  • Question
    Can you use hairspray as a makeup setting spray?

    No, never use hairspray on your face. This will cause your skin to dry out. In some cases, it may cause it to breakout. You should only use makeup setting spray on your face.

    No, these are two entirely different chemical compounds. One is for cooking, and one is for using on human skin.
  • Question
    Is it bad to put body spray in your hair?
    Community Answer
    Yes, putting body spray into your hair is a bad idea. The alcohol in body spray can cause your hair to dry out. If you want to scent your hair, mist the body spray into the air, then walk through it.
  • Question
    Can I add color to any of these hair sprays to add color to your hair?
    Community Answer
    No. Hair sprays are made to give hold to any hairstyles and keep it for the whole day. Coloring is something different, entirely.
  • Question
    Can I use a water bottle as a replacement for the spray bottle?

    No, because the spray bottle will let the mixture spread evenly on the hair and a water bottle would not.

    Will using hair spray damage my scalp or can I only use hairspray for long hair?

    Hairspray can be used on short hair as well as long hair, to great effect.
  • Question
    Can you use dry shampoo as a hairspray?
    Community Answer
    Yes, but it won't offer much hold. If you want to add texture to your hair, however, then you can use dry shampoo in the same way that you would use a lightweight, texturizing hairspray.
  • Question
    Can I use fruit juice instead of essential oil?
    Community Answer
    No, this will serve no purpose and it will make your hair and skin sticky.
  • Question
    Will sugar spray make my hair sticky?
    Community Answer
    Yes, depending on how much you use, it will be more or less sticky. However, it will wash out easily and won't damage your hair, so you'll only have to deal with the stickiness until the next time you wash your hair.
  • Question
    Does the lemon spray brush out or would I have to keep washing my hair?
    Community Answer
    You would have to wash your hair to get it out because lemon contains sugar, which will probably make your hair at least a bit sticky, depending on how much you use at any one time.
  • Question
    Will the salt spray color my hair? Like, can it make it from dark brown to blonde? Or honey brown or auburn? My hair is dark brown what color will it become if I use the salt spray?

    Community Answer
    If you use a lot of it for a long time, it might lighten your hair. Now, I'm not saying "it will turn from black to blonde in one use", because that's simply not true. But, if you use it for a long time, it will slightly lighten your hair.
  • Question
    Can you use rubbing alcohol instead of vodka for the light-hold hairspray?
    Vicki29
    Community Answer
    No, that would not be a good idea. Rubbing alcohol tends to dry out hair leaving it dry and brittle.
