Here is a list of silicone free hair products like leave in conditioner, creams, gels etc in India. Being silicone free, they are all CG friendly/CG approved products. I will keep updating it as and when I get new information 🙂 Also, since brands keep changing their formula every now & then, it’s always good to check their latest ingredients list to make sure they haven’t included any silicones lately. These are products that either I love or I love the ingredients list.

Hi Anjana, your blog is really nice and informative! It’s so inspiring to follow your tips and perspectives on products, styles and trends. Would love to work with you and have therefore sent you an inquiry a couple of days ago. Would be so great if you could get back to me and let me know your thoughts!

Some packaging shows some water soluble silicones, others don’t. So it all depends on which package you get

Hi Dear Anjana,
Your hair and even ur back ground is so much like mine.I used to hate my hair sooooo much and I even wanted to try rebounding.but ur diaries gave me hope that maybe I can have curles as gorgeous as yours.
BTW,which shampoo,cream,gel,conditioner do u use on ur hair?as u mentioned u got back to solphates and silicones but all the products u introduced in ur website are sil-sol free

Are their any silicon free hair cream that is below 500 in India.? All those you have provided here are too costly.

Request you to update the list of products.
Your detailed reviews are really helpful and guide the beginners on how to start and build up the routine but the lost of products does not include all the newer brands/products coming up that are pocket friendly and still work wonders

Hi Anjana! Great blog and list of products. How is the Giovanni LA Styling hold gel? I’m currently using Fix my curls Glaz defining hair gel and love it!

Hi Nemisha, it’s a tough hold gel and so may be a bit drying; but it is great if you are looking for hold!
