A big helmet of hair, impervious to the elements, was an important element of 80s fashion, thanks to the influence and abundance of heavy metal hair bands and mohawked punkers. And to get their locks of hair to defy the laws of gravity, these folks and their fans overwhelmingly turned to a tried and true product that been serving people’s needs since the 1950’s, the shellacking power of Aqua Net, the aerosol-based hairspray with ultra hold.  

Served up from the trademarked pink can with a fishnet graphic. Aqua Net first entered the market to help keep those beehives aloft in all but a category 5 hurricane. With a secret formula that has yet to be duplicated, a few coats of the spray, filled with plastic polymer atoms, creates a waterproof artificial coating that is virtually indestructible.

As long as one has a set of lungs big enough to hold their breath for the duration of the follicle fumigation process, Aqua Net has proven time and time again that there isn’t a mousse, gel or spray that can deliver a plastic-coated helmet of hardened hair like a good dousing of Aqua Net.
