No

It never has for me. I use it as directed, though, & don't spray it super close to my hair. It does keep your hair in place & slightly stiff (it IS a hairspray, afterall), but doesn't make it overly crunchy. I've never seen any visible residue & when I cleanse my hair with my regular cleanser ( Aussie Miracle Curls Co-Wash Conditioning Cleanser ), all of the hairspray comes out in one "wash."

No it does not but as with most hairsprays you don’t want to spray it super close to your hair because then it might however I have never experienced any type of crustiness unless I spay a whole lot because I really really wanted my style to stay in this hot humid FL weather like I did for my wedding I sprayed my hair with an extreme amount of hairspray so that it would stay because I was so smart to have my wedding outside in the middle of summer and in the middle of the day and I had to wash my hair because it was so stiff but that was the only time.Aussie Mega Hair Spray
