These alcohols. are used in shampoo and conditioners to improve the lubricant effect of the product.
*** Edit***
The above is true to some extent but not completely. The alcohol affects how the product looks and feels in your fingers, the same as silicone/dimethecone does.
But it also has another use. It is there to balance the pH of the product. If the alcohol was left out, the other ingredients in your shampoo would make a reasonably alkaline mixture, however your hair responds best to a slightly acidic bath. It makes the cuticle lie flatter, and dry better, so when used properly, it can make your hair more shiny, than if you used a product without it, and it can prevent too many snarls.
I hope this is helpful!

What is the heat of combustion of cetyl alcohol?
The heat of combustion of cetyl alcohol is approximately 41.7 kJ/g. This value represents the amount of heat released when one gram of cetyl alcohol is completely burned in oxygen.
What is exactly the role of cetyl alcohol in Pantene shampoo?
Surfactants,- are wetting agents that lower the surface tension of a liquid, allowing easier spreading, and lower the interfacial tension between two liquidsThe above is true, the alcohol also balances the pH, as hair responds best to a lightly acidic bath, which makes the cuticle lie flat and therefore diminishes catching and damage from brushing, and improves shine

Will stearyl or cetyl alcohol be detected by the scram bracelet?
Stearyl and cetyl alcohol are common cosmetic ingredients that are unlikely to be detected by a SCRAM bracelet, which is typically designed to detect alcohol consumption through sweat. These alcohols are not the type that are typically associated with intoxication.
Will stearyl or cetyl alcohol be detected by the scram braclet as alcohol consuption?
No, stearyl and cetyl alcohol are fatty alcohols and do not produce the same effects as ethanol, the type of alcohol typically detected by a SCRAM bracelet. The SCRAM bracelet is designed to monitor for the presence of ethanol in sweat, which is associated with alcoholic consumption. Since these fatty alcohols are not metabolized like ethanol, they will not trigger a positive result on the device.
Can you show me the organic structure of cetearyl alcohol and tell me what organic family it's in?
Cetearyl alcohol is actually a mixture of both stearyl alcohol and cetyl alcohol (refer to links below for structures). Both of these compounds would be considered "fatty alcohols" due to their long carbon chains. Fatty alcohols are in the aliphatic hydrocarbon family. To draw the structure of "cetearyl alcohol" you would actually have to draw the structure of cetyl alcohol and the structure of stearyl alcohol.

Cetyl alcohol water solubility?
Cetyl alcohol is minimally soluble in water, with a solubility of around 0.005 g/100 mL at room temperature. It is a fatty alcohol and its solubility in water is limited due to its hydrophobic nature.
What is the heat of combustion of cetyl alcohol?

Does scram braclet detect cetyl alcohol?
No, the SCRAM bracelet is designed to detect alcohol consumption by measuring a person's perspiration for ethanol molecules. It does not detect the presence of cetyl alcohol or any other substances besides alcohol.
What lotion does not have cetyl alcohol in it?
Burt's Bees has a hand creme that does not list cetyl alcohol in its list of ingredients--I can't remember the exact name of it, but it has lots of purple on the tube. Also, Yardley of London has a lavander body lotion with no cetyl alcohol or any other alcohol listed (at least not one with alcohol in its name). Both of these items, I've for at least a year, so don't know if the current versions of these items have cetyl alcohol or not. It'll give you a starting point...
