Best Answer

Many hairsprays (and other products which spray something) use compounds called chlorofluorocarbons, CFCs, as the pressuriser. These chemicals when released into the atmosphere can produce chlorine, which destroys ozone. Ozone is rather necesssary for the continuation of life on Earth, so hairsprays are bad for the environment.
