In the past, the only hair styling products for men were pomades and tics. These days, there are a wide variety of mousses, waxes, sprays, gels, and other products.
In choosing from the endless variety of men’s hair styling products, one thing that is surprisingly overlooked is how gentle they are on the scalp and hair. Women who often grow their hair long are sensitive to damage to their hair, but men with short hair tend to be more concerned with styling effects.
Therefore, we will focus on hairspray for men and introduce some recommended checkpoints that you should keep in mind when choosing a hairspray.
Surprisingly Scary! Damage caused by hairspray
Even men who are concerned about hair loss and use hair growth products or choose shampoos that are gentle to the scalp are surprisingly indifferent to hairspray and other styling products. Although hairspray is indispensable for a well-done hairstyle, it can also damage the scalp and cause hair loss.
In particular, hairspray that is sprayed toward the roots of the hair in order to make the hair stand up softly can leave residue in the pores of the scalp and cause sebum and hair loss. This hairspray may remain in the pores of the scalp, mixing with sebum and clogging the pores….
After using hairspray, wash your scalp with shampoo on the same day to thoroughly rinse off the spray from your hair and pores. Also, when choosing a hairspray, it is important to select a product that is less likely to cause such pore problems.

Silicon
The term “non-silicone” has become common in recent years. It means that the product does not contain silicone. Silicon is a mineral oil. When it adheres to hair and pores, it is difficult to remove, clogging pores and causing hair loss.
In the list of ingredients, it is not labeled as silicone, but as “dimethicone,” “cyclomethicone,” or “xxx siloxane.
Surfactants
Surfactants are included in combination with silicone. They are used to mix water-based sprays with oil-based silicones. It is also used in many detergents. It has a strong degreasing effect and removes the oil necessary for the scalp.
Alcohol
Alcohol is a common ingredient in many different cosmetics. It is used especially in quick-drying products such as hairspray. However, alcohol can also strip the scalp of the moisture it needs as it evaporates. Alcohol is not necessarily bad, but it is better to choose a product with a low content.
Incidentally, in the ingredients list, the ingredients are listed in order from the one with the most ingredients. Look at this order to determine the alcohol content.
Ultraviolet absorbents
These are substances often used in sunscreens and may also be found in hair sprays. This substance is toxic and is known to be carcinogenic.
Dropping it properly is most important!
Although we have listed only dangerous ingredients of hairspray, it is just as important to choose a hairspray that is gentle to the hair and scalp as it is to properly wash off the spray on the head with shampoo. Instead of washing it the next morning, wash your hair and scalp properly that day. It is important to keep the scalp clean at night when the hair follicles are growing.
Don’t let your guard down just because you are young. The sooner you start scalp care, the better. Enjoy different hairstyles with hairspray while taking care of your hair and scalp.
