There are some alcohols that can be used in our hair. Then there are some that are harmful for our hair. Here is a short list of good and bad alcohols... And remember , to always check your ingredients in your hair products before making a purchase.
Cetyl Alcohol:
This is a fatty alcohol that is derived from coconut and palm oils. This alcohol is an emollient. It makes hair and skin softer.
