And I admit, over using hairspray is not good for the hair either.

I reread this and wanted to explain that of course, I know hairsprays have alchohol. It's just that some are horrible like the cheap brands. The only thing they're good for is getting marker and ink out of clothes.
I use professional hair spray products and know that though they too contain the needed drying properties of alcohol, they also have other quality ingredients that are good for your hair, such as sunscreen, protectants, and shine formulas. These products also leave your hair soft and flexible as if no hairspray is there.
Applying any hairspray to wet hair, such as that described by redhead26, has a different affect to the hair than when it is used on the dry, styled hair. When the hair dries, it tends to look dull and dirty looking, especially the more harsh hairsprays. The alcohol ends up working on drying out your hair while the conditioning qualities that might be in it end up getting watered down and useless in the wet strands.
