Shampoo provides a refreshing aroma in the shower. But even the most potent don’t linger all day. Similarly, a liberal coating of a scented dry shampoo won’t produce a long-lasting fragrance. It’s tempting to add a squirt of perfume to hair, but the high concentration of alcohol in most formulas can really dry out tresses. And no one wants to sacrifice hydrated, healthy hair for scent, no matter how intoxicating. The solution? Why hair perfumes, of course.
Not to be confused with hairsprays or texturizers, hair perfumes produce a refreshing scent but contain a lower concentration of alcohol — or sometimes none at all. Hair mists can actually improve the texture and appearance of hair. Many are formulated with oils that nourish locks, fight frizz, keep color looking fresh and add subtle shine.
Perfume brands are capitalizing on our love of layering fragrance by producing hair mists to complement the usual body lotions and shower gels. There are also numerous options for those looking to switch things up and try something new. Plus, several hair care brands are offering up their own covet-worthy mists.
So go ahead and scroll down to discover some of the best hair perfumes to try now.
