Silicone-Free Hair Routine: Guide by Hair Type
On The Wild Side
A silicone-free hair routine involves 3 steps: gentle sulfate-free shampoo, nourishing treatment, vegetable oil on the lengths. Visible results in 3 to 4 weeks.
Switching to a silicone-free hair routine means restoring your hair's true movement and shine—the kind that comes from nourishment, not a synthetic film.
Why avoid silicones?
Silicones instantly smooth… but accumulate, weigh down, and sometimes mask a suffocating scalp. Without silicone, your hair regains real radiance and suppleness.
Which ritual for your hair type?
| Hair Type | OTWS Ritual |
|---|---|
| Dry, curly or coily | Dry and Textured Hair Ritual |
| Fine to normal | Fine to Normal Hair Ritual |
| Oily scalp / dandruff | Exfoliating Shampoo 1×/week |
The 3-step protocol
-
Wash
Daily Shampoo — gentle surfactants, sulfate-free.
-
Treat
Conditioner or Hair Treatment Mask (1×/week).
-
Seal
A few drops of Hair Treatment Oil on the lengths.
The transition period (3 to 4 weeks)
For the first few weeks, hair may seem less manageable—this is normal: it's getting rid of silicone residues. Be patient and supplement with a weekly nourishing mask.
Frequently asked questions
Silicone-free = dull hair?
Possible for the first few weeks, then natural shine returns.
Oil on oily scalp?
Only on the lengths and ends, not on the scalp.
Do I need a clarifying shampoo first?
Optional—can speed up the elimination of silicone residues.
