J/A/S/O/N Pure Natural & Organic Hair Spray

Having thin hair, I've usually relied on aerosol sprays because they typically work better than non-aerosals. I know, not good for the environment, right? Not to mention they are comprised of synthetic chemicals and are highly flammable. Probably not a good thing to accidentally breathe in, or get on my skin... So, I went in search of healthier options.

First, I tried Herbal Essences' non-aerosal spray in the "Lily Bliss" fragrance. Though it is cheap, contains fewer chemical ingredients, and includes"cactus flower extract," it did not work very well and actually flattened my hair.

Next, I purchased "Thin to Thick," an all natural and organic hair spray produced by J/A/S/O/N Natural Products. Surprisingly, it does give my hair a bit more volume and succeeds in holding it in place. Though it does not quite work as well as an aerosol spray, it is a less toxic option, as all ingredients are naturally occurring.

Ingredients: Purified water, SD Alcohol 40-B, Methacryloyl ethyl betaine/acrylates copolymer, Polysorbate 20, Acetamide MEA, Glycoproteins, Biotin (vitamin H), Retinyl palmitate (vitamin A), Panthenol (vitamin B5), Green Tea leaf extract, Aloe vera leaf juice, Matricaria flower extract, Glycerin, Silicone quaternium-8, Sodium benzonate, Potassium sorbate, Fragrance oil blend (product appears to be gluten free)
