Trying out new hairstyles can be a lot of fun and especially when aiming for the looks of the stars in the glossies, hair products come to the rescue in helping to sleek, volumise, or curl our hair. However, most styling products, such as hairspray and hair gels, contain harmful ingredients to help you get the look you want.
One such unfavourable ingredient often found in hair products is Isopropyl Alcohol. This chemical compound is a potent solvent and is used to dissolve oils, which makes styling easier. And still, known to cause nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and headaches amongst other physical reactions, isopropyl alcohol definitely belongs to a long list of irritating ingredients that should rather be avoided in beauty products [1]. In addition to its health-damaging characteristics, the chemical ingredient also strips your hair of moisture and the natural, good oils that your scalp produces. As a consequence, it dries your hair out so much that it is more likely to become brittle, full of split ends, or even to fall out.
Instead of using hair products with lots of bad ingredients and chemicals, try using a natural and organic alternative. Using natural and organic products for your hair is not only safe but also more beneficial to you in the long run. Your hair will be healthier, stronger, and overall better for a long time.
