Does Hairspray Damage Hair and Lead to Hair Loss?

ScalpMasters RI • June 16, 2022

Misting hairspray over your hair is likely an integral part of your daily routine. Whether you are use a flexible hold spray that gives you some bounce throughout the day, or you prefer a freeze spray that keeps everything intact, you probably always have your favorite bottle within close reach.


While you may use your hairspray on a regular basis, you may find yourself wondering, does hairspray damage hair? You may also ask yourself the question, does hairspray cause hair loss?

Can Hairspray Cause Hair Loss? 

When you are using a product on a daily basis, and it leaves a thick residue on your hair, it may seem inevitable that it will eventually lead to hair damage or hair loss. Fortunately, however, you don't have to worry. Hairspray does not cause hair loss. In fact, most of the hair products that you use regularly do not result in hair loss — including shampoo, gel, mousse or any other hairstyling product.

Understanding Most Common Causes of Hair Loss

It is a myth that hairspray causes hair loss, but there are many other causes of hair loss that you should be aware of:


  • Stress — Excessive stress can lead to hormonal fluctuations that ultimately result in hair loss. Individuals who endure significant stress for many months on end may find that their hair begins to fall out. In most cases, stress-related hair loss is temporary.
  • Family History — Family history may have a significant impact on whether or not you experience hair loss. Hair loss conditions, such as pattern baldness, are hereditary. If you know that your relatives have experienced hair loss of hair thinning, particularly as they aged, you may also be prone to hair loss.
  • Autoimmune Conditions — Some autoimmune conditions, such as Alopecia Areata, result in hair loss. There is currently no cure for Alopecia Areata, but there are treatment options for those who have been diagnosed with this condition and have lost their hair.

Scalp Micropigmentation: The Best Treatment Option for Hair Loss

While there are many hair loss treatment options to choose from, most people are finding that scalp micropigmentation is the best choice for their personal circumstances. Scalp micropigmentation is performed by an experienced technician who uses a micro needle in order to inject cosmetic pigment into the scalp, creating the look of a fresh hair follicle. This minimally-invasive, non-surgical procedure is the only hair loss treatment option that can offer guaranteed results, and the only treatment that also can be customized to meet your needs.


The good news is, you can stick with your treasured hairspray routine. The even better news is, if you are suffering from hair loss, you can count on the professionals at Scalpmasters to provide you with a customized solution. The technicians at Scalpmasters have trained with top industry professionals, and they are highly-skilled at creating personalized results for every patient.
