's understand the difference between cyclic and linear silicones. Linear silicones are commonly used in many hair care products and give the hair a shiny and smooth surface. On the other hand, cyclic silicones are a variant of silicones used in some hair care products, but they have a circular structure and are more difficult to break down.

Why are cyclic silicones problematic?

One of the main reasons why many people choose to avoid cyclic silicones is their potentially negative impact on the environment. Because they are more difficult to break down, they can accumulate in waterways and have negative consequences for ecosystems. In addition, taking into account our customers with sensitive scalps and hair, cyclic silicones can sometimes cause irritation and leave hair characterized and lifeless.
