Hairspray (Pliable Flexible Hold) 10.2oz
Avoid due to proprietary formula opacity and no PFAS transparency from Puracy on this product.
This Puracy hairspray lacks specific polymer resin or aerosol propellant disclosure despite plant-derived branding. Modern aerosol hairsprays rarely require PFAS, but formula opacity blocks assessment.
