Hmm as far as I know, there aren't really any shortcuts. All the methods used by people in this community are ways of gradually getting rid of the 'cones. They do come out eventually, so you should be fine sticking with the baking soda.

Clarifying shampoo will do it - it's pretty much what it's designed to do.

yep. shampooing your hair without using conditioner afterwards will do it.

just use the vinegar rinse as a conditioner, and you'll be all set.

I think it may depend on the silicone. I think NaturallyCurly.com may have a list of which cleaners are needed to get which silicones out (check the Curl Chemist article archive - I think it was there).

Try a LUSH bar . . . then hide it anonymous May 27 2008, 19:49:22 UTC
My hair absorbs cones like mad, and getting rid of them is a real PITA. What worked for me was a "moisurizing" coconut shampoo bar from LUSH, I think because it's mostly made from Sodium Lauryl Sulfate . . . just like regular shampoo, but without all that pesky water to hold it back. It took a couple of goes, but after a week my hair had lost that waterproofed tent feeling.
