Dimethicone is one of the best-known smoothing ingredients in haircare. It forms a flexible film on the strand, which can make hair feel softer and look shinier.

That film can also accumulate. The practical question is not whether dimethicone is present; it is whether your routine removes the film before hair feels heavy.
