Hairspray FAQs

WHAT IS HAIRSPRAY?

Hairspray is a liquid fixative presented as a fine mist stored in an aerosol bottle for precise application. Popular across all genders, hairspray is suitable for use on both wet and dry hair. Used to fix particular styles such as up-dos and ponytails in place throughout the day, hairspray can also be used to create volume and tame fly-away strands allowing you to rock a sleek and sophisticated look.

Hairspray is available in many different types. The Harmony Hairspray range includes Firm Hold, Extra Firm Hold and Natural Hold.

WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING HAIRSPRAY?
Hairspray is extremely effective at taming frizz, creating a secure hold that lets you experiment with a variety of hairstyles. Whilst hairspray won’t actually encourage hair growth, it does let you create fuller styles that give your hair the appearance of more volume, particularly advantageous for users with thinner hair.

IS HAIRSPRAY BAD FOR MY HAIR?
If you are using hairspray in moderation and washing your hair frequently these products are typically harmless. However, some products contain Ethanol, causing scalp irritation and the hair to dry out. It’s important to check the ingredients list before purchasing, especially if you suffer with sensitive skin.
IS IT BAD TO LEAVE HAIRSPRAY IN YOUR HAIR OVERNIGHT?
Excessive hairspray usage may dehydrate the hair and scalp which can cause damage to the hair however, a quality product such as Harmony won’t leave any residue on your hair and will fall back into its natural position after brushing.
CAN HAIRSPRAY MAKE YOUR HAIR FALL OUT?
Hairspray can cause hair to fall out somewhat, but it cannot lead to permanent hair loss. If you use hairspray excessively, your hair follicles may weaken and become more brittle over time making your hair more prone to breakage causing it to fall out more than usual.
HOW DO I GET HAIRSPRAY OUT OF MY HAIR?

Simply running a brush through your hair at the end of the day can help to break down the particles and remove hairspray. For more efficient removal, you can apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner to your scalp and then brush it out.

If you use hairspray regularly or in large amounts, the best way to get rid of build-up is to cleanse and shampoo your hair. Clarifying shampoos are great for breaking down the particles that cling to your strands and scalp and will leave your hair looking and feeling fresh.
