Reactions is a show that uncovers the chemistry all around us. We answer the burning questions you’ve always wanted to ask, blending the worlds of science and every-day life.

How Does Hairspray Work?

Season 3 Episode 9 | 2m 52s

How do hairsprays protect your hair while keeping it flexible and light? What's the deal with PVPs? How do shampoos work, and why are some people choosing to dump the lather altogether? This week, “Ms. Beautyphile” Trina Espinoza and Lex Fleming from “Made U Look” join us in the New York City YouTube Space to explain the science behind hair care.
