Hairsprays are made using polymers that basically form an invisible hairnet when you spray it on your hair. It envelops your hair in a lightweight film and bonds individual hair fibers where they happen to touch. The hairspray then dries, and at the intersections, the polymers adhere and hold your hair in place, so you can show off your hairstyle all day long!

What does hairspray do?

You also spray hairspray on your hair to protect it from moisture and wind. Hairsprays are usually made from synthetic ingredients such as vinyl acetate and acrylates. Two popular polymers are polyvinylpyrrolidone and polydimethylsiloxane. These are responsible for the stickiness of hairspray and the long-lasting hold. Sprays that advertise as "all-day hold" usually contain more polydimethylsiloxane.
