 QII. Is it true VO5 conditioners have no silicones, and how’s that good for natural hair?

Yes it’s true that VO5 conditioners do not contain silicones. Some girls with natural hair like to avoid sulfate shampoos because of its ability to dry out hair. When you use silicone-containing products, you need to use sulfate shampoos.

On the other hand, when you use products with no silicones, you can use sulfate-free shampoos regularly with little risk of product buildup. This is what makes the use of silicone-free products good.

• What are silicones?
• Are cleansing conditioners just a hype?

The following is an ingredient list for one of the most popular VO5 conditioners, Alberto VO5 Moisture Milks Moisturizing Conditioner, Strawberries & Cream:

Water (Aqua), Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearalkonium Chloride, Cetrimonium Chloride, Fragrance (Parfum), Glyceryl Stearate, DMDM Hydantoin, Disodium EDTA, Red 33 (CI 17200) (CI 17200), Polysorbate 20, Propylene Glycol, Stearyl Alcohol, Steareth 21, Tocopheryl Acetate (Vitamin E), Soy Milk, Panthenol, Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), Fragaria Vesca (Strawberry) Leaf Extract (Strawberry), Niacinamide, Biotin (Vitamin H)

VO 5 conditioners contain a lot of preservatives which some natural-haired girls might not like. Secondly, they contain Stearalkonium Chloride which some girls with natural hair also complain about.  In addition, some of them however contain proteins. If you have natural hair, you might need to be cautious about proteins in your hair products.

A lot of people with natural hair swear by VO5 conditioners, especially to co-wash. Use them and see if they work for YOU.

QIIi. What’s the difference between Strong Roots Red pimento oil & Red pimento oil?

There is not really a difference between Red pimento oil & Strong Roots Red pimento oil. Red Pimento oil is an ingredient in Strong Roots Red Pimento oil.

Red pimento oil is a type of essential oil derived from the leaves of the Pimento Tree, which is native to the Caribbean. Pimento oil improves blood circulation and the generation & growth of new cells. It is helpful for regrowing the hairline. I started using it regularly this year and I’ve noticed a tremendous regrowth of my hairline.

On the other hand, Strong Roots Red Pimento oil is actually produced by a company called Tropic Isle Living, the makers of products like Tropic Isle Living Jamaican Black Castor oil, Tropic Isle Living Coconut Castor oil, etc. Their Strong Roots Red pimento oil, in addition to Pimento oil, also contains coconut oil, Jamaican black castor oil and wheat germ oil.

I lost my hairline!
