Amodimethicone
Amodimethicone: Amodiemthicone is a silicone that is used in hair care products to improve the visible texture and shine of the hair. It also reduces friction between the hair shafts, preventing damage to the hair. While amodimethicone is similar to another common silicone, dimethicone, there are some significant differences.
Amodimethicone is often used in products designed for curly, textured, or wavy hair. This is because it is a lighter silicone than dimethicone, so it does not weigh down the hair. Amodimethicone also selectively binds to more damaged hair. Helps to improve the manageability, texture, and appearance of curly, wavy, or textured hair. It is a lighter ingredient than other silicones and forms a light, durable film on the hair, protecting it from damage.
Why Is Amodimethicone Used?
The main benefits of amodimethicone are to do with the lightweight texture and protection that it provides to the hair. These benefits are why amodimethicone is so popular in curly or wavy hair products. However, amodimethicone’s consistency and protection may also help damaged hair types without weighing them down.
Damaged hair
The structure of amodiemethicone is such that when used in a conditioner their amine groups (if you did chemistry in high school think back to those NH/NH2 groups), become positively charged. When the hair is dry or damaged either by bleaching or the natural texture of the hair, the hair loses the protective coating on the surface of the hair shaft. When this protective layer is damaged it exposes a hydrophilic or water-loving layer. This secondary layer of the hair attracts positively charged groups such as amodimethicone. In this way, amodimethicone selectively binds to damaged or dry hair. This prevents areas of the hair shaft that do not need protection from being weighed down by the hair product or leaving your curls heavy or your hair limp.
Protective barrier
The protective coating that is created by amodimethicone is relatively long-lasting compared to other silicone products. However, unlike other silicones, amodimethicone does not leave build-up on the hair. The light protective coating that amodimethicone provides helps to improve the visible softness and shininess of the hair by smoothing the hair shaft and locking in moisture. It also helps to reduce flyaways, decrease drying time and protect from heat styling.
