Why do most shampoo and conditioner products contain 3 or more types of alcohol? Does it help your hair?

I was reading all of my shampoo bottles. I have the following shampoos: herbal essences, john freida, pantene, head and shoulders, satinique, and dove... all of which contain high concentrations of alcohol. Is this supposed to help your hair because I believe that alcohol dries your hair out... when products claim to be moisturizing but have alcohol second on the ingredients list... i am a little confused. Is there a benefit to alcohol? If not, do you know of any products which do not contain this ingredient that actually improve your hair's softness, frizz, dryness, texture... help?Why do most shampoo and conditioner products contain 3 or more types of alcohol?

cetyl, cetearyl, and stearyl alcohol are all fatty alcohols, and they have moisturizing properties. They are good!
