Hair perfumes sound self-explanatory, but you may be wondering why you would need to incorporate one into your morning routine.
Well, of all places to spritz your everyday fragrance, hair is more conducive and long-lasting compared to skin, particularly if you’re more dry than oily.
As your hair is a natural diffuser, it is a strong carrier for all sorts of scents such as the lingering smell of your shampoo or conditioner. Your roots and follicles naturally absorb odours and as your hair moves naturally, scents are dispersed across your head.
Regular perfumes, however, often contain alcohol, which is incredibly drying for hair and can leave it brittle, haystack-like and more likely to suffer breakage.
Hair perfumes work in the same way as a traditional fragrance, but often include extra ingredients that work to soften, hydrate, texturise or add shine to your locks.
Some even work as a substitute for dry shampoo, absorbing built-up oils and adding a fresh scent to unwashed hair.
Other leading products can be used to fight against frizz or include protectants against UV rays – an priority for those who spend their days out in the sun.
From Byredo’s bergamot-infused hydrating mist to Sachajuan’s fruity formula, here are 10 multitasking hair perfumes to ensure your hair will always be smelling great.
