Are the chemicals bad for the hair? Why? Can it cause hair loss when I get older? Thanks

Hair loss, or male pattern baldness, is caused by hormonal ( testosterone ) imbalances.
Not by CO2 dissolved in water.

I'm sure you've put far worse things on your head; like shampoo.

I'm intrigued. Please elaborate.

Think about what's in fizzy water and then think about what's in shampoo.

So the chemicals?

There's far more ingredients in shampoo than bottled water.

Fair enough.

Main ingredient in Bonaqua is carbonated water.
With small amounts of magnesium sulfate, potassium chloride and sodium chloride.
The last two are salts that your body needs ( see how much sodium chloride is in a can of soup ? )
And if you're ingesting that amount of magnesium sulfate when you drink Bonaqua, I don't think any absorbed through your scalp will have any noticeable effect.

There's less stringent safety oversight on shampoo ingredients compared to foodstuffs as well.

Your hair should be OK, but I think you have a drinking problem.

People might think you are weird for pouring Bonaqua on your head.

In some countries it’s perfectly safe to drink the tap water in the home. In other countries it’s only safe to wash with the tap water in the home. If you live in one of these other countries, then you might question ‘Why stop with the hair? Why not just bathe in Bon Aqua?’

Actually Bonaqua is basically carbonated tap water. I.e. they basically use municipal water.

Ah ok. I bought a bottle once. I thought it had some added minerals for rehydration purposes but that could have been another brand.

I would prefer to bathe in Perrier while drinking chilled Prosecco and petting a Chiwawa.

I ‘tend’ to agree. Except for the last part!

Common, you can't bathe in Perrier without having a Chiwawa by your side. It's like trying to seperate space & time in GR.

Smiles awkwardly and changes the subject pretending it didn't happen. Notes correct spelling in mind.

I suspect that someone bathing in carbonated water would be at risk of asphyxia by CO₂

You could sprain your tongue trying to differentiate between "frizzy hair" and "fizzy hair".

You could be sued by Coca Cola for giving their customer base a bad reputation.

If your scalp is dirty, you could be promoting plant growth by providing water and CO2 for sugar conversion through photosynthesis.

No wonder you're so confused!

If you bathe in Perrier, you should drink champagne and pet your French bulldog.

If you want to drink Prosecco, bathe in Pellegrino with your Bolognese.

And if you already have the Chihuahua, I would drink bourbon because he just peed in your bathtub.
