Frequently Asked Questions

QUESTION: Why has the product changed in appearance?
ANSWER:

The look of the product will not affect its performance. Gypsy Rose Hairspray is an all natural product and its ever changing appearance in terms of ingredient separation, scent or colour is completely normal. It is a pure, fermented and unique formula of ingredients. 

The product is made using pure apple cider vinegar that is unfiltered and still retains the “mother” and the “sediment” – this is why the product will change with the season. In winter it will coagulate and thicken, in summer it separates and turns a cloudy white. To return your product to its “normal” state, simply shake to emulsify the ingredients. In Winter it may thicken slightly, you can put in sun, or pot hot water to thin out, or in the extreme cold you can add max 20 ml hot water.

QUESTION: My pump has blocked – what should I do?
ANSWER:

If your pump blocks, pull out the pipe and soak both nozzle and pipe in very hot water. If however, your pump is faulty, we are very happy to send you a new one if the previous instruction does not work.

 QUESTION: Will the colour of this product change the colour of blonde hair?
ANSWER:

The orange essential oil in the product- when used as a texturiser regularly (spray close) will give light whiter blondes (mainly levels 9 to 10 shades) a temporary honey gold tone until you shampoo again. Our ‘2 in 1 shampoo’ will remove this each time you shampoo and it’s not a permanent colour stain. To avoid this- shampoo more regularly &/or rinse out in warm water prior to restyling. It is known other shades of warm blondes to enhance foil highlights lifting and refreshing the look!

QUESTION: Why do you use gelatine in the hairspray and is it of animal origin?
ANSWER:

All of our products are not tested on animals – the hairspray is the only product we make that has an ingredient of animal origin.

The Gelatine we use is of ‘A Grade food level’, it is derived from beef skin. It is produced from the hides  outer edges that is normally discarded after the bulk of hide is taken for use for leather goods and clothing etc. In turn it has become a recycled bi-product ie. recycling a normally discarded part (if your wearing leather shoes or clothes its not a recycled bi-product).

If we could use a non animal ingredient that worked across the board as good, we would! So far nothing we have tried is deemed as sustainably viable, readily available with a positive footprint that isnt depleting those ingredients resources.

Our product works amazingly well and is extremely popular with customers who have trouble with the overpowering aerosols and smells, compare our ingredients list to most other hairsprays and styling aids and you will see it is the most pure, cleanist list available.
