Heat styling and health of people and the world.
First the yoga pants - I was so upset to find out they shed microplastics when laundered. Now heat styling & heat protectant.
They say the main culprit is cyclopentasiloxane, so if it's just silicones and high heat I think most curly stylists avoid those, but I'm sure we all sometimes get a blowout or flat ironing, and lots of people do that every day.
