And what is wrong with liquid crude?
Because our water here in the gulf is full of microbes that eat crude... Perhaps you were not aware that the Gulf of Mexico alone naturally leaks the rough equivalent of 1-2 exxon valdex amounts of crude to the gulf floor every year. We have our own homegrown microbres that eat the stuff up yum. During the oil spill in the Gulf of Campeche, Ixtoc I and during the BP horizon spill last yr, those same microbes exploded and had a feast on the crude. Dame with deepwater horizon.. they are always there, hungry and just waiting for a snack.
In the scheme of things, what I put in my hair is infitessimal compared to the chemical laden conditioner that many use.. Read the label on any jar of conditioner. Next, discounting the smell good stuff added, refined petroleum products are natural despite the notion otherwise, as you said, its refined crude. The problem with a naturally occurring substance is??
For those who might be interested, that has nothing to do with hair... google Ixtoc I and read the myriad of articles both pro and con out there.. It was the 2nd largest oil spill, occurred in 1979 in the Gulf of Campeche.. ymmv
