Description
Jinglin Jiang and co-authors measure chemicals released by hair care products indoors in a study published in 2023. Siloxanes, smooth-feeling ingredients in many styling products, are a concern for health and the environment. The team ran realistic hair routines in a home-like building and tracked airborne chemicals second by second.
Siloxanes dominated the emissions, above all one called D5. Total release per person varied widely with product type, tool heat, and hair length. Raising a straightener's heat from room level to 210 degrees more than doubled emissions in some cases, and could triple them. Ventilation carries these chemicals outdoors; the authors estimate hair routines may send several tons of D5 outside each year in the United States alone.
