"...I see you took the step to a silicone..."
Kiwi mentioned she is using "vegetable silicone". I'm not sure I'd assume she means the usual silicones that everyone loves to hate.
If she is using hemisqualane (I don't know that she is -- just guessing), this ingredient is very definitely not a silicone. It's made from sugarcane and it is used as an alternative to some types of silicones.
In haircare products, hemisqualane reduces combing friction, adds shine, and reduces frizz. It's on the expensive side, but it's very nice.
