FunctionSilicone
What it is — Amodimethicone (INCI: Amodimethicone), an amino-functional silicone designed to interact with hair.
What it does — It is commonly used to condition hair, tending to bond selectively to more damaged, porous areas to smooth the cuticle, reduce frizz and improve slip and shine.
Typical use — Found in conditioners, hair masks, leave-ins and smoothing treatments.
Who it suits / good to know — Often favored for dry, damaged or frizz-prone hair; those who avoid silicones or prefer very lightweight products may take note of its presence.
Safety — Rated low risk in typical hair-care use. This is general information rather than medical advice; patch-test on the scalp if you are prone to irritation.
