How long does it usually take for hair to adjust to being silicone-free?  Like how long after quitting 'cones will you be able to tell if it is working for you or not?  I know it's probably different from person to person, but what is a good average?

Thanks in advance. 

Thanks for your reply!

I've only used my silicone-free conditioner once and so far I don't really see a big difference.  I've heard people say that when they stopped using silicones, their hair was crazy-looking for a couple weeks or whatever, and then it started to behave and looked great.

I was just wondering if everybody goes through such a big adjustment phase or what.  I wasn't sure how long I should wait before deciding if my hair is better off or if I should try another way.

Thanks Trisha.    I will probably try using my new products until the bottles are empty and then decide if I want to stick with them or try something else.

Thanks both of you. 

I go off the cones for the summer, and then bring them back for the cold winter. I feel the difference within weeks! 

I used to think Asian hair was an evil creation.

I've tried with cones and without, and while I liked the without cones better for overall hair health, it seemed like I needed to wash my hair more often without cones-maybe because the lather wasn't stripping all my scalp's oils.  I've used both and have learned (at least for my hair) never say "never". (except for bleaching and straightening, which i won't do.)
