While the early hairsprays were made up of chlorofluorocarbons, the practice was abandoned due to findings of damage to ozone layer through CFC. Today, the hairspray is made up of solvent materials along with some vegetables mixed to provide stiffness. The formula contains a variety of polymer in it.

PVPVA (copolymer) for hold. Ethanol (solvent) to carry the active ingredients in the formula. Isopropyl myristate, diethyl phthatlate (additives) for flexibility. Aminomethyl propanol(AMP), ammonium-hydroxide, morpholine, cyclohexylamine, and borateesters are more additives to stop the iside of the can from rusting. Butane and propane (propellants).

I realy doent know but its something like Nq2H7o

Too complex to specify here and different sprays will have different mixtures of chemicals. I suggest reading the ingredients on the label. Many contain organophosphates which are related to nerve gas.
