Should I use paraben-free products?
Will hair products with paraben damage my hair over time? Where can I find paraben-free hair care products in stores or online?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Paraben is a chemical used to preserve products and they can be found in many grooming products like shampoo and also deodorant, toothpaste, and hair gel. Many people are concerned about paraben because it mimics estrogen in the body (excess estrogen plays an important role in breast cancer) and also may cause allergic reactions (either immediately or with long term use).
You can educate yourself more about specific types of parabens possibly in your products here: http://www.cosmeticsdatabase.com/wordsearch.php?query=paraben&order=webscore_DESC&&showmore=ingredients&start=0. Some parabens rate a 6 on a scale of 0-10 (0 being harmless, 10 being a high hazard). It’s worth looking into.
There is no evidence that paraben will damage your hair over time, although there has not been enough research to know for sure what paraben may do to your hair or body in the long run.
