MollC, your comment made me laugh so much. BAM: science!!

I love silicones in my makeup. My primer, foundation, concealer AND powder all have silicone! In fact my primer (NYX Studio Perfect Photo Loving Primer) is almost nothing BUT silicone – the first ingredient is dimethicone! Foundation is MAC Studio Fix Fluid (LOVE) concealer is MAC Select MoistureCover, powder is MAC Mineralize Skinfinish Natural. I’m not sooo keen on silicones in my hair products, but I have used and loved Morrocan Oil, so there yah go!

Short fine hair.no silicone products for me.makes my hair dull and greasy. Quite hard to find shampoos without that don’t cost a bomb.currently using timotei pure. Its brill. Use primers for big nights out for staying power.

I wouldn’t mind them if they didn’t make my skin breakout. You read that correct – I find with the back of my neck/shoulders get spots when I use silicone-based serums.

I love Silicon products! gimme primers and hair oils full of them. I have really long and incredibly thick hair so these calm the frizz in my hair, make it silky and full looking, not frizzy and bushy! I went for two weeks while on hols without my hair oil and my hair is only now recovering, 2 weeks later!

Its like everything once its used in moderation its fine. I use primers for my combination skin and my fine, (frizzy)wavy hair regularly gets a good GHD’ing would be a sad(der) and sorrier mess if I didnt use silicon based products.

I want to hate silicons and be one of these girls who swears by all natural and silicon-free products. But my hair disagrees with that, and who am I to go against my hair’s will?

Silicone melts at 1,400 degrees celsius (and hence is often used as a sealant or insulation for wires etc) so I wouldn’t worry about it melting on to your hair.
