Silicone Free Hair Products Benefits. With many products that use silicones, hair becomes heavy and weighed down. Silicones may serve a purpose, but they should be used sparingly and in some cases not at all.
I personally find the benefits of silicones to far outweigh any negatives. Because silicones seal the hair cuticles, it means that it prevents further moisture from absorbing into the hair. They are insoluble and not biodegradable.

Enhance the shininess and softness of the hair. Sorry to break it to you, but the shine you get from silicones is a fake shine from the plastic. Silicones can dry out your hair if you excessively use products with silicones. Curly hair, on the other hand, tends to be on the dry side and the shape of the strands prevents the ingredient from sliding.
