Aqua Net hairspray has been around forever! It was my mom's brand of choice in the 60s and continued until "Final Net" pump spray hairspray came out. We used the blue can of Aqua Net to hold our Farrah flips and feathered hair in the 70s and even had a can in the file room to spray on our nylon slips when the static electricity in the office I worked at got too bad in the very late 70s.

I was just reading about the old aqua net. Is there any place that I could find the old aqua net,the one that took 2 shampoos to get out? I have been using V05 and tresemme,but I miss the old aqua net,especially the fragrance.

I remember when I would spray my hair with a 1/2of the can of aqua net,I would spend the next two days with a rock hard style. I miss the old formula, is there any old style aqua net still around??

Ah, yes. I used the extra-super hold Aqua Net in the silver and pink can. good stuff!

i hate this

Have linked this great site in a 'recalling-the-80s' blog for a uni assignment. Mentioned my Aqua Netted hair to attend a Duran Duran gig in 1982!

Do remember how much this stuff costed?? i need to know for a school project!!!

I was just watching Judge Judy and there was a woman on there whose name was Aquanetta! I guess her mom must of really loved the stuff!

Trying to find a can of Aqua Net with the net on it - my mom always had one on her make-up table. I would love to find a vintage can like that. Let me know if you have any ideas at www.AnEveningWithLucilleBall.com

I'm doing a school report on this, and all this information is really helpful. Thanks!

I have been using Aquanet everyday since 1986!

I love it! All the comments about this hairspray. It really brings back happy memories. Now in my 40's, I still am looking for the same hold that Aqua Net gave me.

Does anyone know where to buy the vinatge bottle ones? x

Aqua Net is still manufactured, and honestly, the can hasn't changed much, either. Still available in the pink can, and now in an "unscented" version in purple. It's about the cheapest hairspray on the market- a huge can is under $3 at any mass retailer. It's still out there, ladies, and it still works!

Holy Cow! This stuff made my higher than high 80's do last for days. Once my friend and I did an experiment and sprayed our hair about every 5 minutes to see what would happen - it was like have a shellacked plastic football helmet on! So cool. lol!

The white and pink can is the best! It works every time. Nothing else does for me. It's getting harder to find lately. I ordered a bunch online in case stores stop selling it. You will NOT find a better holding hairspray.

My new trailer (TAB Teardrop) has just been named AQUA NET. It is teal & Grey. I'm a vintage junkie.

there was an aqua net shampoo and hair gel around the fall of 1986. everything from the 1980s that smelled good was either discontinued or they changed the product so it smells bad. their marketing research(probably comprised of their friends and families opinions)is wrong when they say new fragrances are wanted and that no one wants these old products that smell exactly as they did.

haha. i just finished watching a tv show about the 80s rockers and the women that supported them. like the sunset strip stuff. haha. you should watch it. it has commentary about hair and how they used aqua net. i guess this stuff really must have worked!

I just finished my can of UNSCENTED Aqua Net. I purchased another, and the UNSCENTED now has the new PEUTRID (SP?) scent. I knew something was wrong, when they changed the shape of the can. Why must they mess with something that is so good. Now I can't use the stuff, because of my Chemical Sensitive Severe Asthma. It was the last of the hair sprays out there, of the UNSCENTED, that I could use. To the person who loved the old scent of Aqua Net_it's gone_not there anymore :o( I am hoping that someone from the company is reading these remarks, and brings back the old UNSCENTED_it's not that old_it's just a month ago that I purchased the REALLY UNSCENTED can of the product. They messed up with another good product. Sad to see it go down the tubes. Anyone know of a really, and truly unscented hair spray, please email me at lynnvondran@embarqmail.com Thanks! Lynn

cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have used aqua net hairspray since 1985 and i love it! I have alot of hair and it is very curly nothing hold my crazy hair down but the can of pink and white aqua net! But since changing the can about two months ago it doesn't work quite the same. :( I still love it and I hope is around for another 20 more years!

found it online. Just Google planetrx.com and then add this to the address... /Shop/Brands/index.cfm?b=13909&rfr=ggl&kid=112175&gclid=CM3Wveryq5oCFQcTzAod1Vcsbw

i love aqua net i did a science expirement on aqua net and hairsray and suave hairspray and the suave smelled so bad

I've used Aqua Net #3 unscented extra super hold for years and years (the purple can). They recently changed the can style, and apparently the formula was changed, too, because now it's not nearly as strong. It just makes my hair wet without much holding power. I emailed the company (Lornamead) May 9th but haven't heard anything from them. I've been buying up all the old style cans I can find in town!

Hi Claudia and all !!! I called them, and they claim they didn't change their formula, but they are not telling the truth about the matter. They did change their formula, because, as I said back in April, it stinks! and like Claudia said, it just makes your hair wet and floppy. I tried to go without it, for the little bit I need to hold the hair from blowing in my face with the slightest bit of wind, I figured it that maybe it wouldn't make a difference. Well, after a day of misery with my hair, I decided to do a GOOGLE search. I found many homemade recipes for hair spray!!! Here is what I came up with through reading many of them: Reconstituted Lemon Juice (you know what this is, from one of those little plastic lemons you find near the realy thing) A Few Drops of Rubbing Alcohol A spray bottle *I put about an inch of the juice in the bottle, and add about 6 or more drops of alcohol. WALA!!!!!!!!!!! You have a very health friendly hair spray! And, rather cheap, too. Guess what!!! It doesn't stink! My hair doesn't fall out anymore, and my brush is clean as a whistle!!!! Hope it works for you. It's cheap enough_try it. It works for me. :o) Lynn PS If you have purchased the NEW formula_it's in the NEW can_they will refund your money, if you have your receipt and send it to them. May I suggest everyone who doesn't like the new stuff, call their toll-free number on the can, and report it. If enough of us do that, maybe they will change it back to what it has been for MANY, MANY years in the past. Thanks for your post, Claudia_I was hoping others found it repulsive, as I did. Thanks Mary for your email asking for me if I found anything new to use, it reminded me to post what I am doing now. Next, I will try the Lemon Juice Concentrate, to see if that works. If it does, it is even cheaper than reconstituted lemon juice! I'm all for cheaper products! Have a GREAT day everyone! :o) Lynn

I don't want to leave a message about Aqua Net hairspray. What I wanted to know was if anyone remembers a hairspray from the 80's that was really fruity smelling. It wasn't Aussie and it came in a pump bottle. It has been driving me and a friend of mine crazy because we cannot for the life of us remember what it was called and we can't find it anymore. If anyone could help us out in remembering it, could you post a message on here? Thanks so much.

Tracy, was it Pert? That smelled fruity. Or Prell?

I know they changed their formula. My hair started falling out and turned to straw. I'm 63 but I've always had healthy hair and always used Aquanet. Suddenly, it wouldn't hold. My hair would be a mess and limp before I got to work. When I visited my daughter and used a can I left at her house, it held. I threw all my cans away. I bought Treseme Super Hold ($3+) at Walmart and love it. It holds better and doesn't damage my hair. Thank God it was the hairspray and not just getting old.

I have been using Freeze It hairspray since Aqua Net changed,now it is heavy duty hairspray,keeps my hair up all week. But I would go back to Aqua Net ,if they would go back..i used it for 40 years.

OMG my mother still uses the classic Pink&white can of Aqua net, they sell it at kmart. its like $3.99
