Ok for thin fine hair easily weighed down? I used to use this as a teenager but I don't remember what it used to use it for I think it was just the best thing for frizz out there in the 90s or early 2000s? That was at least affordable to me and that was a stretch on affordable.

Is this product paraben free?
- Asked by Denise
- Official Answer By SebastianNo it is not and this is why. Parabens are ingredients known as preservatives that protect products against the growth of bacteria, fungi and yeast. Parabens are widely used in virtually all product categories. Parabens derived from para-hydroxybenzoic acid. Alternatively, PHBA which occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables. Parabens have been safely used in products for over 100-years. The parabens used in cosmetics are identical to those found in nature.
