Why do companies PROMOTE unhealthy hair? By putting alcohol in their products?
IT doesnt' matter who they are MOST companies PUT alcohol in all of their beauty products and in turn they are promoting unhealthy hair. ALCOHOL damages the hair by drying it out. Sometimes they wont even list it as ALCOHOL but it's there. I realize companies use alcohol as a drying agent for hair spray but even the alcohol free stuff still has it listed there....I've attached a LINK to some of the ALCOHOL found in Hair Products. I mean companies need to be MORE aware. It's a vicious cycle yes but I mean WHY COVER up your hair with silicones and stuff because the other products like the Alcohol DRY your hair. WHY not just creat ALCOHOL free products and HELP PROMOTE HEALTHY HAIR instead of covering it UP with alcohol based crap.......

Not all alcohol is bad; cetyl alcohol comes from fatty acids, which make hair shine and reduce frizz and do not dry hair. The types to watch out for, which generally aren't in shampoo or conditioner are methanol or isopropol. Alcohols found in hairsprays evaporate so quickly that they don't dry your hair out either. If hair care products are used properly, and heat appliances used with care and caution, people should be able to maintain healthy hair. If your salon professional doesn't educate you on your products and how to use them properly, he/she is the bigger problem than some fatty acids in your shampoo, which do, in fact, HELP your hair.

whilst alchol may damage hair using a pint of beer over your hair once a week doesnt do any harm!
