Human governments decided to ban the emission of these chemicals, and they stopped getting emitted.
So the reduction in the size of the ozone hole actually teaches quite a different lesson than you seem to suppose.

Lmao no fool...that's not how it happened...they found it was tearing and repairing it's self on its own...has nothing to do with man....do you really think the ozone and the Earth is that fragile.....do you really think banning hair spray fixed it... LMFAO ?

The ozone layer is in a delicate balance. immediately above it is a process where ozone is created. Immediately below it is a process where ozone is destroyed.
when things are in balance, the two processes run at the same rate, and the layer is stable.
A little bit of chlorine in the lower level will speed up the process of ozone being destroyed.
Chlorofluorocarbon tend to degrade over time and produce free chlorine gas as they degrade.
Yes the hole is repairing itself now that there is less chlorine in the atmosphere.
The main application of chlorofluorocarbons is for refrigeration, not hairspray cans.
