The Good, the Bad, and the Confusing World of Haircare
Hidden Ingredients & Common Mistakes That Might Be Hurting You
When Hair Products Usually Behave Themselves:
If you actually read the label (who does that?), and follow the instructions—like, use this much or don’t bathe in it—most hair stuff plays nice with your scalp. That’s because, well, it’s supposed to.
And the nasty stuff? A lot of it’s been kicked out. Sulfates, parabens, even that ominous formaldehyde that sounds like it belongs in a crime drama—many products these days dodge ‘em entirely. Though, don’t get too cosy—some ingredients just wear better disguises.
Oh, and rinsing? Not optional. That leftover mousse from Friday’s party? It’s not aging like wine—it’s fermenting. Wash your hair. Please.
Also, hair types exist for a reason. What works for your friend’s voluminous curls might make your fine strands look like greasy spaghetti—just saying.
