Formulation view Aerosol base combining Polyquaternium-4 for hold with lightweight plant oils (chia, camellia) for conditioning, and phospholipids mimicking lipid structure. Propellants offer portability but require fire precautions. Ideal for defining curls and moisturizing; oily scalps may need post-wash to prevent congestion, while dry ends benefit from leave-in nourishment. Monitor ingredient oxidation stability.
