Mixing heat with hair styling products may be bad for your health

Hair products often contain ingredients that easily evaporate, so users may inhale some of these chemicals, potentially posing health repercussions.

The scientists report that using these hair care products can change indoor air composition quickly, and common heat styling techniques -- straightening and curling -- increase VOC levels even more.
