Understanding how hair spray works on hair
Hair spray is a popular hair styling product that is used to keep hair in place. It contains a variety of chemicals, including polymers and solvents that can help the hair maintain its shape. However, hair spray can be difficult to remove from hair, especially if it has been applied too heavily or too often. Understanding how hair spray works on hair can help you remove it safely and effectively.
Using natural remedies to remove hair spray from hair
While there are many commercial hair spray removers available on the market, natural remedies can be just as effective. For example, apple cider vinegar can help to break down the polymers in hair spray and make it easier to comb out. Simply mix 1 part apple cider vinegar with 2 parts water and apply it to your hair. Leave it on for a few minutes, then rinse with warm water and comb out the hair spray.
