Are you the reason your hair has become an alcoholic?

You’ve probably heard that alcohol is bad for your hair, because it dries it out and makes it break easily. That’s it. Nothing else? There’s so much more to the story. Alcohol can be both bad and good. Disagree? Let me explain. After doing some research I found out some interesting facts about this “alcohol” that we speak so badly about. Alcohol isn’t just one chemical, it’s a whole bunch of chemical; or as my Grandma would say “A whole heap of um!” It’s like a family. The alcohol that we speak about that dries out our hair goes by the name of Ethanol. Ethanol is a common alcohol used in most of our hair products and it can dry out our hair. Alcohols that are added to products to make it evaporate quicker are never good. Alcohols that are used in conditioners and oils like, cetearyl, cetyl, and stearyl are actually pretty good for your hair. It gives the hair moisture and softens the hair making it easier to manage. It’s not hard to look out for these types of alcohols just make sure you read the label. Check for the Ethanol because it will dry out your hair, and it’s mainly found in hair sprays and gels. So, how do you hold your hair without using the bad alcohol? Look for products without alcohol most products will have a label stating that they are alcohol free (they’ve got bragging rights). Some popular products that are alcohol free include (but not limited to) Nexxus Exxtra Gel Super Hold Sculptor and Hempz Firm Hold Shaping Spray. I’ve found ways to get my hair to hold without using products containing alcohol, from experimenting at home one day I found out that using leave in conditioner will work on my hair and cause it to hold. I guess you’ll just have to do as I did and experiment with different products. Simple trial and error…stay fab!
