The present invention relates to hair spray compositions comprising from about 0.01% to about 2% of an ionic surfactant or a nonionic surfactant having an HLB of about 7 or less; from about 0.5% to about 15% of an ionic resin having a weight average molecular weight of at least about 300,000; and a liquid vehicle. This invention further relates to hairspray compositions comprising from about 0.5% to about 15% of an ionic, silicone macromer-containing resin as the hair setting agent, a liquid vehicle comprising a mixture of water and monohydric alcohol solvent (e.g., C1-C3 monohydric alcohols) wherein the composition contains at least about 10%, by weight of the composition, of water, and an ionic surfactant. Suitable surfactants are organic surfactant selected from the group consisting of anionic surfactants, amphoteric surfactants, zwitterionic surfactants, cationic surfactants, and nonionic surfactants having an average HLB of less than or equal to about 7. |
