We know you're all about looking good and feeling great, but did you know that some hairstyling products could be doing more harm than good? Check out these five ingredients you'll want to steer clear of to keep your hair looking fresh and healthy.

1. Petrolatum

Derived from petroleum, it can create a barrier on the scalp, clogging pores and potentially leading to scalp issues and hair thinning.

2. Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)

Is a chemical used to improve the texture. Can be contaminated with carcinogens and harmful impurities.

3. Silicones

4. Mineral Oil

Mineral oil is a byproduct of petroleum, formed during the distillation process of petroleum [that creates] gasoline. Can block pores and prevent the scalp from breathing.

5. Fragrance (most common)
