If you put the conditioner on your hair, and makes sure that none of it touches yoru scalp….would the alledged danger of the CPS matter? since hair is dead anyway? I think this is what i’ll do, since its hardly likely that i will be throwing out my conditioner.

LOL @ the ‘hiding behind the chewing gum’ comment…well….i just bought a new conditioner and CPS is the third ingredient listed- , which means its one of the major components of the product…i was super excited when i saw that its an emollient…i must say that after reading these responses, i do have soem misgivings now BUT —how many other alledgedly bad things have i used on my skin and hair over the past many years that I dont even know about? Countless, i suppose.

So therefore, i’m going to use this conditioner, adding soem natural oils to it to increase its…beneficial value…if I find it to work for MY hair, then i’ll buy another bottle, if not, I wont. But thanks for all the info here —this just made me think, remember at one point coconut oil was the black sheep of natural oils? Well, well….what are we hearing now? Now its the miracle oil for skin and hair?

I live in the tropics where coconut and coconut oil is used in abundance, and we are now just smiling at this ‘new find’ in the industry, cause we’ve been consuming coconut and its byproducts for years, with great results and healh benefits. Sometimes we just need to try things for ourselves before we judge.

My hair stylist says that people with curly hair should not use any hair products with silicon in them because curly hair can break more easily and tends to be dryer than straight hair; and its better to use a leave in conditioner. The silicon causes curly hair to over tangle and causes the curl to be weighted down, thus destroying to real shape and bounce of the curl.

I have researched some ingredients in the past and sometimes the beauty brains comes up and I’ll read your article and the comments. It seems that thebeautybrains gets into fights quite often when someone disagrees.

“Your knowledge is not based on logic but based on belief. You are so committed to your belief that you reject any conflicting information.”

I really think this applies to yourself more than anyone else.
