Aquanet is not available locally.
What other brands to look for, or what ingredients to look for?

I've tried this, still warping.

I use Garnier Fructis Style extreme hold 5
Works great on ABS. Just a little spray then heat it up.

I use the cheapest unscented, super hold that I can find. I don't know why, but the cheaper the better it holds. I just had a print stick so good that I pulled a chip out of the glass plate I'm using.

Mine's also the cheapest/simplest I found. And I also pulled a chip out of my glass plate once. However, while it seems to keep the middle of the model very well stuck, the sides lift pretty badly. And once a tiny bit is lifted, it's easy for the whole model to be knocked off. Kind of like peeling off a tape.
Can you post the name or ingredients of your hairspray please?

I found that the tape works best when the bed is unheated. I am using plain masking tape.
My bed temp to day is 24 c. I have been printing all day today with no problem using tape with no heat. Using PLA with hot end at 220 c.
The filament sticks better if the bed is unheated.
You may have to heat the bed a little if you live in a cold climate. You don't need to go above 25 c.
