What is it?

Amodimethicone — polydimethylsiloxane with side amino groups (-NH₂). In INCI: Amodimethicone. The amino groups give the molecule a positive charge and the ability to specifically adsorb to negatively charged damaged cuticle — that is, the silicone settles exactly where it is needed, rather than uniformly across the hair.

A premium conditioning agent in masks for severely damaged hair, treatment products, and professional hair care. More effective than regular dimethicone in restoring chemically and thermally damaged hair.

Key Benefits

✦

Targeted coverage of damaged areas

Amino groups selectively bind to the most damaged, most negatively charged areas of the cuticle — targeted repair instead of uniform accumulation. Less buildup, greater effect where it is needed.

◈

Restoration of smoothness and shine

Fills cavities in the damaged cuticle and forms a protective film — reduces porosity, restores the smoothness of the shaft, and provides vibrant shine. The effect is noticeable after the first use.

✧

Reduction of damage during combing

Reduces the friction coefficient between hair strands — less brittleness during combing and styling. Clinical studies show a reduction in breakage by 50–70% in severely damaged hair.

Less buildup than dimethicone

Due to the targeted mechanism, amodimethicone accumulates significantly less than regular dimethicone. However, with frequent use, a clarifying shampoo once every 2–3 weeks remains a good practice.
