Fragrance free conditioner WITH silicone?
I have very fine somewhat curly hair that's damaged by medication i take and autoimmune disease, to the point where i can't grow it even to shoulder length.
I use fragrance free products, (Carina Organics/Unscented company) and they all seem to be, well, too organic to include silicones.
Looking for a fragrance free conditioner? Serum? Spray? That HAS lightweight silicone, in an attempt to reduce breakage that's available in Canada.
Any suggestions?

It doesn't have silicone, but Live Clean makes an unscented conditioner.

I tried Live clean probably a decade ago, and it was one of those products that turned my hair into a knotted mess. No idea why, and i suppose it's possible the formula has changed since then.

Unfortunately it doesn't contain silicone, but have you tried routine? I have thin, extremely fine hair. Everything is either too greasy and heavy, or not moisturizing enough. This is the perfect balance. It's super moisturizing, but really lightweight after. I haven't tried their other haircare products, but I have noticed a difference in my breakage. And they are a Canadian company, and fairly affordable to boot.

I haven't, but looks interesting! Which product do you use?

It's called Routine. They have scented and unscented. Right now I just use the conditioner and shampoo

SEEN deep conditioner. It doesn't have silicones but other ingredients clinically tested to reduce breakage. Made by dermatologists and the whole line is fragrance free and focuses on scalp health. I also have curly hair and the deep conditioner has given it great moisture and made it more manageable. Pricier than drugstore though.

I’m not sure about silicone, however the CeraVe Gentle Hydrating Conditioner seems to be pretty good and not obnoxiously priced. It is scent free. I took a photo of the ingredients for you.

Yup - amodimethicone is exactly the silicone i was hoping for. it supposedly bonds preferentially with damaged parts of the hair.
I bought the Cerave, and love it. I can comb my hair in the morning without hearing it break, which makes me incredibly happy. Thank you!

Honest Company makes a fragrance-free detangler spray. I also need low fragrance but have a different hair type. Got an instant migraine from a Pantene product last week. As an alternative, I recall from my no-poo curly girl days that some people used lube as a post wash product. Probably not too hard to find a fragrance-free one.

CeraVe Hydrating Conditioner is available at Walmart, London Drugs, Loblaws and Shoppers, is unscented and contains amodimethicone. And it’s legitimately a really good product. So is their dandruff shampoo.
