What makes hairspray stick?

Hairspray sticks due to its formulation, which typically includes polymers, solvents, and propellants. The polymers create a film that adheres to hair strands when the spray dries, providing hold and shape. Solvents help the product spread evenly and evaporate quickly, allowing the polymers to bond to the hair. Additionally, the spray's fine mist ensures even distribution for consistent styling.
