Hair Spray : What is it?

HairSpray1

Hair sprays are used to stiffen hair and hold a hairstyle in place. They are made up of various polymers that provide hold, reduce moisture, and increase water resistance. They are generally weaker than hair wax or gel, but are gentler and less damaging to the hair. They are sprayed from aerosol cans and are usually scented.

Kinds of Hair Sprays include the following:

High hold hair sprays

  • High hold hair sprays work by welding hair shafts together, creating a solid mass.
  • They provide a stiff, firm hold, which may break the shaft when combed loose.
  • They tend to reduce the hair’s shine and give it a dull, coarse finish.

Flexible hair sprays


  • Flexible hair sprays weld the shafts at small spots to reduce stiffness and breakage.
  • They allow the hair to move and bounce, making it look softer and more natural.
  • They can also be combed and washed off without breaking the hair shafts.

Choosing Hair Sprays (Buying Tips)

Thickness: Choose a thick, smooth hair spray that blends easily into your hair. Make sure there are no visible droplets after the spray has dried. Look for one that does not sag or drip when applied.

Removal:
Choose a hair spray that easily washes off with shampoo and water. Avoid extremely stiff sprays because they damage the hair shafts when combed or washed. Look for highly aerated sprays to reduce the contact with bonding chemicals
