It isn’t always easy to find safe, eco-friendly hair products that work, but the best non-aerosol hairsprays deliver light to strong hold and are tested and approved by customers.But not all non-aerosol hairsprays are alike — so before you buy, make sure you know what you need from a hairspray based on your hair type and how you want to style it. Also consider the ingredients you can’t live without or want to avoid completely.
Many non-aerosol sprays are beneficial for all hair types, but products formulated to create lift or a very strong hold might prove especially effective for someone with thick, straight hair. For those with natural curls or short hair styles, moisturizing sprays that are thicker than liquid hairsprays but not as thick as gels could be just the thing for creating definition, smoothing, and locking in moisture without weighing your hair down.
Non-aerosol hairsprays are generally friendlier to the environment because of the ingredients they leave out of their formulas, such as compressed gases and volatile organic compounds (VOCs), but what’s left can still provide numerous benefits to your tresses. Some use organic moisturizing agents such as shea and coconut oil instead of lanolin or mineral oil (which can be irritants), have understated plant-derived scents, or steer clear of perfumes, dyes, or chemicals that irritate allergies. And some choose to avoid potentially harmful chemicals such as formaldehyde, phthalates, and parabens. But if you don’t have skin or scalp sensitivities and don't mind alcohol, fragrance, or smoothing agents such as silicones, many drugstore options can offer hold or definition without costing you a fortune.
