Fatty alcohols are common in conditioners and masks because they add cushion, slip, and creaminess. They help a conditioner feel rich and make hair easier to comb.

They are different from quick-evaporating alcohols used as solvents in some sprays. Seeing "alcohol" on a label is not enough; the type matters.
