☆ After 20 years, I moved from New York City to Florida. I like it, but moving south has been filled with surprises.

After living in New York City for 20 years, I moved to Florida, about 15 minutes from Disney World. I was born and raised in New York City, so I knew living in Florida would be very different. It's safe to say I was very startled by this animal I wasn't expecting to see run across the front of the hotel. The nearest grocery store, restaurant, bar, laundromat, nail salon, and hair salon in New York City were conveniently only a one-block walk from my house. That's not a super far distance, but it's so different from what I'm used to.

Siloxanes are "ubiquitous" in hair productsSiloxanes, commonly known as silicones, are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that are "ubiquitous" in hair products, according to the study. AdvertisementIn the study, researchers measured VOC emissions during participants' typical hair care routines. They also had participants use the same products with and without heat tools to see if temperature made a difference. Heat tools increase emissionsResearchers found that using heat tools like straighteners and curling irons increased VOC emissions by up to three times as much when used at the highest setting. More research is needed on the long-term effectsThe study concluded that more research on siloxanes is "urgently needed," given how many hair products use them.
