Notice that neither of these hairprays are aerosol. Both have pumps. This CFC's that will harm the environment. Also with a pump spray you can target the area you want to spray and will have less product loss as you spray it into the air.
With these 3 certified organic hair spray options, there is no reason to keep using toxic hair spray.
