How many of you have ever gotten hairspray in your eye, or breathed too much of it in, and really suffered from it? We definitely have, on more occasions than we care to admit. But, we also have to say that we've been nervous about trying a non-toxic hairspray in case it just didn't work. However, after seeing this video from EcoStiletto, we're feeling considerably more confident. Check it out for yourself and let us know if, for one thing, you'd try it, and for another, if you'd drink it!

Hair Raising Star Styles

Jada Pinkett Smith
Please tell us this mullet chop job is for a movie. When Jada's hair is slightly grown out, shiny and sleek, its easy to see why she and her hunky hubby are considered one of Hollywood's most stylish couples.

At her best, Katherine Heigl successfully channels Veronica Lake. But with too much product, her locks are dingy: No self-respecting bridesmaid would ever leave the house with hair that looks like it was inspired by "There's Something About Mary".

Christina Aguilera
Only Bo Derek could be a perfect "10" in cornrows. Her new mommy makeover included trading her Dirrty 'do for Marilyn Monroe-inspired platinum blonde waves

Victoria Beckham
Posh pioneered the blunt bob trend -- and it suits her no-nonsense fashion style perfectly. In this uptight up-do (r.), she looks like she's taking her reputation as an ice queen a little too seriously

Paris Hilton
Despite her privileged background, Paris has a hard time pulling off the sophisticated debutante look. A flirty asymmetrical bob works better for L.A.'s biggest party girl

Katie Holmes
Katie's tousled tresses make her look like she's playing dress-up. Her Posh-inspired bob and bangs are picture perfect Hollywood Wife.

Mary-Kate Olsen
She's known for her eccentric style, but Mary Kate's Marc Jacobs' headband is less modern fashion icon, more Jane Fonda (circa 1982).
Tousled blonde tresses are better on a 22-year-old, no matter how many millions she's got

Fergie
Hey, Fergie -- Bret Michaels wants his look back. The star is far more Glamorous when she wears her honey hair wavy and free.

Scarlett Johansson
Scarlett's super-poufy beehive doesn't create much buzz. A more natural style (l.) suits the pretty young star.

Alicia Keys
Hey Alicia -- No One should be using the "Coneheads" for fashion inspiration! Keys' classic beauty shines in her natural curls.

Secondly, who uses hairspray? This isn't the 80's and we sure DO NOT want to bring those hairstyles back. Plus, the "natural" look has been in vogue for like 10 years. No guy wants to touch your hair if it's hard as rock and like a brillo pad.

For most of us, hair spray is still "in"! I don't know of hardly anyone that does not use it, and that includes the teens and 20 somethings. The Farah Fawcett look...yep, OUT! But, my hair would be flat, ugly, and stringy if I didn't use hair spray. A little Biolage finishing spritz keeps it good for 10 or 12 hours. And, it isn't stiff.

LOL Yea, who would ever want to drink it? Maybe in a mass crisis and just somehow hairspray is all you have left???
I only use hairspray if I have my hair up to keep it from frizzing up...so, I'd slap my husband's hand if he tried to touch my hair anyhow LOL
