Take a look at the information on the TSA website - they tell you a lot if you read through them (please do):

There are very few restrictions for things that you are going to put into checked luggage - any size shampoo, conditioner, perfume and such can go there (wrap them in a plastic bag in case of leakage, though).

If you want to take those items in a carry-on bag, then they all must be in containers of 3.4 ounces (100 ml) or less, and must all fit into the infamous 1 qt zip lock bag.

Is the hairspray in an aerosol can? The TSA specifically forbids aerosols in both checked and carry-on bags. However, they also make an exception for "limited quantities" of personal care or toiletry items. Unfortunately, they don't define what a limited quantity is. If you have a big 10 ounce can of hairspray, it will probably be taken away. If it is a small one, then you might be OK - hard to know for certain until you get to the checkpoint.

Answer 2

anything with liquid and containers that contain anything exceeding 8oz must be in your luggage (includes lotions, conditioners, shampoos, waterbottles, hairsprays)

They're really tight now, so you should keep anything you prolly wont need til later in your luggage, and have a book,headphones, empty bottle of water so you can refill later
