  • Dimethicone vs dimethiconol ?

    How do they differ from each other?
    The -OH groups don’t make it water soluble.

    I’ve tried applying them on hair
    at normal concentrations (dissolved in cyclomethicone) I didn’t notice any difference
    at high concentrations, or 100% pure, dimethiconol feels a bit “wet” and “colder” afterwards, unlike dimethicone.

    How can you choose one over the other for hair and skin applications?
