HAIRSPRAY! - Tuesday, February 26, 2013
My first experiences with hairspray are attached to the silver and pink can of Aqua Net Hairspray. Although it's been over 20 years, I have vivid memories of this wondrous product. I remember the looks of the can, the smell of the spray and the way that when I brushed my hair after applying it, it flaked whiter than the fresh Minnesotan snow outside my windows.
Hairspray first made it's debut during World War Two (1943 to be exact). While men went off to war, the government was researching how to best distribute insect spray to members of the military so that they could prevent malaria. Well, once the war ended, the beauty industry decided that those mosquito fighting aerosol cans would be perfect for delivering the style freezing sprays, and so hairspray was born. The first manufacturer of hairspray also produced the first spray paint and spray deodorant!
In the 50's, the bouffant was all the rage, and of course, to get a perfect bouffant, you needed hairspray, so the product's popularity skyrocketed, and Spray Net and Aqua Net brands were born. By the time pill boxes and bee hives arrived on the scene, made popular by Jackie Kennedy, women everywhere had to have a can of spray at the ready. The product was even out-selling lipstick!
In the 70's, the woman's lib movement and the peace loving hippies with long, free-flowing hair meant that hairspray would take a back seat in the world of fashion, but glam and punk rock would push it back to the forefront of the beauty scene, with new, environmentally friendly ingredients.
Today, you'd be hard pressed to find a lady's bathroom that doesn't hold at least one can of this wonder product, and in fact, it comes in so many hold varieties that you just might find two!
