Yes, there is alcohol in those products that is used as a propellant, and is extremely flammable (and dangerous to light).

It's the alcohol in the hairspray that catches on fire. Once the alcohol burns the flame goes out. I recommend you not try this though, especially with fast drying hairspray, lol!

It wil hurt because it is still fire on your hand and the axe will dry up fast and hurt your hand do not do it unless you are really stupd or you can use it as a flamethrower

Look on the label. It may say that it contains butane, so watch out. If so, it is possible to ignite it. But that would be the most dangerous thing.

absolutely. Here is a neat trick. Spray your name on your wall with hairspray and grab a lighter. Great show

Yes, it's possible - but still pretty dangerous.
