What is hairspray made from?

Hairspray typically consists of polymers, solvents, propellants, and other ingredients such as fragrances or conditioning agents. Polymers are the key components that provide the hold and flexibility to the hair when hairspray is applied. The solvents help in dispersing the polymers, while propellants help spray the product out of the container.

Why Butane in hairspray cans?

Butane is used in hairspray cans as a propellant to expel the product from the can when the nozzle is pressed down. It also helps to create a fine mist of hairspray for even application and distribution on the hair. Additionally, butane is preferred for its ability to evaporate quickly, which helps the hairspray dry faster once applied.


Is hairspray harmful?

This depends on the type of hairspray and use. For example, if you spray a bottle of hairspray into one's eyes it would certainly be harmful.

Most hairspray bottles have safety information as well as directions on the bottle, so reading this is your best bet.
