Hair spray is also often referred to as hair lacquer.
Method of application
Hair spray is applied from a bottle and comes in either aerosol spray or pump varieties.
Composition
Hair spray’s active ingredient is a suitable polymer, also referred to as the chemical elastesse. This is a variety of liquid elastic. Chemical elastesse keeps the hair firm and stiff without causing it to become so brittle that it breaks or snaps. Many hair sprays contain some sort of scent.
Popular brands
Hair spray can be bought at most drug stores or grocery stores or more expensive or specialty brands can be purchased at a salon from one’s hair stylist.
Some key popular brands include Paul Mitchell, Garnier Fructis, Pantene and Redken.
History
The idea of aerosol originated in 1790 – which is when self pressurized carbonated beverages were introduced in France. The first aerosol can and valve was created by Norway’s Erik Rotheim on November 23, 1927. In 1943, two United States Department of Agriculture researchers by the names of Lyle David Goodhue and W.N. Sullivan developed a small aerosol can that could be pressurized by liquefied gas. It was this design that made hair spray – and products similar to it – possible. (In addition to the work of Robert H. Abplanal, who in 1953 invented a valve that dispensed gases under pressure.) ‘’’Hair spray’’’ is commonly used to keep or create a hairstyle.
