I have used many of Paul Mitchell products over the last 25 years. and have never had a problem. This hairspray had a terrible chemical odor, similar to disinfectant . I just sprayed a small amount on my hair and felt immediately sick, with nerve pain, I get a similar reaction to petro- chemicals, which should never be in hair products. This hairspray was unlike any other Paul Mitchell product, which usually have a pleasant natural scent. I was reimbursed by the vendor, so I am not asking for a refund, just an explanation for the chemicals. I am going to trash it.
