Hello,

So alcohol is bad right? That's what i've always been told. But it seems like every single Conditioner I puck up has Cetyl Alcohol in it. I bought Matrix for Curls ($25 bottle) and after about a month of using it I'm liking the way my curls are feeling and looking. Then I looked at the ingredients again and I found the alcohol. Should I keep searching for a different conditioner or is this ok?

thanks!

Cetyl alcohol is okay because it's a fatty alcohol, and fatty alcohols are moisturizing and add slip/creaminess to conditioners.

Here's a list of the other fatty/okay alcohols:
