Moda stylist tipApply in smaller sections than the original Wizard. Without silicone slip, the product needs to be worked through more deliberately — smaller sections, thorough combing, even coverage.
Reviews
Questions? We get them.
Good to know.
The questions we hear most about this product. If yours isn’t here, a real stylist will answer.
Ask ModaDoes removing silicones from The Wizard affect its performance?
No — the core detangling and heat protection benefits are maintained. The silicone-free formula feels slightly less slick on application but performs comparably. It's a genuine formula equivalent, not a watered-down alternative.
Why do some people prefer silicone-free products?
Yes — silicones coat the hair shaft to deliver slip and shine but can accumulate over time, particularly for clients who don't clarify regularly. Some clients find silicone-containing products create a buildup that makes their hair feel heavy or prevents moisture from penetrating. Silicone-free avoids this.
Is The Wizard Silicone-Free better for curly hair?
Yes — many curly hair routines avoid silicones because they can interfere with moisture absorption in a hair type that already struggles with hydration. The silicone-free formula is a natural choice for curly clients who want the Wizard's protection without any silicone barrier.
Do I need to clarify more often if I switch from silicone to silicone-free products?
No — switching to silicone-free products typically reduces the need for clarifying. Silicone buildup is one of the things Reset Clarifying Shampoo removes. Without silicones in your routine, regular shampoo does a more thorough cleaning job at every wash.
Is there a travel size of The Wizard Silicone-Free?
Yes — the 60ml mini is available on modasalon.ca, carry-on compliant. Same formula as the 150ml full size.
