I only use infusium 23 shampoo lately. It's the only one I can find without the ammonium in it. With what the local stores are charging for it, I may be switching to "premium" shampoo (It'd only be $1-2 more).
I usually have a few different conditioners, so I can pick a scent.
While in the shower I read the ingredients of the finesse conditioner I had just put on my hair (it's about 3/4 empty). It has alcohol in it!!! UGH!
Guess that cuts another conditioner out of my choices.
Are there any other ingredients to be leery of? I know alcohol and ammonium are bad...are there others?
Was the ingredient cetyl alcohol? I don't think thats bad for your hair.
I think that's what it was.
I can just imagine the look on my face. I had a shock...must've looked like I'd accidentally dumped battery acid on my head! =:-O LOL
Not all alcohols are bad for your hair, some are acually good.
Don't worry, cetyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, it is in every hair conditioner I have ever seen, and it is not drying or damaging to the hair.
