What is non aerosol hairspray?
Non aerosol hairspray is does not contain propellants which can be damaging to your hair. It comes in a pump spray bottle, sometimes referred to as a spritz.
Which is better aerosol or non aerosol hairspray?
Some people prefer to use aerosol hairspray because it coats the hair more evenly with a fine mist and leaves less residue which is great for fine hair and straighter styles. However, it can also be more drying and damaging.
Non aerosol hairsprays are best for curls and more environmentally friendly because they don't release harmful propellants into the atmosphere.
How long does a bottle of hairspray last?
The shelf life of unopened hairspray is about 3 years. Once you open the product, it will last about 18 months. Extreme warm and cold temperatures can cause the consistency to deteriorate and lose performance.
Is it okay to use hairspray everyday?
Hairstyling is a big part of your style and health. If you're using the product in moderation, washing daily or every other day, hairspray will typically be harmless if it doesn't look or feel dry, hard, sticky or crunchy!
