There are different types of alcohol. The word alcohol can be misleading. Not all forms are bad, Some are actually beneficial to hair, and is used as an emollient. So no, i do not believe the alcohol in their styling creams is bad for the hair. If you have any concerns about ingredients just look up the ingredients on google or wikipedia.

about suggestions from this room. Snipe seems to know his stuff. and i would take his recommendation, and also jrobs recommendations as something that could potentially work great for you. But with this hair wearing thing, there is no definitive answer. Sometimes one person might enjoy something that another person dislikes. So ultimately you should try out products and find the best for you.
