Spraying your hair with your favorite eau de toilette can be tempting, but is unfortunately highly discouraged. A singular spritz on your blowout won’t permanently damage your hair, but it could dry out your strands over time, due to the high alcohol content found in perfumes, not formulated to be used on hair.
Enter hair perfume, the fragrance you never knew you needed. “Nothing smells better than clean hair. A subtle mist to freshen hair when one doesn’t have time to wash it rivals any dry shampoo in extending the length of your blow dry,” declares Mathew Alexander, top hairstylist. Hair perfume, also known as hair mist, does much more than just smell good. Products like the Sachajuan Protective Hair Perfume multi-task as a shield from UV rays while simultaneously providing shine and hydration for dull lengths. Meanwhile, the Show Beauty Hair Fragrance comes in a luxurious rose gold bottle, adding decadence to your ‘do and making a striking addition to any countertop. “My personal favorite is Davines Oi Alluring Hair Mist,”says Alexander. “Besides smelling gorgeous, the product is light and easy to use.”
From Frederic Malle to Victor & Rolf, here are seven hair perfumes to bump to the top of your shopping list.
