Chemical heads
Those unpronounceable ingredients in hair-care products raise eyebrows about the effects on users and the environment.
Your hair is drab. Dull. Fine. Gone. Needs more volume. Needs less frizz. It needs something.
Maybe it needs cetyl alcohol. Mixed with a dash of propylene glycol, and how about a little butane?
Once upon a time, people lathered, rinsed, never repeated, and went on their merry bad-hair days. Then, science and chemistry specialized the way folks wax and pomade, condition and shine.
About 10 years ago, companies began creating new compounds so they could design products for specific hair types, for curls and fine hair and thick locks alike.
Now, some consumer groups worry about the mix of chemicals that meld into that sudsy rinse every morning. They point to incomplete labeling and little government oversight of the cosmetics and hair industry, accusations the Food and Drug Administration does not deny.
