I think this bill is a good idea because it will help protect people from harmful chemicals in hair products. I don't want to be using stuff that could make me sick, you know? But what do you think about how this might affect salons and businesses that use these products?

This bill is so dumb, it's gonna mess with my hair routine. Like, why do they care so much about this stuff? It's ridiculous. People who care about their hair are gonna be affected by it.
