If we did BBB daily, sure it's a thing to worry about. Once. No. Not even a blip on the radar.I guess I'm in the minority here, but I'm actually sort of alarmed by a hair gel that could keep hair in place for days including after swimming. I get it, no one uses it every day, but yikes. Kind of makes you wonder what's in it!
In reading this thread, didn't see anyone post this. From the moms panel blog in May.

I am assuming the changes may have occurred when changing to the Original Sprout products they mention. We don't do all organic foods or products or anything, but I do research hair products and soaps quite a bit to avoid parabens when possible. I'm not nuts about it, but for stuff we use every day, I try to stay away from certain things. We actually use Sprout at home and I love their stuff but then again I'm not doing BBB-style princess buns regularly
Paraben-free products are the latest trend. Parabens prevent microbial growth and are present in TONS of beauty products. Parabens are also (allegedly) endocrine disrupters and linked to various health implications. Many salons are switching to less toxic paraben-free products. Everything has "chemicals," even organic products. It's more about less toxicity, but I digress.
IMO, this is probably mostly about Disney getting lots of questions about parabens in the products because they use them on little kids. It's not just super all natural/organic fanatics who have become aware of parabens. It's a relatively common question now -- especially since mainstream beauty brands are now offering paraben-free options. There's sort of a paraben-free craze going on right now.
Yet more much ado about nothing that I'm fed up with these days
Went back to read the post and I believe yet again, the Mom's panel got it wrong. From reports of guests who went and got it done, they use NO gel at all. Not in FL at least. I think CA is using a different process/product line. I know someone who went and their daughter's hair was horrendous just a couple hours after the appointment.
The only reason the old gel kept the hair in place when swimming is because you didn't touch it. As soon as you tried to get it out, took the hair down and ran your hands in it, it came right out. It was water soluble. It didn't leave residue.
