How does using alcohol-based products affect hair?

It adds moisture
It can dry out hair and scalp
It increases hair elasticity
It promotes hair growth

The correct answer is: It can dry out hair and scalp

Using alcohol-based products can indeed dry out hair and the scalp, which is why this answer is considered correct. Alcohol, particularly in higher concentrations, is known for its astringent properties. When applied to hair and scalp, these products can remove moisture and natural oils, leading to dryness. This can result in a feeling of brittleness in the hair, making it more prone to breakage and contributing to a flaky scalp. While moisturizing properties are essential for maintaining healthy hair, alcohol-based products do not add moisture; they often do the opposite by stripping it away. It is important to be mindful of the ingredients in hair care products, as many might contain alcohol which could compromise hair health over time. Additionally, the assertion that alcohol increases hair elasticity or promotes hair growth is not supported by evidence; elasticity is generally enhanced by moisture and proteins, while growth is influenced by a variety of factors including nutrition and scalp health.
