Silicon Mix has a reputation in salons for one thing: it makes hair look glossy, fast. The leave-in works the way you would expect from the name, coating the strand so light bounces off it evenly instead of scattering across a rough cuticle. If the mirror finish is what you are after, this is the category of product that produces it.

The 236 ml bottle stays on the hair after you have finished washing, and that is what makes it useful on chemically treated hair, where the cuticle is permanently rougher and needs something sitting on top to behave smoothly. Detangling gets easier for the same reason. Blow-drying goes faster too, because the hair is not fighting the brush the whole way. Work a small amount through damp hair from mid-lengths down, then style. Start with less than you think and add more, because a leave-in this rich is easy to overdo and hard to undo without washing again. It suits dry, damaged or chemically processed hair across type 2a to 3b. Fine or low porosity hair will want a light hand with it.

Application tips

Go sparing with this one. A ten pence sized blob covers mid length hair. Put it on damp lengths from the ears down and comb it through so it spreads evenly, then add a second small amount only if the ends still feel dry.

Style as usual afterwards. It sits happily under a blow dry. Keep it away from the roots, because a rich leave in at the scalp is what makes hair look greasy by day two.

Results

The obvious change is gloss. A smooth surface reflects light in one direction rather than breaking it up, and that is what reads as shine from across a room. Chemically treated hair benefits most.

Combing gets quicker and so does blow drying. Ends stop looking dry a day after washing, and the hair feels coated in a good way, smooth rather than slippery.
