Meet our heroes, Dawna Jarvis a Los Angeles hairstylist and May Hall, DO a board-certified Dermatologist. They’re here today to shed some light on hairspray and its potential impact on your hair.
The Power of Polymers Hairspray’s grip is due to polymers that form a film after the solvent evaporates. It’s a stronghold from morning to night but is it harmful to your hair?
The Spectrum of Sprays From aerosol sprays to non-aerosol pumps sprays and dry texture formulations, each type provides a unique balance of volume and hold. Behind every spray is a story about its potential impact on hair health.
Dr. Hall assures that hairspray can be used in moderation and is still good for your hair. Moderation is the key. Overuse can cause hair strands to become brittle and dry. Alcohol in many sprays may also cause dandruff and dryness.
Fear not! With the right knowledge you can enjoy hairspray’s benefits without any of the drawbacks. Use sparingly and hold the canister away from your hair. Opt for alcohol-free formulas and wash your hair to prevent buildup.
Hair health is becoming more important as our society becomes more accustomed to the desire for volume and hold that lasts all day. The move towards non-aerosol, eco-friendly options reflects the desire to style without compromising one’s well-being.

Your hair deserves only the best, even when it comes to your hairspray. Are you ready to make each mist count?
