If alcohol is drying to the hair, why is it an ingredient in most deep conditioning treatments?

Asked by silverlining (78points) June 28th, 2011

I recently just read that I should avoid using hair products containing alcohol because they are very drying. However, the very conditioner I am using to combat my dry, breakage-prone hair has alcohol in it. I did a quick google search to find that other brands contain it as well. Why is this?
