Abstract

A hair treatment product and method for imparting volume to a hairdo or for strengthening the hair shafts of the hairdo is provided. The hair treatment product is a pressure-resistant aerosol container containing a composition, which forms fast-breaking foam on a section of the hairdo including the hair shafts by means of a spraying head having a comparatively narrow spraying angle. The composition in the aerosol container includes at least 60 percent by weight of water; from 1 to 30 percent by weight of C1- to C5-monovalent alcohol as a foam-breaking agent; from 0.01 to 5 percent by weight of a foam-forming surfactant; from 0.1 to 20 percent by weight of at least one hair-fixing polymer; and an aerosol propellant.
