Can you bring aerosol hairspray in checked baggage?

If you want to travel with your full-size aerosol containers of antiperspirant, hairspray, suntan lotion, shaving cream, and hair mousse, you can do so by packing them in your checked baggage. That way, you'll be sure to have your favorite toiletries with you when you arrive at your destination.



Yes, you can bring aerosol hairspray in your checked baggage, but there are strict quantity and safety limits set by the FAA and TSA. For "medicinal and toiletry" aerosols, the capacity of each individual container must not exceed 0.5 kg (18 ounces) or 500 ml (17 fluid ounces). Furthermore, there is a total aggregate limit: the total quantity of all such aerosols (including deodorant, hairspray, and shaving cream) cannot exceed 2 kg (70 ounces) or 2 L (68 fluid ounces) per passenger. Crucially, the release valves on the aerosol cans must be protected by a cap or other suitable means to prevent accidental discharge while the bag is being handled or subjected to pressure changes in the cargo hold. If you are carrying a standard-sized "salon" bottle of hairspray, it is perfectly fine, but "industrial-sized" containers or those without a cap may be confiscated by security during the baggage screening process.
